Have you ever heard of jokes before? People joke about all kind of people, for example, Crowder recently mocked Canadians in doing so is he encouraging his fans to dox and harass people who are Canadian?

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?

If he had only done this stuff briefly amidst many other caricatures of all kinds of people, then I would interpret these jokes much more charitably. But he always seems to target the same particular groups. Over, and over, and over again. That's suspect.

Well, that is only because he was debunking videos from Vox and it would not make sense in the video to mock other people but if you look at all his videos he does mock other groups and has probably mocked other groups much more then he has mocked LGBT people
