Insensitive remarks, assimilation based for sure. Some interpret that as stereotyping, some as casual racism, some take that as hard core racism and react accordingly.

His comments made could've made his point clearer with a few additional or different choice of some simple words, however Don has never been a wordsmith at the best of times with his rambling off the cuff style or presenting. And he's not likely to apologize for a bad choice or a word or phrasing, considering the context though he may clarify, but that wouldn't have been until next week.

But with a hyper sensitive social culture driven by social media, it's condemn, scold and shame (and in this case threaten sponsors of the show) first (and whatever happens from that as a consequence), get clarification after, at the best of times.
