- OK... Eddie can make fun of whites, he really raked on the Chinese with the
- dick jokes, he uses the black stereotypes, and he slams gays using the stereo-
- type... So, what's the difference... Personally I find some of his stuff funny,
- mostly his early stuff before he started using obscenities every other word.
- (I don't mind them, but overuse is overuse...)
-
- Of course a white commedian can do all the same things, except rake on blacks.
- Then someone somewhere complains about racism. How about Jewish humor. Its fine
- for Jewish commedians, but if your not a Jew don't touch it.
-
- These are all stupid rules ingrained in society, all a bit to extreme for me.
- I laugh at stereotyopes used in humor because I recognize them for what they
- are, exagerations, false fronts. Unfortunately there are those who take them
- seriously, that's called prejudice.
