I have to agree with you. I am not His...Christine, <br />I have to agree with you. I am not Hispanic but I often feel very uncomfortable about Lopez’s jokes. I feel they perpetuate prejudices and are not funny as far as I am concerned. I feel that same type of discomfort when black people are made fun of in shows for being criminals. My son and I would watch Everybody Hates Chris, and often I could not believe the jokes. They were so racist and Chris Rock thought they were funny. If people from other racial backgrounds made those jokes, it would be upsetting, then why is it funny coming from a black comedian? Often comedians perpetuate those stereotypes and put people in that Catch-22 position where even though my feelings are hurt, I get the response that it is just a comedy.
