    If they can find someone funny to be the "black republican" that might be worthwhile.

      Sava.

      Now if they hire someone non-white, everyone will know it was because of their race. BTW...I don't think I've ever heard concern expressed over a lack of diversity when it comes to non-white dominance. Maybe we should be checking out the racial demographics of the employees of Phat Farm...to ensure diversity.

          So, the letter's saying that America's only Black and White?

          That only WASPs, neurotic Jews, homosexuals, and black people can be funny?

          It name checks a lot of non-blacks as examples of serious news reporting, and yet, strangely, when it comes to the comedic side to add to the Daily Show, it only talks about black comedians.

          Why's that? Are Asians just not that funny?

            You didn't mention the latinos, you horrible, horrible bigot. Or does George Lopez suck as much as everyone says he does?

              The show's legion of black, Hispanic and Asian-American fans are waiting for correspondents who we can not only laugh at, but identify with through common experiences.


              Gotta stop this Asian-centric woe is us routine, Q^3.

                I would have replied with Margaret Cho........

                  Yeah, I thought of that as well . But using the article's words to prove he was totally incorrect was better.

                        I'd like to see something backing up the assertion that there are hordes of black, latino, and asian fans of the show. My guess is that they are overwhelmingly white.

                          That's true. All minorities are too stupid to get the Daily Show. Except Asians, but they should be busy building our railroads and running our corner stores anyway.

                            Why do you hate minorities?

                              Pfft. I will when Jesse Jackson stops this Black-centric woe is us routine.

                              And: George Lopez is painfully unfunny.

                              Margaret Cho is worse.

                                Actually, this is the first quote in the entire thread which I agree with.
