Charlyne Yi Accuses David Cross of Racist Behavior
New York Post ^ | October 18, 2017 | Jessica Sager

Comedian and writer Charlyne Yi accused David Cross of directing racist comments towards her — but he has no recollection of the incident.

“I think about the first time I met David Cross ten years ago & he made fun of my pants (that were tattered because I was poor),” Yi, 31, tweeted Sunday. “Dumbfounded I stared at him speechless and he said to me ‘what’s a matter? You don’t speak English?? Ching-chong-ching-chong.'”

“Then after he saw I was offended he asked me if I was going to fight with him karate in a southern accent,” she continued. “Then a few years later he was re-introduced to me after my comedy show with his girlfriend at the time & he said ‘Hi nice to meet you.’ ”

Looked her up at the time, and was noted as a lesbian activist.

I'm going to assume you mean her, not you.

Maybe, maybe not. It certainly wouldn't surprise anybody.

But everybody in Hollywood qualifies as a gay activist in somebody's book because they're all for gay stuff.

The things that piss people off these days. They would all be in a mental institution if they had grown up in the 50’s like I did. I thank the good Lord everyday that I got to spend most of my life before it became so tedious on the earth.

Being a teen in the late 50’s and early 60’s was the best.
