Can you dig it? what's more, who cares, anyways?

[@paleamigo8575]

It didn't happen, It's called "comedy". That's what most comedians do, they create stories to use as material. Try adding up the total number of stories told by every comedian, that would equal a tremendous amount of nonsense going on in the world if they were all true.

[@lizsutherland2707]

This bit clearly stems from Gina Yashere's experiences as a black woman experiencing microaggressions regularly. The precise details of this particular scenario may or may not be true, as stand up comedians commonly embellish or make up stories to convey a larger point (including white dudes too, believe it or not). Assuming the story is true though, Gina believed the woman was making an erroneous assumption about their first class status based on their appearance. The woman didn't state it outright, that's why it's called a microaggression. But ironically, what you have failed to pick up on is that - in a similar fashion - she didn't directly accuse the woman of being racist either. Rather she asked her why she thought they didn't belong in first class. You might even call it a microaccusation. The words race, racist, or racism were never used. Simply a baldly asked question for which the woman didn't have a good answer. Or at least one she wanted to say out loud. So why would you or this white lady think she was being falsely accused of racism? And why do you assume GY was shouting in the train car? She doesn't say that she was. If you're assuming that based on her stage and interview persona that's quite the double standard considering that the only one in the story who was shouting was the other woman.

[@golderp]

It may have or might not have happened to her but it does happen most of the times. Subtle racism that Whites themselves don’t realise at times. I am a rich black man and fly business class most times. It’s always unsettling the way the air stewardess rush to check my boarding pass once I approach the lounge. You can see that expression on their face like I’ve walked up somewhere I don’t belong.

[@lr990]

Why is it with black British comics that their whole act is about race?

[@jacaranda100]

Maybe it's because they experience British racïsm and classïsm at astronomical levels?

In all my years & thousands of miles traveled, never once have I seen either a "white" or "black" person. People need to study a color wheel. Don't they still have art classes in schools these days??? Another thing, am I supposed to laugh just because she's a person of color??? Because she's not a bit funny.

[@makeracistsafraidagain]

And Wife isn't actually "yellow", though she's been called that. But this woman IS funny.

[@Vampirebear13]

@@makeracistsafraidagain In my generation "yellow" meant cowardly. For anyone to refer to themselves or others as a color, is the very definition of racism :-( I have a very twisted sense of humor & this woman wasn't a bit funny to me, mainly for 2 reasons, 1 she relies on racial bias in her act & 2 her entire story was telegraphed. To be truly funny, the joke must have a "zinger", in which nobody sees coming. If you liked her act, great. People don't all have to be the same.

Why is every non-white comedian obsessed with telling shit unfunny stories about "racism" that are almost certainly fake? Theyre given the privilege in living in a country so much better than what their own people managed to create, but instead of feeling the least bit of gratitude, they play the victim
