I don’t have to click on the link because I am a fan of free speech comedy where almost no joke goes to far, but playing the white devil’s advocate. What if this joke wasn’t about Cajuns but another minority group?
They would be ready to throw him in Free Speech Jail. They would force all the scheduled venues and force them to cancel. Then they would force to apologize. Even after apologizing he would be essentially banned on the comedy circuit.
Some people just need to lighten up it is only comedy. And comedy is a two way street, we just need a few more brave conservative comics launching some comedic salvos back at the liberals.

So some guy asks him if he’s a Segura from Da Berry, and he turns it into a not-all-that-funny joke.

I don’t get the butthurt.

If it was funny and true, nobody would care. The problem is, this bit isn't even funny.

That was mildly entertaining. I look forward to him offering his observations on black and Hispanic people next. He may just want to work his way through all groups. Maybe he could start with the LBTGHQ'ers.

Once he works his way across the board, he can be wildly popular and wealthy.

It doesn’t matter to me what he says but imagine the uproar if he made the same jokes about Mexican Americans. There would be mayhem in the streets on college campuses across the country.

If you can laugh at any joke about another group of people but get offended when a joke is pointed at you, you are a snowflake pussy that has no sense of humor.

So he virtue signals and acts like some holier than thou while he secretly jerks off in front of women?

At least get the basis of the joke correct. It wasn't an encounter that he had while in Lafayette. It was joke/story about someone he met from Lafayette. Comedians make shite up all the time to tell a topical joke, at least this joke wasn't completely made up


See this is not true. Tom did a show at JP’s bar in Lafayette about 3-4 years ago. After the show, a drunk baw cornered him and wouldn’t stop talking. This is the basis of the joke.
