Donald Sterling needs to just shut his big mouth.
The racist LA Clippers owner was caught disgracing himself again — this time with an inflammatory tirade against ex-gal pal V. Stiviano in which he said she “hates being part-black” and “bleaches her skin.”
The billionaire basketball boss insisted Stiviano, who is half-African-American and half-Mexican, is the real racist — while he is the picture of tolerance.
“She is the most discriminatory person I have ever met,” he said, in a new recording obtained by the Daily Mail.
“She tried so hard to make her skin white,” Sterling said. “She asked me ‘did I like black skin?’ I really didn’t think about the color of her skin.”
He claimed she said: “I didn’t want to be black . . . My brothers and sisters are Mexican. Do you know what it is like to wake up every morning and want to be white?”
Sterling is under pressure to sell his NBA team after a recording of him telling Stiviano not to bring black people to Clippers games surfaced. In the new recording, he insisted he loved all people, saying, “How could you be in [basketball] and be a racist?”
But, as with his other comments, he just kept digging himself a deeper hole.
“The vast overwhelming amount of white people don’t even see the color. They don’t think about it,” Sterling says. “I don’t know if black people feel the same way.”
Sterling made the comments in a recorded conversation with a friend named “Maserati,” who reportedly set him up with Las Vegas escorts.
The 81-year-old — who blasted Magic Johnson on Monday for getting HIV through promiscuity — also boasted about “hot” sex with Stiviano, though “it took an hour to get there.”
Johnson responded to his comments on CNN with Anderson Cooper on Tuesday.
Sterling says Stiviano baited him into his initial racist remarks because she was trying to extort money from him.
He claims he was just saying what he thought she wanted to hear.
“But I’m talking to a girl,” Sterling. “I’m trying to have sex with her . . . If you are trying to have sex with a girl and you’re talking to her privately and you don’t think anybody is there, you may say anything in the world — what difference does it make? Then the girl tapes it and releases it — my God, it’s awful.”
