So you would also have no problem if she says on the Conan O'brien Show... "My friend is like, why don’t you write something inappropriate on the form like, ‘I hate NI**ERS'… I just filled out the form and I wrote ‘I love ni**ers'— and who doesn’t?” It makes no difference if there's an individual or a group of people who don't have a problem with it. The fact is, if she had said "NI**ERS" instead of "CH*NK," she'd have more than just the NAACP knocking on her door! What would happen if an Asian guy says on national television... "My friend is like, why don’t you write something inappropriate on the form like, ‘I hate K*KES… I just filled out the form and I wrote ‘I love k*kes'— and who doesn’t?”
I've read enough of your posts to come to the conclusion that you try pretty hard to suck up to and be accepted by White people and White society in general. You fit well with what a sellout appologist is. Someone just needs to read the responses written by Asians/Asian Americans in this thread to figure out why it's easy to pick on Asians by non-Asians and get away with it easily; whether it's making derogatory comments about Asians, depicting Asian males as feminine dickless people in the media, and in this case, using racial slurs to joke about Asians.
It was an out of context joke she said 5 years ago. The joke laughs at the knee-jerk PC crowd. Sometimes I think some non-black minorities get uptight with public usage of slurs in some contest to get equality with the N-word.
That's not why I compare it with the N-word. What difference does it make? They both are racial slurs. "Ch*nk" means to "MOST" Asian Americans what "Ni**er" means to Black Americans.
I wouldn't have any problem with it at all. With her delivery, I'm sure I'd laugh. Ni**er is just a word. When used by a racist, its an ugly word; when used by one black man to another, it can be a term of endearment. Either way, its just a word. I doubt a left leaning, Jewish female is trying to get anything more than a laugh when she uses the word (and she does use it). You PC Police are breeding a world of p*****s. You're messing with natural selection, and you're positioning the human race for a take over by three toed sloths. I may not see it, but I don't want to look down from heaven and see my grandchildren kneeling before some tyrannical furry sloth because you idiots bred everything interesting and edgy out of the human race.
Do you have any other proof that Silverman's some Chinese/Asian bigot? Even if you never heard those words at the playground, you need to grow a thicker skin instead of grilling every other person who uses naughty words on the air. Look Janet Jackson's other nipple! What do I know... I hate TV. I'm off to kill some policemen on GTA Vice City....
Harriet Miers looks good to you ramirez. also I agree that to some extent Sarah Silverman is a chink in the armor of otherwise unfunny comediannes.
Did you ever get called "Ch*nk?" Did anyone ever say to you "suk mi ding dong ching chong?" Did anyone make fun of you because you have slanted eyes? Did signs that say "no dogs and CH*NKS allowed" affect you in any way? Are you Black? Are you Asian? Dumbass ignorant p*****s just won't get it.
****, I can't dance, I can't rap, I can't jump, I can't find any reason to march in a parade and worst of all I can't say anything offensive about other races without being crucified. Being whitey ain't as glamorous as it looks.
Wow, what a classy guy you are. Why did you repeatedly capitalize "whites"? Is it because you are a sellout trying to suck up to them by putting them on a pedestal?
I've listened to a lifetime's worth of Polish jokes.....some good natured; some downright nasty.......people just trying to get me into a fight. And sometimes I've had to fight........but never over a word or words. It was only because of tone of voice, body language and the actual situation that let me knew I had no way out. I'm not going to get my panties in a wad over someone making a funny joke at my expense.....I'll make a joke back at his expense. If he's cool about it, then we are cool. Just another thing that separates men from boys. Needless to say, I'm confident that I'm not the ONE who is a dumbass ignorant p***y.
All this crap above is why I NEVER go into the D&D.. Sarah Silverman is funny as hell, but lets keep this thread on topic and keep it from getting locked or moved please..
Sorry dude, you're out of line with that. And the sutff later in the thread, but this is the worst of it, its personal and it happens to be wrong. You might want to take a breath and remember that people can disagrere with you without being sellout apologists, or dumbass ignorant whatevers. I personally think her joke on Conan is making fun of racists and people who are hypersensitive to racists. Obviously, it hurts people, so I would not probably not go there myself, but its not that is mocking Asians - she is mocking people who do not know the difference between a racist and someone who is mocking racists.
