>Jimmy Kimmel was rapidly criticized for his jokes about the names of two nonwhite people during his turn as host of the Academy Awards.
>He twice drew humor from the name of the best supporting actor winner, Mahershala Ali, including a request to yell his name as apparent visitors from a tour bus entered the auditorium. When an Asian woman in the group told him her name, followed by a man named Patrick, he said: “See, that’s a name.”
>On Twitter, several people said making fun of nonwhite names, far from simple middle-school bullying, serves to “other”-ize them. Many said they had dealt with it for a long time and decried what some called “casual racism.”
tfw the left tears itself apart
why can't these niggers just shut up and lick out my asshole
Is this real? Who the fuck cares? They're petty dumb jokes and even Jimmy knew that. He said those jokes to keep it light hearted and keep things moving. Why is everyone so sensitive?
i wish everyone, left and right-wing, would stop getting mad at fucking jokes
a joke about some people's names is not an attempt at casual and subtle racism as much as a joke about trump isn't an attempt to undermine republican values
can everyone just shut the fuck up?

Real, yes. Sad, yes.

Agreed. Trumpkins and Drumphkins getting triggered left and right. All there is left to do is eat popcorn and watch shit burn down.

But those really are weird names, nothing to do with color
What is wrong with americans? Why do they want to suck so much black dick?
>>79896547
Seriously. I voted for trump and can laugh at him as well. You should be able to laugh at your president and make jokes about him.
But fuck Betsy DeVos and everything she stands for

Cari Nation sounds like a nazi name. Racism is a tool by the upper class to divide the working masses along with cockshit like the Oscars.

No one cares about Trump being mocked. It's that it's done constantly to the point of exhaustion by people who obviously virtual signalling.
Norms aren't universal, what a person thinks is weird or normal is a reflection of their personality. For Jimmy to draw humor entirely from the perceived "weirdness" of those names is a reflection of his inner bigotry. What does the phrase "that's a name" even mean really? Is it a better name?
It's basically immature and underdeveloped humor (like that of a grade schooler) combined with a careless attitude and a set of closed-minded core beliefs.
This is your monster liberals
This is your special snowflakes

>completely omit the fact that Patrick was also asian.

...yes, they are. When something is common, it is the norm. When it is uncommon, it is abnormal. That's literally the definition of "normal".
