there's a real interesting twist to all of this roseanne stuff this week. wanda sykes, who quit her job on the show just minutes/hours before abc pulled the plug on it, is on video talking about trump being an orangutan. so is jimmy kimmel (kimmel kept his job). so is bill mahrer (mahrer kept his job, too). curious as to why there's no backlash against them.

and let me go on record as saying that what roseanne did was stupid and terrible and she deserved to be fired for being an idiot. does that same standard, however, also apply to others in her profession?

I think it's because calling a white person an "orangutan" doesn't have obvious racial undertones, but calling an African-American an "ape" does have racial baggage.

He's called an orangutan because he's an orange primate who plays with his own feces.

Agreed. This is especially true when set against the background that is the long and storied history of racism against white people being expressed via comparison to primates.

fair enough.

Apparently racism only exists if it’s accompanied by a long and storied history.

I'm not sure that MAGA will appreciate you calling the President a tard, but I agree.
