Did you support the Human Rights Tribunal taking a comedian to court over a bad joke? |
No matter which way you’re spinning it you’re defending racism.
And if you want to go the comedy route, there’s a common understanding with comedians that you don’t punch down. Show me a white comedian calling black people apes without any significant backlash.
With your logic the outburst that Micheal Richard’s had on stage is fully appropriate because he’s a comedian.
