00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:02.130
- I can say, first of all,

2
00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:03.629
that I'm really sad that

3
00:00:03.629 --> 00:00:05.610
that episode is no longer in rotation.

4
00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:06.840
I think the reason that it was pulled,

5
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:08.280
and this is a black person speaking,

6
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:09.510
I think the reason it was pulled was

7
00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:11.659
an over correction and I
think they should fix that.

8
00:00:11.659 --> 00:00:14.010
Ken Jeong's character played a drow

9
00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:15.900
and they are, they have black skin.

10
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:18.120
It was not Ken Jeong in blackface

11
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:19.020
and I think that anyone

12
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:20.940
that understood Dungeons & Dragons

13
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:23.100
would've understood the distinction

14
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.840
and also there's a moment when Shirley,

15
00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:28.596
in the episode, literally
calls what Chang is doing

16
00:00:28.596 --> 00:00:30.600
a hate crime because it shows

17
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.880
that Shirley didn't
understand Dungeons & Dragons,

18
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.680
so it had been handled

19
00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:37.350
and by them removing that show,

20
00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:38.940
we've lost a great episode

21
00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:40.860
where Charley Koontz shines

22
00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:42.960
and it's a great story about bullying

23
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.430
and showing up for your friends

24
00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:46.080
and I hope that they reconsider,

25
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:47.060
so I can tell you that.

26
00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:49.643
(gentle music)
