"Bad wording"? "Not racist"? He basically said that Jeremy Lin doesn't have the right to have dreads because he isn't black. I doubt he'd look at a black person with dreads and call it hilarious. The most hilarious thing here is this excuse of an apology.
Come on, if you see a man wearing a dress it looks pretty funny. Some things just look different on different types of people based on culture and society. It doesn't mean it actually looks weird or it shouldnt be done, it's just looks funny because it's uncommon and not the "norm" (though I don't think j Lin looks weird with the dreads). It seemed like a reasonable response though.
