Jokes about Canadians are much more likely to be just jokes. Jokes about hispanics or LGBT may be harassment. It depends on why you do it. Given Crowder's heavy conservative bent, I'd doubt he has perfectly noble intentions when he jokes about the latter.

So joking about Canadians is just a joke but joking about Hispanics is actually harassment but only if you are a Conservative.

For example, Crowder did that bit where he dressed up as a stereotypical Chinese man. He has a history of race bait jokes. That doesn't mean these jokes were racist, but it's a mark in the "they might be" category.

That is mocking a Nationality which is done by everyone, Every nationality has stereotypical actions like the British being posh or the Americans being obese or the Irish being drunk, Jokes about this are made by everyone, So I think it is wholly unreasonable to say that...

I've already addressed this point. It depends on why you mock the nationality. British people in the United States, were never the target of racial derision and mistreatment. Irish, Chinese, Mexican people are were/are.

So because at some point a certain group of people have been mistreated we can never joke about their nationality again?

But if a person with a history of targeting jokes at certain groups and who has expressed views that may be prejudiced, is making Chinese racist jokes, I'm less inclined to interpret their motivation charitably. Do you understand?

Well, he is a comedian so he will end up targeting groups with jokes, But secondly when has he very expressed views that are prejudiced?

He is anti-immigration and that's suspect, he spent the better part of his video speaking towards Maza mocking the man's speech, sexual orientation, and mannerisms. He has his "Socialism is for f*gs" shirt. He has done stereotypical caricatures of trans and Chinese people.

Being anti Immigration is not always down to to prejudice you can be anti-immigration for other reasons, Secondly, he mocked his speech yes as a joke, Thirdly while he may have mocked his orientation he only ever referred to him by using words that Carlos has used to refer to...

himself, The shirt actually says Socialism is for Figs, He has confirmed this multiple times and you can actually see if you look at the shirt carefully. And again stereotypes of groups of people are done by thousands of comedians.
