Hey man, you get as well as you give around here. If you’re going to use a dipshit slippery slope argument to defend the continued existence of a character who was a cheap racial stereotype 30 years ago, and who hasn’t changed much since, expect to get called out for it.

The Boondocks is done by black people. Simpsons is done by primarily white, Harvard-educated males. If you make fun of yourself it’s less of a stigma, hence why Drawn Together got away with a plethora of Jew jokes. I don’t see Apu being changed significantly, it’s more likely he just won’t be their only south Asian…

Where was DerpFiddlestein last month? A year ago? I wasn’t aware of YOU 10 years ago, but I don’t use that as justification for denying your existence. 

The Boondocks was written by and starred black people.   The Simpsons writing room is still mostly white males and their premier South Asian character is voiced by a white guy

You do know saying “They all sound like that” is the verbal equivalent of saying “They all look the same to me”.

Amen! Now, let’s go watch some white guys express their creativity while doing blackface.

Are people not even allowed to talk about stuff that’s problematic or racist without sarcastic responses like this? Hari’s not shitting on the show, he’s addressing the topic as a lifelong fan, but the response to him has been this exaggerated “AH SO I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST BAN EVERYTHING?!” nonsense.

Didn’t watch the documentary did you?

but at least they won’t be funny.

Joke’s on you, Gould. This loss guarantees the Bears a better draft pick and I know John Fox and Ryan Pace will draft a way sicker kicker with that high first rounder.

...they’re alright with it

The fact that his DEFENSE for admitting to obstruction of justice was “I had my official legal counsel, the guy who represents me in court, write it” is hilarious. Truly a clown car of incompetence at best that wouldn’t bode well for him if we weren’t already in world of madness. If Trump were a young black kid…

Whiny unfunny comments lamenting/mocking ‘PC culture’? Something tells me you already fit in just fine at the Kinja-era AVClub.

Eternal Blue, Forever Green

You’re right, he is not confessing to assault. He is gleefully admitting to the fact that wealth and power turns what would be assault into something he can playfully get away with. Under your rubric, most of what happened to the women assaulted by Weinstein, Lauer, and the like would seem to be those women “letting”…

Or, he’s so delusionally narcissistic that he believes they’re giving consent, even when they are not. I understand that most people are not going to specifically announce “You may grab me by the pussy”, but that it also tends not to be something a person consents to. Fondling, stroking, fingering: sure. Grabbing?…

How hard can it be to solve this crime? Are there really more than one or two joggers in Buffalo?

So Scott Baio is a dick too? Hardly. At least Trump was born in the US of A

Surprisingly, this may be the most respectful comment Trump has ever made regarding women. Or the least degrading... the bar is so low right now.
