Way back on the night before the Super Bowl, Saturday Night Live Weekend Update co-host Michael Che referred to the New England Patriots as being from the most racist city he’d ever been to and became the millionth person to suggest that Boston was racist.

On Thursday Che appeared at Boston University and talked about the angry messages he received on social media because of that comment. On Saturday afternoon, WCVB picked up the AP story about Che’s comments about his comments. They tweeted the story on Saturday evening. This morning MMQB’s Albert Breer became the millionth person from Boston to hear someone suggest Boston is racist and go “nuh-uh!”

A few minutes later, Bomani Jones engaged Breer on the subject.
