We’ve seen Dave handle issues of race and differences within races numerous times on the chappelle in a more nuanced manner
Like the black bush sketch.. or the trading spouses sketch.. or the black what supremacist

The only knock I have against this last special is you can see Dave waiting for the laughs. He’s better than THAT.

Dave is mostly catching heat simply because he made fun of poor whites. That's the forbidden sin. How dare a rich black man make fun of poor white people. It just shatters the whole superiority/inferiority indoctrination Western society likes to impose.

Don't see what was so bad about the content or execution of chinese man trapped in a black man's body joke.
Paralleled why he finds the concept of trans ppl thinking they're one thing trapped in a different body funny and ****** up. Same time made light of the whole Rachel Dolezal wanna be black situation without even having to mention her.

Blame the management. Once upon a time on NT you could get quite loose about other race, but if you went a little left about Asians, INSTANT DELETE.
IMO that was a bad impression of a bad impression. He sounded more like Tom Hardy’s Bane. I feel like if he really wanted to do an Asian stereotype, he could’ve executed better.

We really criticizing Dave's purposely crude stereotypical Asian impression? 
That so many ppl are focusing on that it was an Asian impression seems to be missing the entire point of Dave's comparison and why he said it was both funny and ****** up.

This! People just wanna selectively react to the shock factor but not the underlying message. He was just pointing out how funny it is and if he was a black dude who wanted to be chinese because he felt it insiiiide many people would laugh at and ridicule him. So why should the trans feel entitled to be bulletproof? He's very nuanced and in the know about the subject of trans people and that has reaffirmed it to me with each Netflix special he's put out. Especially with the Car bit about the LGBTQ people just like they did with Chappelle's show from back then always miss the point and the message.

It's Dave Chappelle though, 30 year comedian we know. I don't get folks acting like he's coming from a mean spirited place all of a sudden. Also he mentioned running that bit by his Asian wife that disproved, so it's not like he's unaware. He intentionally used a hammy, terrible stereotype to drive the point of the joke home but seems like folks still missed it to harp on how it could offend someone.
That's a poor excuse
What percentage of the current NT population was even posting back then?

That bit about him being able to say the N word and not being able to say the F word really speaks volumes. People picking and choosing what to be mad at. Type of people to point the finger but hate when it's being pointed back at you
Same people who were "offended" by that Asian impression, not only did they miss the point, they were probably laughing at his opening impression of the founding fathers, the alphabet people joke and so forth. Picking and choosing. I can laugh at you but you can't laugh at me

I’m more bothered by those who have and are now going use Dave as some sort of champion for their BS
As I said, we’ve seen Dave handle difficult issues before

The amount of alt-right people siding with him is honestly and using his bit as justification is alarming. He's not fighting for them mfs

I hear you but they were pieces of **** before and after the special, and will use anything.

Racist white people have been using his comedy wrong since the Chappelle Show. Nothing worth caring about. Your focus on the wrong thing if that's the issue

Kanye is a great example

Yeah, I have and just like his show from back them people are missing the message.

And there's nothing that can be done about that. People are going to use what he has to say for whatever they want to because they've been doing it.
