You can’t find the source because your story is bullshyt.
Thats the skit that helped him decide he wanted to quit.
Chappelle Show staff and crew were laughing AT him as soon as he came out in the pixy outfit and makeup. Without one joking being told or the cameras rolling. And that’s when he realized that his subversion of stereotypes and tropes through comedy was starting to be more harmful than helpful.
The more popular he got the more he got disconnected from his original intent.
That shyt was his breaking point. But things were building up for awhile (Comedy Central execs asking for specific content, people yelling at him in public, the show making a lot more money than he was seeing and starting to realize a room full of white dudes got him)
“I’m dressing like a harmful racial stereotype, white people think it’s funny without me having to tell a joke. Im not getting paid enough for this shyt!”
it had nothing to do with an Asian skit
how much worse could his skit have been than him opening up his Netflix special with a joke about watching black people beat up Asians reminded him of his experience beating up the corona virus (Asian virus). At the height of Asian hate going up with the corona virus.
stop it
