I'm honestly uncertain. If the majority of Americans are talking about this as they are on this thread, then no. It achieved nothing. If people are asking questions or wondering if mocking one ethnic minority at the expense of attempting to bring justice to another is the wrong thing to do, then maybe this is a good thing.

But when people are dismissing it as flat out satire, and that's it. No, it gives me little hope and frankly I wish it had not been mentioned.


You have to understand that Colbert wasn't making fun of Asians, but of Asian stereotypes...

But, I do realize that now. I'm kind of anxious for the next Colbert Report to see if he/his writers does/do so this stupid lady can stop being hailed as some kind of Twitter heroine...

Of course.

We gave them every chance we could to make them good, hard working Americans and they chose not to be. We led the horse to water, but the majority chose to wallow in their self-pity and their anguish. I won't be blamed for their decisions, because I had nothing to do with what they decided to live like.

It's best for Colbert not to respond and to ignore it. It'll blow over in a week at most.

Not when you wear it to tell those damn wetbacks to go back where they came from, anyways.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Slurring me with words like "Nazi" is exactly what you're against, though. At least when it happens to minorities. So how are you not a hypocrite by attacking me with slurs that I find offensive?

Canada has two official languages. Seems like you need to master one of them first.

I also have no idea how bitches is fine but you need to censor dick.

I'll probably get a job in NY in the financial sector to save up money before my move to Canada (and for some large companies to pay for acquiring my graduate degrees)

I was also heavily debating moving to Seattle. I ****ing love Rain.

And I will say this unequivocally Canada > USA.

So is it time for me to blame Reagan and George H.W. Bush for the amnesty programs for illegal immigration. Yeah, I think that's a good idea for me.

Now you're insulting me? I've come to understand that may be against the rules of this website. When I said you were slurring me it was true, you are. I'm not a Nazi-- I'm a soldier in the US military with no ties to any Nazi party. You are against the name 'Redskins' as it's supposedly racist, so how do you go about slurring me when you're against slurs being used?
