"Asians in Media" Talk by Natalie Tran, aka communitychannel

ChaosEngine says...

Great talk. I love Nat, she's genuinely funny.

I have to say that it surprises me to hear her refer to "Asians" as a single group. There are massive cultural differences between Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Thais, etc. No-one refers to Germans, French, Italians and English as "Europeans".

I also don't really think there's anything wrong with making fun of your culture. Many of my favourite comedians do that all the time (Dylan Moran and Billy Connolly for example). There's a world of difference between recognising and laughing at your own cultural quirks and making racist stereotype jokes.

Pretty much this. Swearing can be really funny. Billy Connolly and Jim Jeffries are both excellent at swearing, but this just feels like the most boring boorish 80s humour.

It's just not that funny.

I never really got this whole thing. I mean I guess I get the swearing part of it, but he's no Lenny Bruce in terms of breaking down barriers. Nor is he as funny.

Although, maybe that's it. He wasn't as funny.

Ever since hearing that bit by another comedian about how anything sounds funny with a Scottish accent... Billy Connolly just sounds like he is telling random stories, and saying "fuck" occasionally.
