Yeah I get that, and me neither. But there are plenty of black players that have gone through all the same (and worse, coming from an older generation) and seemed to get through it okay without being a total prick. In fact, it seems like most other black NHL players have the exact opposite attitude.

Being the victim of racism does not give him the right to apply that label to anyone who dislikes him.
