Notice To Just About Everyone Appearing on Comedy Central's Premium Blend
I don't care what race, religion, or ethnicity you have, stop playing the race card.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about how, "Aren't [insert ethnic group here] people goofy?", or, "Isn't it hard work being [insert race here]?"

In this day and age, you should be over it.

Tonight on Comedy Central, in one half hour show, we had a black comedian, followed by a white comedian, followed by a latino comedian, all going on about "Aren't you black folks cute?" To me this is all just embarrassing and shows that these comedians, and the people laughing at them, haven't progressed culturally in the past 40 years.

Maybe it's just me being European, but in Europe, we're just not so obsessed with pointing out to people what race they are, and calling it comedy.

I mean, there was (and to a very minor extent, still is) racism in Europe, but nothing like on the scale that seems to exist in the United States today. It certainly isn't the subject for an entire evening's comedy.

Sorry, maybe I'm being insensitive, but I just wish all these comedians, regardless of their race or ethnicity would come up with something original.

And don't bother telling me how much inequality there is out there, I know there is, and knowing that means I don't need 20 stand-up comedians reiterating the same point over and over. all evening. Move on. Please.

Dare I suggest that the cause of equality might be helped more by comedians raising the bar a little, with something a little more high-brow than, "This is how WE walk... This is how THEY walk" kind of humour?

Oh I'm sorry, I was forgetting where I was. Forget the high-brow... this is US television, and God forbid they'd stop treating people like they're idiots.
