He *has* stuck his foot pretty thoroughly in it a few times - I recall he said something vaguely racist about Lucy Liu once, though I think it was supposed to be a joke and was just... really ill-considered?
Anyway, I understand you getting that vibe, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

LMAO, I almost commented about that incident (he called Liu "a dog", IIRC) then figured it wasn't worth whatever barrel of worms I opened up, so +1.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it was clearly an attempt at sarcasm, but it fell flat.

[(Anonymous)]

It more than fell flat; "dog" has been a British slur against Chinese people for ages. It would be like a white American actor "joking" about her and saying "Oh, yeah, she's a chink." It's that bad.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn’t know that context to it, damn.

IIRC he’s also made racially loaded comments about like, hip hop and thugs, or something.

[(Anonymous)]

"Dog" is not any more unique to the Chinese community than it is to every other race and culture that's not British that the British also have called dogs to justify whatever Imperialistic nonsense they were up to that week. It still sucked and was unfunny, but you've got to stretch pretty damned hard to make it into a racial slur instead of the generic misogynistic bullshit it actually was.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it was misogynistic, but it wasn't racist. British assholes use "dog" as an insulting terms for women they find unattractive, regardless of gender.

(I presume anon upthread is half remembering the "no dogs, no Chinese" signs that were alleged to be hung on park gates in Shanghai*, but 'dog' was not used as a racial slur against the Chinese).

* They weren't, but otoh Chinese people weren't allowed in the park, and neither were dogs, so while the sign is a myth, the racism was real.
