Is It Just Me?

Has anyone else noticed the glaring absence of any coverage by either Stewart or Colbert of ESPN’s racist remarks about Jeremy Lin last weekend?
Colbert even mentioned Lin last night, only to then move on to some stupid pointless crap about not giving a high five to a guy dressed as a conquistador (what the fuck was the point of that, anyway?).
I have to say, I’m disappointed in both shows for not calling out ESPN on this one. Apparently, racism against Asian-Americans is still permissible.
Bullshit.
