Adam Carolla under fire after racial comments against boxer Manny Pacquiao and Filipinos
April 3, 2010 by J!-ENT
Adam Carolla is taking the heat after racial comments during his radio show. Carolla is known for his off-the-cuff comedy but this time, his comments about Manny Pacquiao and Filipinos are now coming under fire. Carolla said in his opinion of boxer Pacquiao:
“Manny is off praying to chicken bones”and that you don’t have to respect him because he’s a “fu**ing idiot. Someone has to tell him that it doesn’t make a difference.”
“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”
“Get a fu**in life as a country”
Many people offended by Carolla’s comments have taken to the social media sites, on youtube, Facebook and Twitter to protest against Carolla’s comments.
“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”
“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”
“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.”
“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”
Needless to say, Filipinos were not too thrilled about the comment as well as other non-Filipino listeners who have posted their anger on blogs and on Facebook.
