Whoops.
Backstory:
Mexico lost yesterday but advanced to the World Cup round of 16 thanks to South Korea’s 2-0 shocker of a win over Germany.
Telemundo later did a segment featuring some of their personalities wearing El Tri jerseys, and two of them, a guy called “Chef James” and the woman to his right, meteorologist Janice Bencosme, are seen in the background here doing the offensive-to-Asians “slanted eyes” gesture:

More like suspend dat ass. Jesus Janice can do no wrong.
Kinker wouldn’t have a clue where to start with that
Kinker quit 3 weeks ago and moved to Vegas to be a raiders beat reporter.
That KSL forshit pay wasn’t getting it done.
That handjob knobbin tobobbin has been putting out his ‘articles’.
Notice how they aren’t as refined and tactful like previous Kinker articles
and are full of more useless information.
God, racism is so thick throughout the United St— oh, well…
I would do her.
Hold on… my TV, radio, and websites have told me that only White Men are racists…. what is this?!?!?!?!?! Mind Blown
Build the wall….
