I was having a discussion today with a friend/co-worker and we were discussing some of the topics that I had posted here recently. Mostly on racism, patriotism and illegal immigration
These days you have to be “politically correct” in everything you say or do. There seems to be different rules for the average Caucasian. (see my blog “White People“from 1/26/07) .There comes a point where sarcasm and joking around can be considered discriminating, bigotry and racist. Now, when it comes to comedy, where is that fine line? How come Carlos Mencia and Dave Chappelle can make fun of anyone and everyone, yet Dennis Miller or Dave Attell have to watch what race they are making fun of??
Let’s face it, it’s not individuals that most jokes are about…it’s the stereotypes.
So my conclusion of the whole conversation came to this:
If you don’t like the jokes or comments, stop living up to the stereotypes. Then you have nothing to be ashamed about or nothing to defend.
Got that?? Stop living up to the stereotypes!!
Attitude?? Yep, I got attitude…
