It might have been possible to interpret it as normal shit-talking if all he had done is imitate what that player had said, but the rest of it betrays a seriously tone-deaf attitude regarding black culture and the historical power structure of blacks and whites in this country.
I feel bad for all involved because this is one of those messy situations where there are shades of gray.

Exactly. Well said.
The only problem is the time Doyle told a black kid to join the rowing team but said he couldnt because he knows black people dont like boats on water.
