When marginalized people make jokes about themselves and their communities they're hilarious. When privileged people make jokes about marginalized people it's not funny at all. Privileged people only have a handful of jokes about marginalized people and they all suck.

racial and other stereotype humour can be funny. and it doesn't necessarily need to be from marginalised people to be funny (though it does help that the "punching down" is removed). I think it's funniest and least cringey when the differences are celebrated rather than ridiculed

to clarify, crowder is a tool and doesn't deserve his platform. racial humour is a delicate needle to thread and the context that makes it funny and not just cheap evolves very quickly. crowder's "comedy" is cheap, nasty, and mean spirited.

I mean, I'm not Asian, so I don't know if I can make a comparison. His video on indigenous people was worse.

I'm not sure if this is just you reinforcing how awful Crowder is, Basketball Chump, or if you're implying the chosen example is okay bc there's worse out there. If it's the latter though it doesn't matter that there is worse bc it all serves the same ultimate end (us vs them).

It's more reinforcing how bad he is. I didn't even know about this until today, it also shows hiw terrible of a comedian he is if he has to go to the bottom for jokes. It isn't even comedy because he's shown his racist hatred on the subject.
