Tony Hinchcliffe-- Another Racist Magat "Comedian"

What is your point? Just spit it out.
That we see racism when the alleged aggrieved group happens to be a historically discriminated-against group, when that fact may have nothing to do with the statement or joke.

In the comedians eyes, PR may be a floating island of garbage WITHOUT him even thinking or believing it has anything to do with the ethnicity of those living there.

(I was going to use Oahu (Honolulu) as the Hawaiian island example, because many say that island is dirty (never been there) but felt Maui was just better known).
 
Comedian did not call human beings garbage. He said the island was floating garbage. The island could be full of non-human garbage, right?
Do you seriously think that's what he meant? Why would voters in NY care whether Puerto Rico if full of non human garbage? If a foreign leader joked about the US being floating garbage would you think they were talking about trash?

You think he was talking about litter? Come on.

I think it’s a comedian being a comedian. Stupid to have that guy on at a political rally.

Unfortunately, though, I think the uproar over Hinchcliffe is taking the focus away from the overall dark and nasty tone of the rally.

Here’s the thing - at a comedy show I’d get your argument. Still think it’s a bad joke but whatever.

But this was at a political rally, where he had to run his material past the trump campaign. THATS the problem because it’s creating the impression that they’re okay with calling an island full of Americans garbage.
 
Also, why would it be racist to call PR a floating island of garbage, but not (you answered “no”) Long Islsnd? Or Maui?
I misread your question at first. I thought you were asking if it would be funny if the islands were switched. PR is 99% Latino which I'm sure you will point out is not a race, however, it is a minority under constant attack by MAGA.

Yes, they were talking about trash...

How do you know Hinchcliffe wasn’t just being critical of Puerto Rico’s failure to implement a comprehensive waste management and recycling program?

Sure they were.

Can your point to Trump's plans for improving waste management? I can point to Trump's description of immigrants as garbage.

"They unleashed an army of migrant gangs waging a campaign of violence,” said Trump, who regularly uses dehumanizing language when he talks about undocumented immigrants. “We're a dumping ground. We're like a garbage can for the world.”

I don't know that Trump has a plan for improving waste management in Puerto Rico,.. This was a comedian who rips on everyone, ripping on Puerto Rico's inability to deal with their waste issue,... What's your point?

You might as well be explaining the Socratic method to an orangutan.

Someone that stupid will never get it.

Best move on.

What a surprise, a comedy routine that has racist jokes delivered at political rally wasn't received well nor a good idea... Shocker. Another bad idea approved by the trump people that turned out bad.
It's as if Trump isn't fit to be president. If you edit out calling her the C word but let him do his routine anyway you don't make good decisions.

Right after he told the joke about carving a watermelon for Halloween with his black friend. But the joke about Puerto Rico was about landfills.

You must be pretty limber with all the gymnastics you're doing to defend this
 
You two can't possibly be this dumb. We get it's comedy but whoever thought this was a good idea 7 days before the election is incompetent. Trump has a history of putting bad people center stage. His plan to not vet out his team via background checks if he wins is scary.

The point is we’re not talking about his material for a comedy special. This was stuff that was vetted by the Trump campaign, where he spoke at a Trump rally.

There was more trash in the building that night than Puerto Rico has ever seen.

You are too stupid to insult. Good lord.
