Steve Harvey under fire for making jokes about Asian men

Steve Harvey is once again making headlines for the wrong reasons.

The comedian is getting heat for comments he made about Asian men during his the “Steve Harvey Show” on Friday.

Anyone else would be fired immediately, and they would be crucified by the media. Think Paula Deen and Michael Richards.

No one can take a joke these days.

Im Asian and I don't care. I've laughed at many more jokes about whites and blacks. By having more jokes about Asians it will bring us into the same media spotlight shared predominantly by other races.

Are Asian men unattractive? I can tell you that I had little interest from any race other than Asian. It is what it is...

At least ya'll are not seen as barbarians who want to sack Western civilization and steal the women.

I'm Asian-American as well and I am not offended.

There is far worse racism that is dispensed by Asians in both America and Asia proper towards blacks. This is like a drop in the ocean.

Besides, a few harmless jokes is nothing compared to a history of lynchings, slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, institutional racism.

The real racists, in this situation, are Asians who want to tell prominant African-Americans what they can think & say, when Asians are merely guests in this country.

So you're saying people in power have more rights to offensive speech than others?

You're baiting me into guessing what race you're talking about.

Lol Middle Eastern. Still technically 'Asian' though and most have a little Mongol blood thanks to Chingis

I love the Irish because they can laugh at themselves.

Well, I've laughed at terrorist jokes. Here's a comedian that completely banks on it.

We just have to learn to laugh at each other without taking offense.

 

[Watchmen]

The issue isn't about taking offense or not, the issue is about networks inconsistently applying their "standards." For example, black comments bad! Asian comments good!

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I never found him funny in the first place.

 

[buddhist]

I'd like to hear the liberals' take on what he said.

 

[psychoslice]

If you can't laugh at yourself, then its time to give up and die.

 

[suncowiam]

I'd like to hear the liberals' take on what he said.

Why bait an argument here?

It's like asking conservatives what they think in a gun violence thread. What's the point when you already know the answer. Just accept your differences.

I'd like to hear the liberals' take on what he said.

The New York Times told me that blacks are allowed to say negative thing about othe races.

I called the liberal hotline, and Satan confirmed it was okay too.

I read the article, but it didn't have enough liberal bias for me. I went to a college campus and found a 19 year old transgender protester to translate it for me:

"Rainbows are the best. I love dragons and Chinese food. Let me pee in the girls bathroom."

 

[Revoltingest]

Harvey's real sin is being unfunny....except for that Miss Universe bit.
(But I suspect that he didn't intend to announce the wrong winner.)

 

[AsianActivist]

If you can't laugh at yourself, then its time to give up and die.

This. Also if you're a reasonable person then you should also realize that even the prospect of censorship (racist motivated censorship at that) is more offensive than someone's "feelings" being hurt. Really loving those salty soy sauce tears right now, lol.

So some unfunny racist jigaboo makes and takes cheap shot jokes about some slant eyed nips and gooks having small wieners to turn a buck and a cheap laugh from two drink minimum drunks laughing because the idiot next to them is- so what (sarcasm)

Really though, who cares?

Asians are not guest in this country. They are Americans, except the ones that actually are guest.

I welcome their wimmen but kick out the men!
