Patrice O’Neal on foreigners
Since we’ve been talking alot about immigrants lately on here - In one of my favorite stand-up sets ever, comedian Patrice O’Neal discusses his love for foreigners in America. Click here to download (3:12 - 2.8MB - requires XviD) This is NOT for those who are easily offended!
Or those with a sense of humour, wasnt really funny. What year is that?

2005 I believe.

And heh, I think that you may need to be an American to think it’s funny.

Yeah or have spent a lot of time there.
Either way, he’s right on target. I didn’t quite understand where he was coming from with the Hindu obstacle course at the airport thing. I think that i need to spend some time in other airports besides Bush Intercontinental in Houston.

Maybe, or maybe actually be a racist.
I know that stuff was tongue in cheek, I know he meant to offend and oftentimes that kind of humour really works for me. But really, “ibul dabl ibul”? If it was told by an upper-class British man in an Oxford accent it would be classed as incitement to racial hatred.

Heh, most definitely. But Patric O’Neal is black and in the U.S., it’s acceptable for minorities to make fun of other minorities.

I wonder what would happen if a standup comedian named Mr. Ibl Dabl Ibl Singh made prolific use of the word nigger. Would that still be acceptable?

Here is something ex-pat Fred Reed wrote some time ago about multiculturalism in USA:

It’s definitely thought-provoking.

Thought-provoking indeed. When claiming that “nice white people don’t know about gangs”, this klansman conveniently omitted some historical facts about how black LA gangs got started in the first place.

And the threat of “enstupidating” US schools was absolutely hilarious. Could they get any stupider?

The cracker made me do it, how convenient. Oh, of course, he must be a racist for actually saying out loud what everybody thinks. Well, I guess Shelby Steele is also a racist:

It’s amazing how any person questioning the PC status quo is automatically a libertarian reactionary, redneck hillbilly klansman or some other entity of low moral character. It must be comforting to live your life as a righteous robot spouting the party line.
Oh, by “this clansman” you actually meant yourself. Never mind, then.

Convenient or not, the “clubs” preceding the gangs were originally formed to protect blacks from the violence of the nice white people. This was definitely an eye-opener for me.

In at least 9 cases out of 10, they are. By the way, funny that you showed up around the same time someone started posting lengthy random excerpts from the English translation of Mein Kamp. You or a friend of yours?

Mein Kamp
Mein Kampf, before anyone gets to be the smart-alec.

Your astuteness and keen observational skills amaze me, along with your amazing capability of talking out of your ass. I’m sure it is one of your anonymous alter egos doing all the Mein Kampf quoting. I don’t have any need to hide behind an anonymous facade to say what I think. I can do it with my regular nick just fine.
You, mr. anonymous coward, are a pompous ass who tries to compensate for your intellectual inferiority by attacking other people’s convictions while lacking your own. You are an automaton, a mindless lackey of the PC establishment without an original thought in your head. You are the mouthpiece of all the useless social “scientists” who have no clue about real life, but only about an impossible academian utopia that does not exist.
Either that, or you’re a moron.
How’s that?
Best wishes,
Fat Bastard

I really would like to teach those my brother protestants a lesson out there in the red states because of their totally racist shit, like Fat Bastard so demostrated. Yes, we Finnish people are also very racist but hopefully not THAT much.

You say that like it’s a good thing…
And now you remind me of this, I’m not sure why but anyway:

It seems not only the Finns are xenophobic:

Quote: “Speaking of the hundreds of thousands of Central Americans who enter Mexico each year, chauffeur Arnulfo Hernandez, 57, said: “The ones who want to reach the United States, we should send them up there. But the ones who want to stay here, it’s usually for bad reasons, because they want to steal or do drugs.”"

Well, here’s a bit with Sam Kinison having a little similar thing in the beginning about buying cigarrettes…

I find it surprising he does not know anything about Finns,Swedes,and Russians. O’Neil is a good comic but not as good as Cosby.
