racist yellowface bit on last comic standing


Big, big props to Slant Eye for the Round Eye for spotting this... Last week on Last Comic Standing, comedian Heath Hyche busted out some serious Yellow Face in his act, imitating a Japanese World War II fighter pilot and wearing—I kid you not—Chop Suey Specs and a wack fake Japanese accent. What an idiot.

Anything for a laugh, right? You have got to be kidding me. What year are we living in? What comedian in their right mind thinks they can get away with something like this on national television? And yet there he is, making an ass out of himself with this tired garbage excuse for comedy. That's racist!

Thankfully, the judges apparently weren't having it, and gave Hyche the verbal beatdown he deserved. Slanty (that's what he calls himself) has the lowdown, plus screenshots, here. I also came across a YouTube clip of him doing this racist bit on another show here. Sadly, the audience eats it up.
