We Get It Already, Blasians Can’t Drive Escalades
As Gawker aptly pointed out yesterday, nearly every hack comedian in America managed a take on this setup: “Blasian Tiger Woods crashes his Escalade.”
There are many versions, but the joke goes something like this:
Tiger Woods crashed his Escalade yesterday!
Well you know, he’s Black and Asian [pause for yuks].
And of course… the Black part of him bought the Cadillac [insert ghetto grin] and the Asian part of him was driving [insert buck teef]!

Surprisingly, though, not one comedian seemed to find a way to make the “joke” funny. ZzZZZzzZzzZZZzZzzzzzZzzzz.

Sadly as a blasian that can’t drive these jokes are nothing new to me. I don’t think that people were concentrated on his bad driving and more on his bad marriage…
Ick! Ick! Ick!
I caught Lopez making a tired Indians-drive-cabs joke about the Prime Minister of India last week. The audience ate that one up too. Yuk, yuk.
And Wanda Sykes always does Asian jokes. I remember a couple of years ago she was a guest on The Daily Show, of all places, and began her interview talking about how uptight Chinese people are. For like, no reason, it was just really on her mind.
You notice that a lot with comedians who are in some way minorities themselves, be it by race or gender. To distract from their own “otherness” as a minority, they focus the audience on beating up on ANOTHER minority instead. That minority is often Asians, who are the most disadvantaged and poorly represented in terms of popular culture.
I guess that’s why Sykes, as a black comic, and as a lesbian, and as an unfunny b*tch, goes for the Asian jokes so much.
does anyone actually care what the national enquirer prints on their paper? was there ever a point in the history of the universe that they had a shred of credibility?
C’mon, George Lopez? That dude is trying so hard to be edgy after years of sitcom banality. Really, the only funny Mexican comic is the bee man on Telemundo and I don’t even know what he’s talkin’ about.
@prometheus I had a biology professor who said he wished there was a shoot outside of every grocery store. Anyone who exited carrying a National Enquirer would be sucked down the shoot and lost forever. He then triumphantly yelled, “Now THAT’s natural selection!”
*Face Palm*
AS AN ASIAN AMERICAN MAN,I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THESE RACIST STEREOTYPE ABOUT ASIANS! WE TOO CAN DRIVE; THE JOKE ITSELF IS NOT EVEN FUNNY TO START WITH. TO SAY THAT ASIANS CAN’T DRIVE IS LIKE SAYING…
oh fuck!!! I just crash my SUV while typing this on my blackberry -_-
