I saw a comedian tell a story once about performing at a college. He was supposed to perform at the college a few nights in a row. On the first night, one of his jokes was about going to a Chinese restaurant that only had chopsticks, no forks. After the performance, the guy who’d hired him came up to him and told him he was fired. Apparently some Chinese students had complained. When the comedian asked what he’d said that was so wrong, he was told, “You said forks are better than chopsticks.” For this, some Chinese students made a point to complain about the guy and demand he be fired!
There was a little girl comedian on America’s Got Talent last season who made fun of Trump and expressed her desire that Hillary would win the election. Howie Mandel told her, “I guess Republicans won’t vote for you.” And she did get voted off.
That was a just dumb kid, but I don’t know why comedians of all ages don’t realize that they’re cutting their audience in half. There’s a way to do political humor where both sides will laugh at it. The comedians of the past used to manage it. Today the hatred of Republicans/conservatives/men is just too strong. Celebrities, businesses, etc. seem happy to lose money just for the satisfaction of bashing those they hate.
It wasn’t the cheese student who was the worst part, it was the owner who fired the comedian. People have to stand up and tell snowflakes and PCers, STFU.
