so wait if that twitter handle had never tweeted that out no one would be complaining? why wasn't anyone complaining when the show actually aired?


edit: I just watched the clip how do they not get the joke there? he's ripping on Dan Snyder.

I understand the joke and humor behind it, but if African Americans were the target of this satire would people still be defending it?

I'm a big fan of Colbert, and was a bit surprised watching that skit. Don't really see how anyone who complains about bigotry towards their own race can say Asians don't have any right to be angry.

shyt was funny thought :russ:

see it's not even really bigotry towards asians. the joke is demonstrating how stupid Dan Snyder looks in the whole Redskins controversy.


he could of picked any race like here's Mario Fettucini's Foundation for Sensitivity to Wops or Whatever.

I agree, but do the same thing with black people and I think those who are defending it will change their tune real quick. Not a big deal, just saying...I can see why some Asians might be angry.

what i don't understand is why ppl never take into consideration the shyt black ppl have been through... do the same to black ppl just shows lack of comedic intelligence.

Colbert made up some obviously fake org.

beck would have said NAACP

:whoa:

I'm not saying all that.

Also, the Chinese stereotypes, particularly the opium ones, come from some pretty ugly realities also.

Current ones? Not that it makes a difference. I've seen some pretty insensitive things said by Republican's in office about Women, Blacks, and Hispanics that are realities.

Are people this stupid or what?

We are talking about liberals, so of course they are stupid. Faking outrage and trying to get people fired is what liberals do.

The funny thing is that Colbert routinely distorts things that Republicans say in order to falsely portray them as racist. Now he is getting a taste of his own medicine from these left wing lunatics.

Everyone in this thread saying this is no big deal would be up in arms if:

A. Colbert had say something similar about blacks or Hispanics

or

B. a Republican had said this
