He is simply stating that he would not take offence to a similar thing happening to his race, in fact, he would find it funny.

I would pee myself if I saw the Chinese team pull there eyes open to have the round-eyes like Americans.

1. It wasn't racist in any way. Look up the definition of racism
2. Making ape-like poses is a direct insult to blacks, who have had monkey comparisons made in the past (and currently I'm sure). Asians HAVE a different eye structure than non-asians. Black people AREN'T monkes. Subtle difference there...
If anything, it was stupid and in poor taste. There was no insinuation that Asians are inferior, worse, lesser or anything else derogatory. They simply were poking fun at their eyes. Considering Anime's obsession with westerner's eyes, I see it as fair game.

Well, many people have a big problem with China holding the Olympics in the first place. Without turning this into a political convo, read up on some of their "Olympic tactics" like slavery, etc.
