JFC PC culture is literally ruining anything fun. Take a fukcing joke.

New SNL cast member Shane Gillis lasts 4 days until being fired for "racism."

GMAFB. It's jokes. A white comedian doing an exaggerated Asian voice is a joke. Calling Chinatown residents "chinks" during a comedy podcast is clearly an edgy joke. Gillis is right that comedians take risks and try out jokes in various venues outside of the mainstream. A comedy bit about Chinatown isn't automatically racism. Good grief. Social media acts like dude got caught on hidden camera going off on a Chinatown market owner for shorting him a pound of rice noodles and then calling him a chink in anger. Context must matter.

So much for the remake of Blazing Saddles I'd been hoping for!
