God forbid someone make a joke....Freedom of expression in the modern public square should not be infringed. These are monopolies and should be broken up and/or be subject to the 1st amendment.

I don’t understand the joke. Could I ask you to please explain it?

Crowder was doing a "cultural appropriation month" event on his podcast, in which he dressed up as a caricature of various cultures as a sort of festive introduction. He did Mexico, china, africa, the middle east and britain.

Perhaps a different context will make it easier to understand. Imagine a caricature of a fat businessman chomping on a cigar. The gag is in the caricature. If it offends you, you will struggle to find it amusing, though with crowder I suspect the offense is part of it.

A caricature of a "fat businessman chomping on a cigar" is a critique of those with extreme wealth. What exactly is a caricature of a "Chinese man with bucked teeth and big glasses" supposed to be critiquing, exactly?

Great point. And the “fat cat” caricature is historically a punch upwards, poking fun at power. The buck teeth Asian stereotype was born from a grotesque fear of the “alien” and “other”, a whole different can of horseshit to be opening in 2019
