more racist jokes from chelsea handler

TMZ.com catches Chelsea Handler going back to the well to make some of her usual racist cracks. Not that anybody is surprised. Mentioned here last summer after an appearance on The Tonight Show, the woman has made a "career" off of tired, lame jokes at the expense of Asians and everybody else her pretty, blonde, white self thinks she can get away with offending: Chelsea Handler's New Gig: Bigot?
She was approached by two cameramen -- one of whom was Chinese, the other (our guy) was African-American. Chelsea quipped that it was "crazy that you guys all travel together, Asians and Blacks. That's amazing." And they can vote now, too!

After a failed joke about Dog the Bounty Hunter, somehow a question about Britney Spears turned into Chelsea saying the Chinese photog was from "Vietcong-nam." When it was pointed out that he was, in fact, Chinese, Chelsea just said, "Whatever."
Her ignorance is absolutely astounding. I don't know what's worse—that infuriating, grinning attitude of entitlement she thinks has, for whatever reason, or the fact that she doesn't even try to be original when she pulls out her tired arsenal of stereotypical jokes. The fact that she's not even performing here (cameramen apparently caught her outside a restaurant) reveals she really just doesn't give a damn. That's racist!
