Dave Chappelle's Impressions Are Insanely Accurate | Netflix Is A Joke

Yup, it’s exceedingly difficult to reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into in the first place.

Many of the jokes are offensive, but the thing is that he gets everybody. I was cringing at the Chinese caricature (as a black guy myself), but the fact is that he went after white people with the heroin bit, Nigerians with Juicy Smoillette, black people throughout the special (and throughout his career at that), all of LGBTQ, etc.

I think making jokes about untouchable topics or groups helps normalize them. As a black dude myself, I honestly feel a little weird and othered when white comedians make jokes about every groups under the sun but obviously dance around black people (for good reason since they’ll be crucified for it). I would probably feel the same if I was trans and everyone was dancing on eggshells around me.
