They are not laughing at the character per se; the Ching Chong Ding Dong character is obviously an uncomfortably racist throwback to a bygone era. It's funny because Colbert (the character, not the person) is so oblivious to it being offensive. People are not laughing at Asians, they are laughing at the stupidity and lack of awareness of the archetype Colbert is playing. <br /><br /><i>If Colbert had come out in blackface and acted like a stereotypical black person (whatever that is supposed to be), you think people would have been okay with it?</i><br /><br />Yes and no. People who understand satire would be okay with it, which includes black people who understand satire. Hypersensitive social justice warriors would obviously not be okay with it.<br /><br />Colbert says politically incorrect stuff about blacks and Latinos all the time.: http://www.alternet.org/stephen-colbert-celebrates-stereotypes-end-black-history-month<br /><br />Not only that, he also says mean insensitive stuff about poor people, homosexuals, liberals, the disabled, and the elderly.

First of all, he is probably gay (I hope he is not reading this). Secondly, there is a long line of women who are willing, ready and able. Thirdly, Lee Min Ho is an object of my platonic desire so there is no chance of me ever getting physical with him. Sigh. <br /><br />In the mean time I definitely want someone who can make me laugh. Colbert's show is only 30 minutes long and there were 24 hours a day the last time I checked.<br /><br />True, it was on Monday. I am glad you liked it :)<br /><br />Let me reiterate: sometimes using bad words in the right context takes on another meaning. For example, the word "shibal". It can be used as a slur or ... just as a regular word. Same with "ching chong". Or "nig**". It is not the word per say, it is the use of it. You seem to think that "ching chong" is offensive on its own where ANY WORD can be offensive if you provide the right context for it. In fact, there is an example of the word "ching chong" that is NOT OFFENSIVE: <br /><br />"Using the racial slur "ching chong" when speaking to Asian people is very derogatory and offensive. Please refrain from using it". <br /><br />See my point?<br /><br />"Someone has to stand up against real or imagined injustice"??? Eh???<br />By analogy:<br /><br />Someone has to stand up against real or imagined enemies.<br />Someone has to stand up against real or imagined crimes.<br /><br />#borderlinepsychosis?<br /><br />If you noticed, he used the same line "Ching Chong Ding Dong" again on his show. He did not apologize for his word use on that segment. He apologized for America not being ready (read: too dumb) for his humor. <br /><br />#Colbertforeva<br />#Coreanmenfetish<br /><br />VBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803121458189359614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-90475856673153040482014-04-02T02:15:00.923-04:002014-04-02T02:15:00.923-04:00I'm not suggesting that it's *wrong* to tr...I'm not suggesting that it's *wrong* to treat the words differently; rather, I'm suggesting that the obvious sarcasm isn't quite the whole of the defense here. There's an additional premise that the "ching chong" imitation of the Chinese language is closer in magnitude to the term "redskin" than to certain other racial slurs or stereotypes. We seem to agree that this is currently the case, but what is that argument against Asian activists wanting to make it *not* be?jinrokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155470600628162027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-36761227167236498462014-04-01T22:12:34.201-04:002014-04-01T22:12:34.201-04:00VB:

When you're not making out with Lee Min Ho, I thought you'd want someone who can make you laugh.<br /><br />I watched Monday's Colbert Report. I thought it was very funny.<br /><br />I never said Colbert is racist. I think he's a good guy. Still, I don't think using "ching chong" as a gag is appropriate. And it doesn't matter whether it's being said by a racist, Colbert or even an Asian who says cavalierly it isn't offensive to him/her.<br /><br />I don't want to pile on Park but obviously she's in the grievance industry. It's depressing work but I suppose someone has to stand up against real or imagined injustice. Ironically, I will probably disagree with 90% of what she fights for but on this one I agree. <br /><br />I think Colbert went to great length to explain that he didn't mean to offend. I think the deletion of the official Colbert Report Twitter account was a small gesture of requital. I wouldn't be surprised to see the account back up in the future.GSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497631487656894980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-17569633578342503112014-04-01T19:16:19.226-04:002014-04-01T19:16:19.226-04:00Thanks!

