Most of the visible minorities offended either dont watch hockey night in Canada, didn't watch don cherry growing up or are liberals living in outrage culture land.

If someone was offended by his comments, they don't watch hockey night in Canada?
I'm a visible minority, know a whole bunch of others, we all watch hockey night in Canada and grew up buying Rock'm Sock'm tapes.
I'm definitely not a social justice warrior, outrage culture type and do find that segment of our population annoying.
Yet I find what he said to be stupid, discriminatory and he clearly meant what he said.
Am I offended? Not really, I have thicker skin then that and bigger issues in life. But I'm also not naive enough to pretend he meant something else or isn't the person he is. Even Don Cherry will tell you that.
