Exactly. And Amy is funny in some respects. But her pulling out jokes that Latinos are rapists in this political climate where people like Donald Trump are running for president is super inappropriate. And that’s what I take issue with.

C’mon, enough. Liking Amy is one thing. Not understanding POC not liking her is quite another.
Yeah being a WOC in American society is very tiring. I’m tired of dealing with racism in all forms. And I don’t think it’s too much to ask that people who have media attention, who will talk about things like gun violence, speak out against racism instead of perpetuating it.
Watch Chelsea Peretti’s stand up. I like lots of female comedians, but I agree with this. It’s too easy to fall back on old tropes like that and female comedians needs to challenge themselves more. (But I would also say just about every fat male comedian has a series of jokes about being fat and out of shape, and I…
Totes.
Remember! They’re just jokes! Unless it’s someone Jezebel doesn’t like, then fuck them and their career forever and ever!
If that’s all she did, you would be right.
What is the difference between Amy Schumer and Iggy Azalea on jezebel?
Yeah I totally love jokes that dehumanize Black and Brown people on the grounds that they smell, are mentally ill, or are rapists. So funny. But anyway, honestly, she’s just as guilty. White liberal “feminist” comedians can take a hike.
i know this is kinda unpopular, but i am not super into female comedians who spend most of their material being self-depreciating. i also know that the reason that amy schumer (and i’m also thinking of tina fey circa 30 rock) reach so many people is because self-depreciation makes them less threatening to people…
I wish Jezebel wouldn’t post so many positive things about Amy Schumer. As a Mexican woman, it’s appalling to see how Jezebel still uplifts her while ignoring that she’s said so many racist things about Latinos and other people of color in her jokes. What really makes her any different from Trump? And don’t say that…
I will concede to this when people from all races admit to this. We give white people shit for this but what about other ethninicites that refuse to associate with others? That’s bullshit, too. I’ve seen plenty of racial cliques and that’s not beneficial, either.
It probably doesn’t help that the current lumbersexual fad has resulted in a bunch of men who just look like they could chop wood then toss you over their shoulder and take you to bed, but in actuality wouldn’t know a trunk ax from a twig hatchet and have the upper body strength of my ninety-one-year-old arthritic…
And if your “type” is a race that’s differnt than yours, you’re just a “fetishist.”
So we have to be diverse in our dating or else we’re racist?
I... really?
i mean, i can recognize that a woman of another race is attractive, or hell, that a man of any race is attractive (i’m a straight cis white male, so.), but not really be attracted TO them... any more than i’m attracted to the women at the top of this article (which is to say, i’m not. They’re pretty, tho!)
I DEFINITELY have a type that catches my eye when I see them - namely tall, dark hair, beard, broad shoulders, looks like he could chop wood and then toss me over his shoulder and take me to bed. That being said, only a handful of men I’ve ever dated look like that. It’s just what I find initially aesthetically…
My type is transparent poeple. That’s why it looks like I’m alone all the time.
That sort of sexual policing gives me rapey vibes. It suggests that we have to go against our own bodies and experiences to somehow fuck our way to social justice - which is gross. I don’t need to be shamed or coerced into having sex that I don’t want to have, especially not when its only to further a narrative.
