A lot of Cajuns are upset with the latest Netflix special from comedian Tom Segura. Segura’s latest standup special, “Disgraceful” describes his comedy as “bearded, bawty, and bitter,” but some South Louisianian’s are describing it as straight up rude. The reason? A joke he told about an encounter he had while visiting Lafayette, LA Read More: Tom Segura Joke About 'Cajun People' Offends Actual Cajun People | LINK

Born and raised here and not offended at all...thought it was funny. I mean we all have those cousins we see once every couple years....BESIDES, he doing a comedy show not a documentary....if it doesn’t have shock value or inappropriate in some form or fashion....would it even be funny???? All the jokes about taking a shite have been done....it was creative and at least kind of true!

Would be pretty ironic if the O-T, land where no one has a right to be offended by anything, was offended by this.

People are so fickle. They laugh at all other jokes then get offended by another.

It's a JOKE!!! Don't take everything seriously.

If this is true, these "upset" coonasses sound exactly like the people they chastise for being pussy snowflakes, so I'm going to say this is fake news.

I think the town 20 miles south of Lafayette that he was referring to is New Iberia. Buncha Seguras around there.

We in Lafayette have been trying to build a wall around Da Berry for years. Tom knows our struggle now.

I don’t think anyone in LA outside of Laffy is opposed to a wall around Laffy

I'd laugh if it was funny. But it wasn't funny.

I wonder how many of the people griping about the joke don’t think twice about posting an article to Facebook about liberals making an outrageous claim as to why something offended them captioned with “yadda yadda snowflakes!!”

poor man's Louis CK. Acts just like him, talks just like him, looks just like him. But not as funny.
