Agreed, such an ignorant comment. Also (I'm assuming his ancestry is Korean) but Asian Canadians have been living in the Lower Mainland since the late 19th century. Given his age (and his Korean background), you could also reasonably assume that his parents were born in Canada. Disgraceful.
Hammer is the solidest person I ever met. I know both gentlemen who were in the booth and Bruce was a coach when I reffed I knew he had a temper but while he might act questionable I never would have imagined he would go to that extent
@@tdfmtig For one that’s playing junior hockey in Canada? definitely out of line, especially to say it on a live broadcast. guy seriously has to give his head a shake. and seconds after he said it was “wrong”. so he knew what he was doing. i’m done replying now lol, let’s just agree to disagree.
@@_watty The comment was for sure out of line and sounds pretty racist knowing he’s from Canada. was just wondering if the player was from Russia or something
@@Paroseni. I understand that but the fact that this dude said what he said, was called out on it, and didn't think it was a big deal anyway or at least try to apologize? It shows unfortunately there's a segment of the population that still doesn't get it.
@@arizonarangerwithabigirono8738 In the moment, when called out by his partner he should've apologized to the audience for the poor joke. For the offence/hurt, to Kim after the game.
@@drg8687 I'm white and if someone approached me in Japan and asked me if I even know how to speak Japanese, I'd say no and move on. I wouldn't cry and get offended over it, like a weak little boy. Modern culture wants your weak self to get offended so you waste time and energy, while the elitists gain more power over your below-average life.
@@zyx777zyx I always love when sleeze bags like you slime your way into a thread, completely miss the point and show everyone what a fool you are. The point being made wasn't how your snowflake feelings are when you hear the question. The point was, are you only asking certain kinds of people if they can speak certain languages.
How is this racist? There are white people all over the world who don’t speak English.... Would it have been racist if a player with a Swedish name had that said about him? Plenty of Swedes don’t speak English. It’s only “racist” because Kim is part Asian? The comment is rude end of story not racist. In fact I think his comment about Kim getting on a ladder is worse.
Give me a example when a announcer said that to a white person, because regardless on who he said it too he would be assuming that someone does not speak english based on where there from, which is why it is considered racist. It doesn't matter where you're from.
@@terrysagas My point is that it’s not “racist” to assume someone doesn’t speak English because what they look like.... So you assume everyone does speak English then? Isn’t that racist from the other side then too?
@@ckitchen5288 no it is racist, the announcer in the context that he used was in racist way. Owen was literally born in Vancouver. The announcer should've know this considering the game is in Vancouver. He said what he said based on his name or appearance which is the racist part. It all depends on the context. And yes if you live in Canada you should know at least some english or French. And if not then people shouldn't joke about in a hockey game.
Good for the other broadcast guy to call him on it immediately
Thank you
The kid was born in Vancouver such an ignorant comment! 🙄 Sheesh.

Soooo does he speak English ?
IM CALLING THE COPS
It's Canada, so you probably could.
What a hoser! Sheesh
🤝
If the guy is from a different country that’s a fair question
he and his parents were born in Canada, if you’re racist just say that bro. this question is WAY out of line.
@@_watty so asking if someone speaks a language is racist? So asking if a player from Russia speaks English is racist?

NO, it does not make it racist to ask that question, if you think it does you dont know what racism is @@_watty
Jaw drop WOW! In Canada in '22?
ay this guy is not the status quo, the other guy shut him down immediately, as most Canadians would. most people would I should say

Does anybody here understand what the definition of “racist” is? I’m gonna say that’s a big NO.
LOL
Apparently asking if someone speaks a language is considered “racists” to these clowns.
@@Pointlesshandle48 would you ask a white person born in Vancouver if they speak English? Cause if not then.....

@@terrysagas Stop being so sensitive.
Though, it is Canada so maybe he's from Montreal or something and only speaks French? Nah, that wasn't cool at any point past like 1950.
Shut yer yap and stuff it with some stroganoff or some peroagies
