I think it's pretty safe to say that if the Habs simply had a problem with Subban because of Race they wouldn't have committed to him the way they did with the contract they gave him. That said, I really think it's hard not to see some of what we've heard coming from that organization of being representative of a bit of a cultural clash and expecting PK to "mature" in a way that doesn't really seem necessary.
So I think the criticism is more of a "get rid of those sideburns" sort of thing that probably has racial undertones which is to say it's not just "they're bigots".
