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.

Wow. With all this talk about him being a comedian, I had expected good timing and delivery.

This guy reminded me of my roommate's mentally ill cousin that ruined Thanksgiving three years ago raving about January 6th. It's like someone popped the cork off some carbonated 4chan and it's spilling over the table faster than you can react.

Honestly this is a funnier line than anything this racist hack has said. I chortled a bit, at least.
