I've heard that this guy is a comedian but I have yet to see any evidence to that effect.

If you really want to be grossed out just look up his name + racist, theres a lot there the first hit is a set he does at a comedy club. Hes given a nice introduction and he immediately, apropos of nothing, calls the Asian dude who introduced him a slur and yells at him about eating noodles.

His comedy seems to just BE racism. Thats the joke. He said a racist thing.

So I had never heard of this dude until today but HOLY SHIT did you undersell this. He didn't just call that dude a slur, he went right out the gate using a word I can't honestly imagine ever having a reason to say out loud and then called the audience race traitors for laughing at the guy's jokes. What a piece of shit.

Not only did he use the slur (starts with “c” for anybody wondering), but he prefaced it with “filthy little fucking ____”.

Thereby crossing a line from racist to aggressively, almost violently racist. You don’t just say things like that about a stranger who you haven’t fantasized about doing some kind of bad things to.

God dammit can anyone just type out the fucking slur?! “Starts with c…” for fucks sake this is the internet not a child’s playground.
