A few guys compete and play for charities of their choice. As they introduce their charities, one guys says (paraphrased)
" I am playing for people who look like me and talk like me..."
Is this racist?

If this is from a real story, post a link to a reputable source so I can judge the context myself - without your attempt to paraphrase it and camouflage it.
If this is a figment of your imagination, it is so devoid of clarity, context, and substance as to render it virtually meaningless and indecipherable.

As pointed out by other ppl, how in the world could you expect someone to state an opinion with that snippet that appears carefully edited as well as paraphrased? Was the guy in a wheelchair? Did he have a speech impediment? Was he dressed in a clown costume with bright green hair and big floppy shoes? Was he wearing fatigues? Was he a Conehead?
It seems that perhaps you want to stir up some more shit about racism. Why is that?

Yet another liberal afraid to commit.
It shouldn't really matter who these competitors are, but since you insist...
one is a white Jew, one is Asian, one is Black, one is Hispanic. You already know that this person is playing for people who look and talk like him, no other reason, no handicap.

Assume I made it up. If either of these people said they are competing for above mentioned reasons, would it be racism? You don't need to know more than that.
Once a few people answered the actual question, I will post a link. It actually did happen, and husband and I both noticed.
