Plus, he speaks so well.

This joke is never not funny because it can't be made as a joke without full recognition of how stupid it is to say.

But, I decided not to be such a pussy. If you're offended and decide I'm being a racist, I'm sorry but I'll add it to the list of posts on this subject that you are taking as an attack when they are not.

I am not offended. I was confused when you said, "So.... his culture and background may have influenced his comedy, in a way that may or may not translate well to the Daily Show? Huh, who would have guessed?" Considering the fact that I was pointing out his background in that very same post and your random conversation with Sebby about how his fat jokes, Jewish jokes, and violence against women jokes may go over well with a South African crowd* because they may have a different sense of humor, it sure seemed like you were being a dick.

On the second, see my last post, I was watching his videos while you were writing it. It's like ray-ay-aynnnn, on your wedding day! (I also read the article you posted, and was jokingly noting that it made --- much more eloquently -- a point I was trying to make. I thought it was obvious that I at least read the article, but apparently not.)
eta: If you get all angry at me about this post, I will either give up completely, or try to copy your non-adversarial, non-dickish tone. I'm trying to have a discussion, not an argument, but for some reason that doesn't seem possible with you, on this particular topic.

We are clearly talking past each other, because you seem to be repeating my exact thoughts about your posts back to me.
Kumbafuckinya, homie.

*Yeah. Maybe this wasn't your point, but given how this conversation evolved, I plead extreme confusion.
