Whenever a comedian does stand up there is one thing they all have in common. They all have a distinct voice for different races. Probably the most famous from recently is Dave Chappele's white voice. Every race has a distinct voice and every comedian seems to follow the same voices. Is this a big problem or not? They are all very exaggerated an maybe a little over the line but isn't that what comedy about, pushing the limits to test peoples boundaries? I personally do not think there is anything wrong with it but I have heard on occasion, complaints from people saying that it went to far. I think it really does just depend on how easily you get offended. Comedians seem to be trying to get that shock factor now or that is how they truly hear people. Maybe that is why people laugh, because they are accurate. It is just an example of perspective and what you find funny.
I think this is a great example of another way people distinguish different races. Even though it's a little over the top, Dave does a good job at showing what we can mutually agree on.
