and u can find something funny at the time AND acknowledge it was racist. thats totally fine lol

This.

That’s why I also enjoy dark humor. But especially when it’s done from a place of trying to lift everyone up with laughter. Comedians who target everyone equally.

 

[Hoss]

I also think, even though Vince probably wasn't thinking of it like this, but the whole idea was Vince trying to portray a character that the ECW fanbase could relate to, iirc. So his stereotype gimmick kinda makes sense for what a 60-something year old guy would think a young, urban crowd are looking for.

Yeah the context was he'd done it before and just got heat, then he did it in like 2004 or 2005 and got in a lot of trouble bc they'd criminalized a lot of nazi stuff in Germany since

I totally buy this too. Rap and it’s culture was big in 2006.

Only saving grace about Kofi doing the Jamaican accent, imo, is that there wasn't really any stereotypical aspects to the character, he just had an accent and island music
