Actually Piper is Canadian, thats just his gimmick. Read his book and you'll find out.
I'm going to say this again and Sanyo read up, THEIR JUST GIMMICKS AND IDEAS! Do you remember what happen with WCW and the racist lawsuit that was brought up by Ernest Miller, Sonny Ono, Booker T and a few others? Seriously if anyone in that lockerroom had a problem with being sterotyped they'd leave and sue the hell outta the WWE. Do you honestly beleave that Booker T didn't say it was ok to bring up his past? That's his personnal buissness and he could have told them "No, I rather have that not exposed to the public." Yeah it pist me off how King and HHH were making those comments, but it pist me off more when my friend started doing it while we were watching WM19, then I made him shut up, it doesn't matter how..I just did. The whole purpose of the JBL vs every illegal mexican in the U.S.A. is suppose to shock people. WWE has been doing this forever! WWE thinks that if someone sees this, they'll call up their friend and say to them "You gotta turn to Smackdown to see what Bradshaw is doing!" And as far as Tajiri goes, the same goes for him as it did with Booker T. I'm sure if he had a huge issue with it, he'd take off and sue. Now as far as Hirohito (sp?) goes, its been done so many times in the past does Ludwig Bolga ring a bell? Same thing, what about Berlin? I mean yeah it was in WCW but it was the same gimmick. That sort of gimmick is done all the time in wrestling, so I suggest getting used to it.
As far as Eddy's speaking goes, I don't really think the WWE is making him talk like that. I mean I really doubt that someone in WWE is going "Eddy you gotta talk this way, or we'll fire you!". I just think everyone is looking way to deep into this. Hell people are offended by the Eugene gimmick, and thats not mentioned in here at all. That should be racist too, shouldn't it? Go ahead and bicker about that now.
