As we all know, recently, Tiger Woods, got into a car accident. All the “comedians” are trying to take advantage of this, and most of them have made terrible racist jokes about what happened.
It goes around the lines, of his black side bought the cadillac, and his asian side crashed it. To be specific, George Lopez, Wanda Sykes, and Jo Koy(Yes I know what your wonder, WHO THE HECK IS Jo Koy)
George and Wanda, make the joke, but you know what i can take a joke like that, because i know their just trying to make a living, and no one is watching their shows. Jo Koy, makes the same exact joke on E! which you know half the country is hooked on because America loves celebrities so much, that we can’t focus on what is actually worth while on focusing on.
Jo Koy, makes the same joke, however he takes it a step further and makes the mickey rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and makes that extremely racist face that was considered how all Asian people looked like in the 1900s. I was alright with his shitty stolen joke, but really? Are you that desperate as to make such a racist expression, the face he made, brings us back to the days of the Chinese Exclusion, the demonization of Asians, the yellow peril, and all that bullshit, that this Great country has done to persecute our people, because we believed in capitalism.

So i went on youtube, to see other material from this guy, and he has this other bit on asians being bad drivers, and a bit on Chinese people.
And that is when I got angry because of one line ” Chinese people just wake up and want to serve you and sew shit for you, for no reason”, Keep in mind he is Filipino American himself.
Here is my email to this asshole
Dear Jo,
I recently, watched a clip of you on E! Trying to poke fun at Tiger Woods crashing his car. When you stole the line from George Lopez and Wanda Sykes, about his Asian side coming out when he was driving. It was not funny, but I was fine with it, until you decided to make the EXTREMELY RACIST FACIAL EXPRESSION, like that of Mr. Yunioshi from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I thought being Asian, we have come a long way since this 1900′s Chinese Exclusion, yellow peril, false propaganda nonsense, however, obviously you think it is funny to make such racist jokes and faces. Think of how many people who saw your little clip, and will start making those faces when talking to their Asian friends because of your actions.
Furthermore, I watched your bits on Asians on youtube, and I did not find them funny either. They were not tasteful, and obviously if racism isn’t involved, your comedy sucks. For example, your bit on Chinese people, the line when you said, “Chinese people just wake up, and start sewing and serving you for no reason….” I am appalled by this. What do you mean Chinese people serve us for no reason! Chinese people have come to this country to work hard, so that they could give themselves, and their children a better life. They swallow their pride and work demeaning jobs, in hopes of one day achieving their American Dream. I would think a fellow Asian, would understand the struggle that our ancestors have gone through, and would understand you have pushed it too far. Maybe you’ve lost your pride or your identity, but I think you owe the Asian American community an apology for your horrible joke and faces. I just wanted to express my feelings to you on your terrible sense of humor, and hope in the future, you would make better jokes and not have to resort to racism to be funny, because all you are doing, is just spreading ignorance, the world has enough of that.
I don’t think it’s going to do much, but I just got soo frustrated, that i had to do something. I really can’t believe such ignorance. Angry GNR IS BACK
Man, that fucking goofy ass 1900′s generalized racist facial expression was just fucking unbelievable, so fucking distasteful.
You are a idiot… He is a comedian, and a extremely popular one at that. George Lopez and Wanda sykes are funny, but old, Koy is a new comedian who is going to take over their acts. That said, He is extremely funny and good hearted… The jokes he talks about are no more distasteful than most comedians out there and if you dont like his brand of comedy, simply dont watch it… I suggest you dont watch Lisa Lampenelli, because like Jo, they make jokes at others expenses, but its all in good fun and they make fun of themselves in return.
Lighten up, we all know its comedy.
Ok, so you give that nigger bitch and that wetback beaner a free pass but you lay into the asian stepinfetchit, makes a lot of sense, ya dumb twink.
I’m giving Jo Koy a problem about, because he is Asian-American. Why would he doing that if we have always been perpetuated to this stereotype? Your not looking at this from the angle of us Asian-Americans. Yes, it is also very offensive that the Wanda Sykes and George Lopez did it, but they did it sort of tastefully, nothing as far as making that damn mickey rooney face from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. That face has stigmatized us Asian Americans for a long time. So when an Asian-American does, it makes other people think, oh great, we can do it because the Asian’s doing it! So really, think about it, and if your going to call anyone a twinkie, leave your email, and we can discuss what you have done for the community lately.