But I appreciate your effort :) Kamsahamnida, cho-yn namja. <br /> <br />Actually, I made a joke about him being topless, I guess, I have been watching Colbert for too long and now I am being cynical, just as his character. <br /><br />You should watch Colbert's show today. He came up with a great response to Ms. Park. I laughed like crazy for the first three minutes. If you still think he is a racist, I hope today's episode will change your mind and helps to explain many things. Especially when Colbert "fired" the only Asian guy who worked for him. <br /><br />I feel bad that he deleted the Colbert Report Twitter account, but I guess he was hurt by the whole thing. Since he is totally anti-racist, he was probably very upset with the fact that so many people did not get the joke. <br /><br />Now, by the way, Ms. Park is unhappy that he used her official Twitter picture on his show because of the death threats. Well, if she was so scared, why did she even go on Zepps show? Her picture was out in the open on Twitter for at least four days, and Colbert only showed it for a split second. I guess she is one of those ladies who is just looking for some cause to fight, whether it is right or imaginary. Just today she came out with yet another tweet blaming Asian men. WTF???<br /><br />One good thing that came out of this whole ordeal is that people started to question what is a racially offensive joke and what is not. But I wish it would be done at the expense of some real racists, and not those people who fight racism, like Colbert. <br /><br />VBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803121458189359614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-42995247791978371002014-04-01T17:24:26.817-04:002014-04-01T17:24:26.817-04:00You're a woman?

There's no reason to besiege her when her motive is to call out bigotry against Asians, something that is too often tolerated. She's not Al Sharpton... at least not yet. And we're not at a point collectively where we are overly sensitive. If you disagree with her, vehemence is not necessary; just be patient and wait for the maelstrom to subside. The maelstrom in a twitter teapot.GSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497631487656894980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-81448803095134108782014-04-01T09:18:35.783-04:002014-04-01T09:18:35.783-04:00Here's an example of what I'm talking abou...Here's an example of what I'm talking about: https://twitter.com/suey_park/status/450862248454389760<br /><br />It's entirely possible for someone to think that she picked the wrong target in Colbert, AND be sympathetic to the death/rape threats she's gotten.

So when I have to explain some very obvious things (obvious to me at least) I get irritated. I want people to entertain me, not me entertaining everybody else.<br /><br />Don't worry, I am not going to ching chong or gook myself, because my TV boyfriend is Lee Min Ho <3 <3 <3 and I have a tiny (ok, huge) worship of Korean actors, actresses and... pretty much everything else Korean. So just to make sure I am very attuned to any racism or insensitivity towards Koreans.<br /><br />I think you are a fun guy, by the way, so if you write something entertaining/ interesting or provide a link to a topless picture of Lee Min Ho, I will be willing to write something nice back with gratitude. <br /><br />However, there is one requirement on my part: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you want to say anything negative about Colbert try to demonstrate some knowledge about his show first. If you would like, I can give you a test and if you pass I will give you permission to write anything you want about him. But if you don't get his humor, why writing nonsense? I only hate two things in life: when people say things they no nothing about and when people are racists. Colbert is no racist, trust me.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />VBVBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803121458189359614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-83035951324003216362014-04-01T03:17:39.594-04:002014-04-01T03:17:39.594-04:00VB:

You act like I insulted your TV boyfriend or something. <br /><br />Anyways, good luck "ching chonging" and "gooking" yourself. The humiliation and self-flaggelation must feel very satisfying in a weird, pitiful sort of way.<br /><br />And as the FLOTUS would say: Y'all knuckleheads!GSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497631487656894980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-17879202628955227052014-04-01T01:04:24.228-04:002014-04-01T01:04:24.228-04:00GST:

Once again, you did not get Colbert's joke.<br /><br />And "bunch of bul... gogi" is not a fresh and clever joke, it is a very simple joke that requires background knowledge. By the way, only two people in Colbert's audience laughed at his bulgogi joke, so he remarked along the lines that some people go to Korean restaurants.<br /><br />Ching-chong and Asian names jokes are NOT FUNNY. But the way Colbert presents his jokes in context is REALLY FUNNY, you just do not get his jokes because they are too complicated for you. Stop being hung up on the Ching-chong part and see beyond those two words. <br /><br />2. Your jokes would go over fine if Colbert would use them in a different context.<br /><br />3. "The irony is, even if Colbert is playing a right-wing racist who tries to get away with racism by only going up to the edge" WRONG. <br />Colbert is playing a democrat playing right-wing buffoon conveying anti-racist messages. But you will never be able to grasp that.<br /><br />4. You are an ignorant idiot on so many levels, it is too boring to even reply to your "lower race" claims.<br /><br />VBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803121458189359614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-3079775812663606022014-03-31T15:46:00.028-04:002014-03-31T15:46:00.028-04:00CJL:

But I also do not like the way some dissenters have reacted, such as Daniel Chun who wrote, "Asians, this is your leader speaking. Stand down." This is not constructive dialog.<br /><br />In the end, not only has this become a farce, but so has Asian Americans. The result will be that in future, more people will be able to insult Asians with even greater sense of impunity.<br /><br />I think you know it's become bizarro world when even the guy from Angry Asian Man gives his whiny seal of approval to "ching chong" humor. True farce.GSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497631487656894980noreply@blogger.com
