No. I hate his shit whole.

I liked him until he started calling Gaethje an imbred
What about if Gaethje said MJ had a "lack of education?"
He got a full scholarship to play football but transferred to another school where he wrestled. I couldn't find any info on whether or not he received a degree or not. I honestly don't think it matters whether or not he is educated. What makes the comment racist/bigoted is that there is a longstanding stereotype that black men are uneducated. So to call a black man "uneducated" can be viewed as racist/bigoted regardless of his educational background. You wouldn't ask, "Well is gaethje inbred?" to determine whether or not MJ's comment was racist/bigoted so why does it matter whether or not MJ has an education?If Gaethje was aware of Johnson's background and new he wasn't well educated I don't think it would be a racially motivated insult (like one of the Diaz brothers for example, one could make an assumption that they don't have much education, and it'd be fair to say said assumption would be independent of any racial motivations).
But I can definitely see what you're saying, and if Gaethje just threw it out there (especially if he knew Johnson wrestled in college or something) then yes, I'd say it's a racist remark. I'm assuming this did happen, otherwise you wouldn't ask. Does anyone know if Johnson wrestled in college or kinda grew up on the street, or what his educational background is?

No it’s not racist. People don’t even know what the word means anymore. Its just a way for mental midgets to intimidate others into backing down. It’s a cowardly tactic when the accusation doesn’t fit the accused.Correct me if I'm wrong, Gaethje first made the "lack of education" comment before the "inbred" comment. Does telling a black man he has a lack of education not have racist implications?
