Who cares......Get over it and move on
Would you feel the same if he called your mother "insert race here" CU:evil:T?

"... whereas "Americans"does not." - 'American' isn't a race, it is merely a reference to a location (USA) where there is no one clear ethnic group which dominates as is the case in China. It's multi-ethnic.

But he didn't.....he was rude and vulger to a noisy fan, got fined, made a nice sarcastic apology. Who cares, move on. If your panties are that far out of shape send a letter to Lacoste and Wilson and tell them you will never buy their products as long as they endorse him and that you will push others to do the same.
If it was my wife who had been insulted like that she would have replied to him point blank that he could go F*** himself right then and there. So he's a jerk big deal - tennis full of them.
No not really.........Get over it and get your panties out they're bundle
I don't really understand the apologizing. By saying "putain Chinoise" or "f*cking Chinese" he is implying that whatever that individual was doing was consistent with what he perceives to be typical, negative behavior by Chinese people.
"...get your panties out they are bundle?"
same thing as americans killing afghan civilians and it sure is a normal act
What. A. Jerk."I love China because I find their woman doable" What an ass.
I read that now, trying to fix things, he said: "My words were not meant against China. I love Chinese people. I can perfectly well make love to a Chinese woman." [«Mes paroles n'étaient pas dirigées contre la Chine. J'aime les Chinois, je peux parfaitement faire l'amour à une Chinoise.» http://www.lematin.ch/sports/tennis/llodra-pourrais-amour-chinoise/story/31674160
So first he calls her "putain de Chinoise," then he repeats it in English "F--ing Chinese". http://www.purepeople.com/article/m...nciers-il-recidive-malgre-une-amende_a97529/1
And then he apologises by assuring us that he is capable of making love to Chinese women. Really, this guy needs some social skills, or something.
He's just a cheap ***.
'My black friend' is a really safe driver.
He is 'articulate', too.
I am 'tolerant'.
^I am kidding ... Brothers love it when you say those things.
They SHOULD ban him. He would thoroughly deserve ithmmm...where is the hue and cry for llodra to be banned from IW or suspended?
what he did is far worse than what Serena did at the USO this year.
He was apparently abusive to ballboys and linespeople as well.
Just saying.....
Sorry, but "Americans" refer to people from America, not the United States. I'm an American too, you know. I just was not born in the USA.

The ferocity of the reaction to Llodra's remarks is out of all proportion to the offence.
He was fined a reasonable sum and if he were fined anymore then there would have to be a full inquiry with lawyers, evidence.
And complete evidence rather than the kind of sketchy evidence that newsreports contain.
Direct your reformist zeal out into the world. The ATP is not going to make the world a better place. Start with your local government and ask it hard questions.
He's just a cheap ***.
The remarks that the Chinese agency quotes Llodra as saying have been partially denied by him.
His words were, according to him, as follows:
Je suis allé présenter mes excuses aux Chinois par l'intermédiaire de ce journaliste, mais on s'est mal compris tous les deux. Je ne lui ai pas dit ce qu'il a rapporté. Je lui ai dit: "Qu'est ce qu'il faut que je fasse pour vous prouver que je ne suis pas raciste? Il faut que je fasse l'amour à une Chinoise?" Ce n'était pas péjoratif, c'était une forme de respect."
His obviously annoyed response to a question as to whether or not he was a racist was:
What do I have to do to prove to you I am not a racist?
Make love to a Chinese woman!
This was what the Chinese agency has him saying:
"I love Chinese — I can totally make love with a Chinese girl."
On the face of it, Llodra's account sounds more plausible. The Llodra incident demonstrates the perils of kangaroo courts based on partial and inaccurate reporting.
Llodra doesn't want any kind of woman other than his wife.
you have no idea about french do you.
Some of these French people seem to be extremely angry and eager to blame everything and anything on someone.
You're the one who has demonstrated no idea of French.
I'm open to an alternative understanding of what he claims to have said.
Until you produce one you're not worth the time of day.
no you are the one.
and who do you think you are to be "open to an alternative understanding of what he claims to have said" ?? you think anyone d care ?
you r just a waste of time.
1. Ferocity is the right word given the minor nature of the offence.
2. The sum was around 20% of his earnings which is reasonable.
3. You've completely missed the misogynistic nature of his remarks as has everyone who has commented.
4. I did not say what he said is ok. I said there were more serious issues of racism in the world to tackle.
5. I don't believe in zero tolerance policing as it is racist in practice.
6. It's best to keep politics and sport separate, which is not an opinion people talking endlessly about the Llodra outrage share.
Being Jewish or American has nothing to do with race.
Llodra said nothing equivalent to the expression you quote.
Indeed, we have little certain evidence of what he did say.
What little 'evidence' there is indicates misogyny.
+1.
I am amazed that folks have so much difficulty with this concept. If you drag a person's race/ethnicity into a dispute having nothing to do with race in an effort to put them down, you are being racist.
Honestly. Do you think you can get into a dispute with somebody and toss out something like "Dirty Jew" and not have a problem?
It is not a defense that the person is actually the race or ethnicity that you selected. It's that you are bringing it up to disparage the person.
That makes you one then
I'm not sure what the circumstances were but any fan acting like a jack ass, no matter what color they are deserve verbal abuse.
