Images shownare of some of the comedians mentioned in my blog and some of my favourites!
I do love comedy howver i do not agree with comedy that is within an ethnic context. I think that even if racism is not intentional it may still offend people. There has been a reduction in the acceptance of racial humour and jokes that critises sexuality. The most recent and publicised example i can think of is what happened in the show Hells Kitchen. jim davidson made references to Brian dowling who is homosexual.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=481150&in_page_id=1773 This is an article for anyone that didn't watch the show!
It can be argued however that it is far more accesptable for comedians to critise their own races, sexuality and even hair colour. For example, Alan Carr and his sexuality, Chris Rock and race.Also Leigh Francis (Avid Merrian and Bo selecta) and Cathrine Tate who makes humourous references to their own hair colour.
