I'm sure that kid just yelled "boner" because he had an erection from Del Rio's awesomeness. Or his butt. I don't know. He's trying to tell Vince to rehire Rene Dupree.

So what? That‘s like saying it‘s perfectly fine to make fun of anyone‘s particular ethnicity because “it isn‘t a race“. Please explain to me how this makes any sense. Its not fine, but its just stupid when people think of nationalities as races. Prejudiced kid, then. Don't sweat the semantics so much.

On the R-Truth end of things, all I'm going to say is this :
People see what they want to see. Complain when he says "You people aren't fit to *insert stereotype that was applied to the Mexicools here*".
Of course, now that I've said that, Vince will have him say exactly that, complete with Josh Matthews saying "By 'you people', he means the ridiculously wealthy."

Like that South Park episode where Token wanted more rich people in town.

Slight tangent regarding the slur "beaner", being the northerner/midwesterner that I am, I'd never even heard of it until my favorite local coffee chain up in Michigan... ...changed their name to "Biggby's" because they hadn't heard of it either until someone apparently kind of tapped them on the shoulder and said "Yeah, about your company name..."

Well Truth's promises to send him back where he came from didn't help matters either. I was in attendance yelling "You're racist!" when R-Truth said that, as well. Then I lead the Hispanics in my section to start chanting Del Rio. They were proud to have a white guy leading them!!

I honestly expected Cole to say that Alberto del Rio had become a big deal, fairly quickly.

I didn't see Raw, so I don't know what else Truth said...
But if he said 'go back where you came from' to a Canadian instead, would there be a 'racist' stink made about it?
And surely there's be no stink if it were to one of the Russian gimmick wrestlers in the 80s.

Glad I'm not the only one who started jokingly calling R-Truth a racist That should be his gimmick.. R-truth... rapping racist A Kanye West gimmick? Actually imagining R-Truth getting on stage after Pee-Wee won at the Slammys and say and I quote '"Pee-Wee, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish, but William Shatner was one of the best guest hosts of all time! One of the best guest hosts of all time!' or do you mean that he do an interview on tv and state 'John Cena doesn't care about fat people.' Damn R-Truth is more entertaining to me now with that gimmick.

That's funny. " er, hey listen, we've done some market research.."

Didn't watch Raw, but man that had to be hard for Del Rio to listen to those slurs from an unenlightened troglodite when he's trying to cut a promo before his match.
I hate people who are like that. Yeah, he's a heel, but there is a difference between booing a guy and being a total ass.

I flipped over and caught the Del Rio match and to quote the most Awesome WWE champion in history, "Really? Really?!" Do we really need racial overtones in everything that involves people that aren't white? {Spoiler}And while we're at it, why is it that when you get someone that has a gimmick considered outside the norm, for example Billy and Chuck, it has to be weird and over the top to the point of alienating the audience? I honestly don't think we've seen a face "gay" wrestler ever presented as a threat. As I straight man I'd like to see a big, tough guy come out, kick asses, get massively over then offhandedly mention in a promo that he was gay. Sorry for that tangent but I HATE when someone who's different from the ideal or the norm is treated as bad. Del Rio vs The Racist Kid at Mania, Submission Match. Was that the same kid who trolled Punk's promo? That kid annoyed the schnitz outta me. Explain? I must have missed that. *Tangent put in spoilers, not really political but it's not subject matter everyone's gonna want to talk about.* It would be awesome to see a monster face come out as gay. But I doubt WWE could book him without making it a comedy gimmick.

Regardless, it annoys me whenever there are jerks who want to drag everybody down with something stupid like that.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I'm pretty sure Del Rio found out who the kid was. Then proceeded to have that kid's orphanage bulldozed and steamrolled to make way for a new garage for all of his fine, luxury, automobiles.

R-Truth was talking about FCW, not Mexico.
