was eddie hearns comment about asif vali racist?

In the post fight conference i believe he said something to the effect of ''theres a cab waiting outside for you asif'' , and vali didnt take the comments too well, not sure what every1 else thinks,

 

He said it cos Asif used to be a taxi driver, I don't think he was being racist...

 

Edit.

 

This is from a post I made on a different forum I think Asif said "You've spoken to everybody"? and "you starting son"


Though it's from memory the post I originally made a week or two back.

 

i wouldn't be surprised if he went back to driving cabs once khan retires, which serious athlete would want some1 like him as there manager he doesn't know ****.

 

It's not racist anyway. A lot of Asians are taxi drivers, including Asif Vali. That's a fact :deal

 

I Think Asif owned the the Taxi firm that Amir Khan's Dad worked for. I don't think it was a racist remark, Hearn made the comment to undermine Asif, that's why Asif was angry and it was out of order, but the usual kind of comment at press conferences when the insults start.

 

Very True a lot of asians are taxi drivers, its not racist. Is steryo typing racist?

 

Hearns talks too much, he should shut up and concentrate on that farce Prizefighter.

 

I'm not sure how that could be construed as racist. Are taxi drivers more likely to b ****stani?

 

I love prizefighter:bbb

 

He is stating a fact not a racial stereotype.

 

What fact is that? doubt Asif Vali still drives taxis. A bit like stating all Irish are drunk potato munchers.

 

If Asif Vali said to Hearn go back to your football club or go back to private school to Hearn would that be deemed offensive?

 

Not really. It's a fact that Vali used to drive taxis.
