did anyone actually think "progressiveness" or whatever the hell these dopes call it had a happy ending?

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:

B-b-but Asian people never complain about racism :troll:[/Typical CAC]

Both comments took the words right out of my mouth.
It's so bizarre seeing so many here talking like typical whites with the "It's a joke! Get over it! Political correctness gone mad!" lines.

And sure it's a joke directed at the Redskins, but jokes need delivery (which this one clearly lacked).

the problem is everyone identifies the word Redskins as the name of a football team and not a racial slur...until well, the white liberal hijacked it.

Look at all this racism in this thread. Really though, I should expect nothing less from a Black Dominated website. Blacks are without a doubt, the most racist people towards Asians, so I have come to expect this type of talk from them. Oh... and Cue the perverse Sexualization Asian Women. It's so predictable.





I am usually very anti-PC, but after watching the video with Ms. Park. I have to take her side on this issue. It doesn't matter if it is satire or not. I am quite tired of all the racism against Asian Americans. Why are we always the brunt of some stupid-ass jokes? I don't get it?.

Yet, all someone has to do is mention monkey in the same paragraph as a reference to a black person (Donald Rumsfield) and people will have straight up fit. All the White Liberals will rally around black people and shame anyone who even says anything that can be remotely interpreted as racist. Yet, as Asians, we need to just get over it?
If some guy says anything remotely racist about Jews or Blacks, it's fukking curtain call for that guy. There is never the same reaction for other ethnic minorities and especially Asians. It's like this all time. I remember when some Black Girl told an Asian girl to "Go home and do some nails" on 50 cent's reality TV show, and that Black girl wasn't kicked off the show. Imagine if the Asian girl had said something similar to the black girl. The Asian girl would be shamed in the public eye.


And then look at the American Narrative that is repeated in the media time and time again. There is never any mention of the Chinese exclusionary act, the Chinese Railroad workers, the Occupation of the Philippines, very little is ever mentioned about the Japanese internment Camps, The outrageous and authorized bombing of Cambodia, or the Black-on-Asian Genocides in Oakland.

Yet, we are forced fed all this fukking Black slavery crap, and then told about the Nazi's all the every hour and every minute. Like WTF? Nothing bad every happened to us? I don't get.

If we want to relax and say jokes about other races, that's fine. Then I should be able to say whatever Joke I want about BLacks and Jews. I don't deserve special treatment, that's fine. But Neither do they. We should all be equal under the law, and under social norms.

Nobody is going to criticize you for making fun of anti-semites and anti-black racists.

Nobody is criticized for satire.

Asians were not the target of any joke. Racists were.

It doesn't sound like you understand anything that is going on here.

your points about this being said about blacks are definitely true. And someone already made this point. Not that I'm saying your point is irrelevant, but a lot of people are missing the actual joke here... He's mocking Dan Snyder

Do you not remember Patrice da gawd O'Neal defending the joke Imus made about those basketball players? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton aren't the spokes persons for all black people.
