#CancelColbert is trending on twitter. Asians are really upset.
The great thing about liberalism is at some point in time their members will get offended, and then they will turn on one another. Its what happens when you unite people together by divisive means

For those of us who don't twitter, what did he say?

He was starting the ching chong ding dong foundation to be more sensitive to Asians . . .

Great chat... Thanks for the info

I haven't seen it, but I'll take a wild guess and say that this has something to do with the California Affirmative Action bullsh!t. Colbert probably made a lame attempt to mock the Asians who believe that they will get screwed by it.

I might tweet later just to voice my disapproval.

A lot of folks don't get Colbert and don't realize that he's really mocking right-wingers when pretends to mock minorities and women.

Nothing whatsoever will come of this.

Asians as a group aren't perpetual victims.
Outliers may be involved, its probably getting hijacked by a bunch of GOP loving Colbert haters.
eta: yep. The hashtag is a bunch of conservatives claiming it's hypocrisy to not be offended and then a bunch of liberals calling this conservatives stupid.
Found only 3 Asians on #CancelColbert and all 3 were in support of Colbert.

How dumb does one have to be to not realize this?

i doubt that happens, since apparently the whole blow up wasn't actually done by colbert but instead by a staffer.

You can't be really offended because of my wink and nod.
Who else can get the 'wink and not' pass, though? Criteria seems a bit nebulous.

Maybe a lot of braindead liberals don't get him. But, he's pretty damn transparent.

It was a quote from him on his Wed show. I would imagine the offended werent watching his show, or they would have been offended earlier in the week

Read the tweets. Its mostly people who dislike Democrats and probably just dislike Colbert already. Very few asians have come out as offended by Colbert.

This assumes anyone is ever really offended by any of this sort of shite. I contend that's a dubious assumption at best.

Two things:
First, trackfan is correct that Colbert is mocking right-wingers. What trackfan neglects to add is that Colbert UNFAIRLY mocks conservatives, because he is implying that racism and bigotry is rampant amongst those on the Right, and that is simply bullshite. Colbert is no better than some jerk like Bill Maher when he engages in that.
Secondly, Colbert will absolutely not receive the Duck Dynasty treatment. He is a liberal, and liberals rightly perceive him as such. He will be just fine.
This is no different from Joe Biden or Harry Reid describing Barack Obama as a clean, articulate Negro. They can say something stupid like that, but John Boehner would lose his career if he had said something similar.
It's all one big shell game, folks.
