It's like people don't remember that Jon Stewart had like five years doing blackface characters on Italian TV before the Daily Show.
That was before Twitter though.

The maxim you're apparently leaning on here is busted.
Being born mixed race in a particular geographic area with an apartheid government doesn't give him free reign to be a sexist ass. Which is what annoys me more than any of his remarks about Israel.

Let's not forget that half the time people are being shitty to _J_ for what their own words indicate they believe is a psychological condition.
I don't know if _J_ does or does not have a personality, social or empathy disorder but the way that people talk to and about him is shamefully hypocritical.
Happily, he seems not to care as we share similar views about what are appropriate things to make fun and what makes sense to be offended about.

"there's a lot of old jews in the entertainment industry" doesn't seem like the most heinous sentiment in the world
It can be tied to the old antisemitic thing about Jews running the banks and entertainment for nefarious purposes.
He probably didn't mean it that way but yes it can be construed to a very common and old antisemitic piece of rhetoric.
If you are going to make a joke about Israel (bad idea IMO) then you basically need to walk on eggshells about Jewish people. If you are making jokes about Jews AND Israel, you start to sound Anti-Semitic, and let's be honest. If yo feel compelled to make that many jokes about Jews and the Jewish state, you probably are at least a little anti-Semitic.
Am I going to say "What, no, that's wrong" and are you then going to hit me with Czar'd! Or some other new catchphrase for which I am as yet unprepared?
Now we'll never know.
As a comedian, I think the best approach is unwavering support for Israel, just to be safe. Maybe convert to Judiasm to see how it fits? Possibly marry a Jewish girl and raise a traditional Jewish family and relocate to Israel to not look biased? Maybe become a member of the Knesset and vote in favor of Israeli policy towards Palestine to show you are open minded towards the Jews? I'm not asking for too mych, I don't think.

I'm gonna be a nazi asshole and say that maybe Blackface is more offensive in the US than elsewhere because of the sociocultural implications of the act and not because of the act itself.
I mean, was there a huge institutionalized racist establishment in Europe? i'm asking because I don't know here.

Oh, I am not gonna be so bold as to ask for him to not get the post. I think the dude is funny, and honestly some of those jokes are funny too (some of them aren't but hey, strikes and gutters).
I am sure that TDS, Jon Stewart, etc. had already seen all of this. This is the show that catches people saying dumb shit 9 years ago and throws it in their face when they say something that day that goes against the dumb shit they said before. They research everything and using all forms of media to find stuff is kind of their gig. I am guessing they knew and decided none of this is so bad as to warrant it being a big deal.
If you want a good comedian in the chair, you have to accept the fact that they will probably have said some unsavory shit in the years building up their craft.

I'm disappointed in the guy for making those jokes, I don't like the jokes, and I now dislike the guy a little bit for being the type of guy who would make jokes like that. That's the end of my personal outrage.

Better Call Saul might be the best show on TV right now. It has managed to fill Breaking Bad's shoes with a character I had no real expectation of doing so.
I might even like Saul more than I ever liked Walt.
Walt became an asshole while I always kinda liked Saul no matter what
so yeah I agree with this
Walt was an asshole by like the 3rd episode, whenever the poor janitor got into some shit for his crap.

Walt is a character that you constantly waffle on. He has these badass moments that seem totally noble and then like 3 episodes later you realize that he's a sociopath until he seems at a real crossroads again. If I had to describe the show in a phrase, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions,"
I tried finding Mulaney's bit about his jewish girlfriend, but it's not on youtube so now I'm just watching his special
"You mean to tell me this guy gets off on little girls with pigtails?"
"Yeah Ice. He's a pedophile. You work in the sex crime division. You're gonna have to get used to that."
that's the best comedy special I've watched in years.

Oh hi _J_ when did you get unbanned?
haha, zing
Let's not forget that half the time people are being shitty to _J_ for what their own words indicate they believe is a psychological condition.
I don't know if _J_ does or does not have a personality, social or empathy disorder but the way that people talk to and about him is shamefully hypocritical.
Happily, he seems not to care as we share similar views about what are appropriate things to make fun and what makes sense to be offended about.
I actually PMed _J_ around Christmas when he thought he was getting banned but the paperwork hadn't been put in yet
We had a good discussion; I feel bad for the guy
His participation in chat notwithstanding - and chat is certainly a thing - I think the on topic DD threads are poorer without him. He was a good foil to a few other posters, some of whom rarely or never frequent chat.
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
Although I have to say, while I'd stop for a traffic barrel in the street, as soon as someone jumped out and ran at my car I'd just run that barrel over. It's not like "Well, barrel's still there, can't disobey the barrel."
