Pretty much this. Every watch comedy central? That Tosh guy always makes short, black, gay, and beyond jokes.
Maybe I am thinking to much on it but it pisses me off that this is okay for people to do. Specially if a famous person does it in the name of comedy. You would never see that Tosh dude walking the streets of the ghetto making fun of black people or walking through San Fran cracking gay jokes. He would be killed.
Like everyone else said, a huge part of comedy is making fun of people. It is a shame but we can all agree we all laughed at mean jokes directed at a certain race, gender, job, ect.
