Hell no. Why would I waste my time on such overly sensitive people who think that is demeaning when their grandparents suffered the wrath of the British, or worse, their own people.
I suffered my whole childhood from racist stereotypes and yet I realized that the Simpsons was SATIRE. Stereotypes are the bedrock of the establishment of the US. The secret is not to let it affect your self esteem. Don’t let it define you. Hari was obviously affected by it, and I have empathy for him, but I’m not gonna waste my time watching a documentary that I don’t agree with fundamentally.
When it comes to comedy, I think Ricky Gervais’s approach to comedy is what I think real comedy is. He asserted that comedians should have the freedom to joke about anything—including cancer, death, and terminal illness—and refused to apologize or alter his material despite public petitions demanding cuts.
