91213NR2_MAYER_B-GR_02Even though John Mayer had the gossips in a spin over his seemingly racist comments toward Kumail Nanjiani recently, he still doesn’t want you to think he’s a douche this holiday season.

John went out and got himself some free PR from a homeless dude. While gallivanting out between the Slipper Room and the Darkroom, John was stopped by some poor fella, asking him for a quarter. Instead of giving him a quarter, John offered him a roastbeef sandwich at Katz’s. The guy said not to bother, but John persisted anad obliged when the guy asked, “How about a pizza?”

What John really could have done to make this guy’s Christmas special was to take him in the bar with him. Hey, he could’ve been his wing man.

Is John Mayer a racist?

by on Dec.10, 2009, under articles

91118M5_MAYER_B-GR_01John Mayer attended the Slipper Room in New York City and opted to do a comedy routine. Nevermind the fact that he bombed his entire set, he was actually stepping on some toes. Apparently it was Pakistani comedian Kumail Nanjiani’s performance time.

Nanjiana kept mum about the stage hijacking until he attended comedy night at last night’s Get Of Your Knees at Bell House in Brooklyn.

He said that John bombed his twenty minutes and ate right into his time. Things only got hairy when John referred to the comedian as “Kabul”. If that wasn’t enough, John heckled Kumail, saying “he looked like a brown guy but sounded like a white guy.”

When John was asked about the incident, he said, “I felt really bad. I felt like I ruined his set.” Umm…duh! He also commented that the scenario was “combative in the sense that the crowd didn’t really accept the fact that the jock, the guy who gets the girls, was at a place where the guys go who talk about how they don’t get the girls.”

Racist? What do you think?
