re: The cancel culture is now going after Jimmy Fallon

Fallon is pretty good at impersonations. His Neil Young is spot on. He wears a wig and plays the guitar. Both he and Young have white skin so he doesn’t need to change anything there.
The Chris Rock impersonation kinda needs to include darkened skin.... Because.... well... Chris Rock has dark skin. Heck, I’d venture a guess that if you asked Chris Rock, he’d be happy to confirm that his skin was black.
Oh, and every impersonation I’ve seen of Obama has been with dark skin. Snl originally had Fred Armisen darken his skin to do it but then they hired a dark skinned actor to do it.
I always thought they should have had Kenan Thompson do it just because he has dark skin but in no other way resembles Obama- now THAT is funny on many levels!
So we’re just sinking into a PC hellhole filled with shards of glass to keep everyone walking delicately around simple subjects for fear of cutting themselves to pieces and bleeding to death. Comedy should have no barriers imo. The viewer or listener is in charge of their own taste. No need to filter it for us.
Shame really. I bet Chris Rock isn’t offended and really... he’s the only one that matters in this whole thing.
