Canada is experiencing a national freakout because a based New Jersey Jew comedian went there to insult their Indian population.
I can’t even read these articles where they refer to Indians as “First Nation” without laughing – this is more than enough of a reason to publicly racially humiliate them.
Spoiler alert: 1,000 words into the article, you find out the reason he insulted the Indians was that they were loudly interrupting the show, meaning it was literally Kramer at the laugh factory*. If you only read the first few paragraphs, you’d think he just started racially insulting the Indians for no reason (which, frankly, would have been funnier).
An Ojibway woman says she was among at least 30 people who walked out of Rumor’s Comedy Club in Winnipeg on Friday due to a number of racist and homophobic comments they heard from the stage.
Kelsey Lenaghan says she was almost immediately turned off by comedian Rich Vos’s set, which included what she called targeted harassment toward a table of Indigenous women.
“One of the things he said was, ‘Listen, lady, I’m not your sponsor. You need to go to your next AA meeting.’ … He was making a joke about a talent show and saying that, you know, these ladies would likely come up and make dreamcatchers,” she said.
The American comedian also made a joke about hoping the women would get ticketed for driving under the influence on the way home, she recalled, which perpetuated offensive stereotypes.
Lenaghan, who is from Pinaymootang First Nation, says the table of women left in the middle of his tirade, and she left the club to follow them to make sure they were OK. When she reached them, she said they were upset.
“Why can’t we be able to come out for a fun night out without our Indigeneity being brought up β without that being the centre of his jokes and attacks?” Lenaghan said. “To see my sisters and my relatives to be treated in this way, you get this sense of protection.”
Sounds to me like you got felted.
Crying like this is ridiculous. You’d think the man threw trash in the road, the way they carry on.
This just goes on and on with the whining about their childlike emotions.
Let’s skip ahead a bit here…
Mark Turner, who was sitting at a table with Lenaghan, says he felt uncomfortable throughout Vos’s set, including when the comedian used the word “gay” in a derogatory sense, but didn’t want to make a scene because he was at a birthday party.
However he said everyone in his party eventually reached a breaking point.
“The one that he said that caused our table to go, ‘Right, that’s it. We’ve had enough’ and stand up and walk out in unison was he said, ‘They should all go back to their f—— wigwam,'” Turner said, adding that particular comment was made toward the group of Indigenous women after they had walked out.
“It was very clearly racist and nobody was really laughing. It just felt like full on racial attacks, especially against the Indigenous community.”
It’s funnier if no one was laughing, actually.
Tyler Schultz, the club’s general manager and booker, says he was there for Vos’s set that evening and confirmed he heard some of the racist comments toward the Indigenous women.
Schultz said he saw Vos becoming frustrated with them, as Schultz says the women were being loud and disrupting the show.
Yeah, there you go. That’s paragraph #16.
Imagine that this is a scandal.
I love how even though more than 30 people walked out, and the show established to be racist, @RumorsComedyβs GM, Tyler Schultz, negatively constructs the Indigenous women, who insulted and harmed, as the ones being disruptive and loud.
Cool, cool. https://t.co/mI3jrBCGVV

I mean, of course it’s a scandal. Everything is a scandal now, and this guy’s life is clearly destroyed. You’ve got these Ukraine flag people everywhere now.
Not good enough. Should have stopped the show and fired his ass on the spot. Real proud of yourself @RichVos? Stay the fuck in the US you racist pig. #fuckracism

You can’t beat them.
Or hey, who knows – maybe he can make a career out of racial abuse.
I just watched this clip of him talking about how his wife eats apples too loudly, and it was not funny at all.
I dont know how she does it. Check out the FULL lost special and episodes of My Wife Hates Me at https://t.co/jJbPcpA5A9 pic.twitter.com/Pf5iFqTxoZ

I’m thinking he could definitely get a bigger fanbase by just going in and racially abusing the audience.
I read the guy’s Wikipedia and he’s been doing this for decades and no one knows who he is because foul-mouthed jokes about loud apple eating are very hard to pull off and he can’t do it.
It looks like he used to do racist jokes. Here’s a clip from the Obama era where he’s making black jokes in front of an audience of blacks, and there’s not a problem.
Then everyone got all faggy, so he had to start doing apples.
*”Kramer at the Laugh Factory” is an event in 2006 where Michael Richards, who played the character of Kramer on Seinfeld, was performing a set and black people were being too loud so he started screaming at them, calling them niggers.
He then gave an apology on David Letterman and everyone was laughing at him. For some reason he didn’t go into the show and Skyped (?) in. Jerry helped him. Or set him up to turn it into a comedy bit. It was a really weird scene. In many ways much funnier than the freakout scene.
It wasn’t good for his career. He had to resign from being a comedian in his mid-50s and didn’t ever really work again.
