My black girlfriend wouldn't find 'Chocolate dude' offensive, so why should (I assume, all of you white people) find it offensive? like Töki said, it's just easy for you to call him a racist, seriously. The first person/people to mention racism are therefore racist themselves as they are pointing out the differences of peoples races. Lewis' skin colour IS that of chocolate, how can you argue with the truth? I'm white, white as a sheet, as white as ham when it goes all off and mouldy. As my girlfriend says "Deal." Which means deal with it. Sorry to bring it up again, but i thought i had to enter the debate from a first hand point of view.
