And Mike Tyson is a singularly clumsy dancer.

Is it me or is this extremely racist?

As far as I can see, it's just celebrity schadenfreude. But thanks for asking.

What is "it"?  If you're talking about the performance, possibly, although I, too, think it was probably meant more to humiliate past-their-prime celebs, regardless of race, creed, or color.  If you mean this thread, I don't think so.  I was mostly just surprised at Mike Tyson's bad moves--I mean, you'd think a former boxer might have more grace--which made me wonder just how much brain-damage he has suffered over the years from blows to the head and other forms of abuse.

I meant the performance.  I guess it might not be as racist as it is grossly exploitative, but whatevs.
