Is Dave Chapelle racist? Could a white guy get away with what he does?

Question

DO you think there is a double standard?

Answer 1

of course a white guy couldnt get away with what dave chapelle did. when somebody of their own kind makes fun of them(not all the time, u can go TOO far), they think its funny and they laugh, but if ur an outsider and make fun of other people, it is usually considered racist.

example: asian person making fun of an asian for being chinky eyed. Okay

hispanic person making fun of an asian for being chinky eyed. not okay

Answer 2

A white guy would never even dream of doing what Chapelle does. There is a double standard.

Answer 3

i highly doubt dave is racists and it's just joke i don't feel offended when i see a white person making jokes it's just the history white people have it's just seen as racist in this country but i love when dave talks about whites because it's so true

Answer 4

we definately could not get away with any of it. what about carlos mencina we could not pulled that crap either. yes double standards but i still love both of them no take that back i like carlos and i love chapelle.we cant even say n i g g e r .

Answer 5

I think Dave Chappelle is smart, what he does has nothing to do with racism...He speaks about injustice in america, and turn it into ridicule. "The blind Black KKK leader" is my favorite one, "the Celebrity Draft" is another one.

Answer 6

Maybe, but I don't think anyone of any color should get offended by a comedian, unless of course the comedian put them to sleep.

Answer 7

No, we couldn't get away with it. Minorities can get away with a lot of things that the majority can't.

Answer 8

Wa wa wa wa!

Get a grip...
