Yeah I don't think you can say that because the WWE fired Cryme Tyme they're racist... That makes... Well it doesn't make anything... Certainly not sense anyway.
I don't think that because the GM's on the shows are anything other than white means that the WWE is devoid of racism, and I don't think that racism is the sort of argument that you can use math on. I don't think the ratio of black to white wrestlers or how many times a black dude holds a title has anything to do with the debate at all.
As I said earlier, and as others have also said since, the WWE is a money making business, it doesn't care about whether or not their champions are black, white, asian or Khali. In order to be a successful business you can't have such primitive business running senses like racism, sexism or any other kind of prejudice, it just wont make you as much money as only focusing on the most potentially profitable and efficient system you can possibly make.
What I think can be racist and prejudiced in general within the WWE is the length they go to in storylines and characters to make money. As I said earlier, the most shocking example for me was certainly Hassan and Eugene at WMXX, but also stuff like the Sandman beating the crap out of Eugene, a mentally challenged guy, with a singapore cane while Eugene begged him to leave him alone... And the Sandman was supposed to be face? That's just messed up man! I don't care what the message was, that ECW was so much more different than WWE or whatever, it's just not cool to pitch the idea of a mentally disabled guy begging someone not to hurt him (while Sandman commands him to beg), and then getting the crap beaten out of him for no reason other than telling the crowd that he loved them and all the ECW wrestlers and so on. It's just so unsavory I actually felt really uncomfortable watching it.
All this is just a matter of opinion, I mean I say that, but I have no problem with JBL being racist to get heat or Eddie Guerrero lying, cheating and stealing. JBL is someone you're not supposed to like, so him doing that stuff is supposed to be a bad thing anyway, and Eddie was a single character, amongst a pool of mexican wrestlers who had very different gimmicks, who was proud of his background and even the stereotype sometimes attached to it, I never felt as though I was being told to think that all Mexicans were criminals.
Stuff like Hassan I had a big problem with because it was just so extreme and over the top with its message and it was at a time where all things middle-eastern were over-the-top hated in America. I also hate Stone Cold Steve Austin, because I don't want to like and cheer a guy who seemingly hates everyone, is an alcoholic and the definition of white trash. At least Attitude era Austin had some sort of morales and could go 30 seconds without turning on his mother, back then he was just a working stiff who was standing up to his boss, and all the DTA and so on was aimed at 'the man'. Now he's just a jerk.
It's late, I'm rambling and need to sleep.
