And if your comedy has to be bashing down it isn’t funny either.

Lol, right. Amy Schumer is god and cannot in any way be critiqued. It’s fine she thinks Indian men smell and Latino’s are rapists.
But that skit doesn’t exist in a vacuum? She has loads of overt racist jokes, so I don’t give her a pass for intention on this one.
Indian men smell. Latino men are rapists. What is controlling the audience about those jokes?
Nope. But you know...White feminists gotta feminist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it is so bizarre, she uses same jokes as white men do about women but they never would be tolerated here. If a dude did a bit where he went on about how crazy latina’s where do you think it would be defended here?
I’m going to copy my response to vnother user :
Yes, and this slobberfest around Schumer is going to keep on going. Not only are people who call her the greatest or just the best going to ignore her racist stand up, but they will also try to push any conversation around it to the background so they can keep raving about her.
Love how they have no answers for any of these.
Maybe in that skit, but not in her stand up. Her jokes are prefaced with the idea that they’re coming from this clueless white person, right - and she goes ahead & makes the joke - Blacks get better names, stop yelling; Latino men stop beating women, Latina women stop being so batshit crazy, Indians you stink - BUT…
No that is literally hipster racism. Doing a racist joke and then being all ‘but I am the dumb ass for being racist *wink* *wink*. ‘
Hipster racism is still racism.
My favourite scene was the bit in her show where she mistakes one black shopping assistant for another, because black people all look the same. HILARIOUS .
My favourite comedy bit of hers is when she makes this joke about racist white girls by actually making a joke about how black people should get nicer names and stop yelling all the time and latino men should stop hitting women and latinas shouldn’t be so cray cray and how Indians should use some deodarant, although…
And FIFA will give no shits as long as China builds those stadiums by any means necessary.
In Trinidad and Tobago, investigations are much more civilized. Potential indictees are given plenty of warning; in return, the potential indictee demonstrates sincere gratitude through gifts, favors, etc. It’s all about respect and dignity, you see.
Given that he’s a native of Trinidad and Tobago, then it’s probably likely he is used to getting advance warning and prepping his “care package” for the authorities.
I really like the beginning of the video where he complains about not getting an advanced warning of his arrest and the charges against him. It’s like he’s used to living in an entirely different legal system in which crimes are negotiated away with money before charges are ever pressed. That part alone convinces me…
I’m pretty sure that’s actually the guy who’s sending the Nigerian prince emails.
