It was hilarious that they showed this sign on YES. It’s not like it’s some inside joke that only a few would understand. Even those who have not seen Full Metal Jacket pretty much know that this is a reference to Vietnamese prostitutes.
Anyone else notice that the Yankees dropped all three of their Asian players at the same time? Ok, 2 1/2.
On the other hand, they now have 4 1/2 African-American players, the most in recent history. Reminds me of the joke from a few years ago when Sheffield accused Torre of being a racist…that although Joe treated his black players poorly, he was only mad at Jeter half the time.

I’m just more or less shocked that Matsui didn’t go yard in this one.

It’s not racist because it’s a message of love.

Am I missing something? CMW, Matsui, and who’s the third?

Damon is 1/2 Thai, through his mother.
