The latest issue of VIBE magazine features P Diddy and in his interview he talks about how he felt that controversial journalist Martin Bashir asked him racist questions during his Nightline interview.

In the interview with the mag, Diddy feels that he shouldn't have gone ahead with the Bashir meeting and that he was out of order questioning him of his son's $400,000 birthday present.

This is what Diddy said:

There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.

Do you think that Bashir was out of line for asking Diddy these questions? Do you think asking him about the Maybach gift was racist?7
