Have a sense of humor. It leaves a happy memory.<br /><br /><i>"what's a matter? You don't speak English??</i><br /><br />That's probably where he went into his hipster racist routine. He's trying to flirt with her (badly), start a conversation, get people laughing. If they were in the middle of a conversation, and she was speaking English, he might have thought that was funny. It's an invitation to her to have a conversation. Say something! Among other things, he's pretending to be an Italian immigrant ("what's a matter?") who is speaking English badly. That may or may not be funny. But why suffer in silence, let it fester for 10 years, and then serve your vengeance cold on twitter? "Today's the day I destroy David Cross for making fun of my pants."

And he said, a little defensive, "well, at least I don't have a hole in my shirt."<br /><br />10 minutes later, I'm listening to my professor, and I'm grinning like a madman. And my professor stops his lecture and says, "okay, I have to ask, Carmichael, what's so funny?"<br /><br />"I was thinking about my shirt."<br /><br />And I look back at the Cuban with the beret and a couple of girls and we all start cracking up.

It's like she's accusing him of going around mocking the homeless. You can afford pants without holes in them, actress girl. I have been living in this country for 50 years. I have volunteered in homeless shelter. I have been in public schools, in private schools, in art schools, in law school, in various workplaces, in gas stations and barber shops and grocery stores. The assumption that everyone makes in our society--unless the context is completely different--is that holes in the clothes is a fashion choice, not an economic distress signal. <br /><br />When I was in law school I had a polo with a hole in it. One of my law professors teased me about it and stuck her finger in the hole. I still have several jeans with holes in them, and at least one or two shirts. I may or may not be a fashion disaster, but if I start crying that people are making fun of me because I can't afford normal clothes, may the Lord send a thunderclap to warn me about my hypocrisy. <br /><br />Fashion choice, not poverty. 1000 to 1. And I know what it's like to be a struggling artist. Been there, done that. You can afford pants without holes in them.Saint Croixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876368500159112781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82294659137613664232017-10-20T00:38:56.369-05:002017-10-20T00:38:56.369-05:00I did enjoy the "hot ham water" link.

So Cross and his wife have been vocal #Me Too supporters and it's in that context (cross being outspokenly Leftist) that this accusation of Cross being offensively racist comes out.<br /><br />Mr. Show is one of the funniest sketch comedies ever. Cross has a character Ronnie Dobbs that's a standard white trash redneck, and made a movie Run Ronnie Run using that character. Like lots of successful comedians from the south he spends a lot of time...shitting on the south in cheap ways. he's a pretty standard lefty asshole on Twitter. For that reason alone i think it's good that he gets a taste of his own medicine.<br /><br />I can't really feel hate for the guy, though, considering how important his comedy was to my formative years. Even his early stand up is pretty solid. I think I had as a sig line in an old forum "fore I die, I'm gon’ fuck me a fish."<br /><br /> Eh. Maybe lefty entertainers will learn the downside of unleashing the PC mobs and be less willing to do it themselves in the future.

They wouldn't carry them just for aesthetic purposes. They're not trying to impress people with their porn collection, you know. So, it's just a matter of economics...Apparently enough people are goin' in there goin' 'Oh, whoa... All right! The worlds filthiest ball-draining cum-mag! Right on! This ought to make the flight a little more tolerable. Alright. Oh shit! Ha Ha! Page 35: Puckering virgin assholes - alright I gotta get it. Hope nobody is sitting next to me on the plane, because they're in for a rude awakening. Cause I'm gonna be spankin' it!' Ah, it's weird. I'm not knocking porn, I love porn... but when I go to the airport I don't have to buy those magazines, because I have this thing called will power. And I utilize it so that I don't have to whip my dick out in public. I can wait five hours. At least until I'm in the cab on my way home.<br /><br /><br />So at the CES, there was a guy selling off this porno called Fuck My Dirty Shithole: The Movie.

Hipsters in my mind were more categorized by people who were striving to always find the hidden, special, unique, authentic experience. They are the people who would love to brag about how they know this special little hole in the wall restaurant that serves 'the real' Ethiopian food, but it only works if you know what to ask for that is off the menu. It is a similar motivation to why some people like certain luxury products or services. To some people the high price of a luxury product is a good quality of the product in itself. It means that not many people can get the product, which lets the purchaser of the product believe that they are part of special, select group of people that get that experience. This is the emotional itch that Hipsters are scratching when brag about their little hole in the wall restaurant.<br /><br />I think what people called Hipster racism, was just some people acknowledging that some racist humor can actually be funny but it had become completely taboo to engage in it, so they pretended like they were acting as another type of person to avoid the censure. I don't know if Lisa Lampenelli still does performances, but Mel Brooks has commented that Blazing Saddles could not be made today. And both can be pretty funny.
