Has anyone seen Tom Segura's current tour? Saw him in Denver last night, love his stand up but damn did he talk some shite about Cajuns. He said we should build a wall around the State of Louisiana instead of Mexico and that Cajuns are the dumbest, poorest and trashiest people in the United States.

He just kept going in on Cajuns probably spent around 5 minutes straight talking shite. Talking about how Cajuns smoke with babies in the car and that because they're poor they must have Bibles and be Christians too. I dont remember everything he said because I was lit but it felt like it was the focal point of his show. I'm not from Louisiana and have no family there so no skin off my back but all I could think about was isnt this guy from fricking Ohio? Were any OTers at the show last night? Never heard anyone talk that much shite about the good people of Louisiana. I realize that it was a comedy show and I have no connections to Louisiana but the shite he was saying was cringe worthy.

he does the same bit on his Netflix special. After about a minute of it, I turned him off.

He should be careful. If someone tells them they can make money hunting Toms, they will nearly put the extinct on them like they did the gators.

Eh, we make fun of Florida people all the time.

If you ever spent time in places like Mamou or Crowley, you'd probably see what he's talking about.

He has probably ramped it up since so many cajuns got all pissy and offended.

You may not think it is funny but it is a comedy bit, just relax.

I haven't heard his current stuff on cajuns but his bit on Louisiana from one of his previous specials is absolutely hilarious.

It started when he made a joke or two about Louisiana a few years ago. Did the “build a wall” around Louisiana bit. People got mad and sent him emails so he doubled down on it.

It’s comedy. Not real life.

Also, i’ve seen him rock an LSU sweatshirt on his show a few times.

what a sensitive little snowflake. He’s said in his podcast that he has roots in Louisiana and actually loves coming here. He does the bit to get this exact reaction.

This. Cajuns are supposedly so fun and full of life, and yet they get so pissy when someone makes a funny joke. And their reasoning is, "you can't make fun of us if you ain't one of us" and that's complete bullshite. Guaranteed that everyone offended by those jokes have laughed at jokes about another race, religion, country, etc.

Listen to his podcast and he rips on his own State constantly.

Cajuns are an acceptable target for chickenshit comedians. Does he do minorities?

I have no problems with cajun jokes. I do have a problem with people that cant laugh at themselves.
