I don't think its a racist statement at all. It's pretty much spot on can't argue your position even if I wanted to debate it.
Considering how much the american public adored Yao Ming and Linsanity your robotic analysis hits it right on the head. Americans as a whole want their athletes playing in this country to at least make an attempt at learning English. It surprises me because many countries make English mandatory as a second language. That didn't happen in Japan till 2011. One would think if you were serious enough about becoming a pro athlete learning the language where you might play becomes a necessity.
