Dear Non-Ace People...

I am extremely disappointed that Trevor Noah, the South African stand up comedian who is to replace John Stewart on The Daily Show, upon some digging tweeted a couple antisemitic and sexist jokes and agree he should apologize.

But the way these tweets have become a scandal is perplexing.

While the tweets are offensive they are quite tame in the scheme of offensive jokes. As well as they were a handful found mostly 2+ years ago. Many of us made much more offensive jokes, I know I followed y’all 2 years ago!

But there’s also an inconsistency.

Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) said the n word for a comedic song.

Steven Colbert regularly uses transphobic slurs.

Misha Collins has made homophobic and transphobic jokes.

Amy Poehler did brown face in UCB.

Eminem regularly makes “jokes” about abusing women.

Louis Tomlinson made sexist jokes publicly to his girlfriend.

Chris Colfer has made many ableist jokes.

Chelsea Handlers has made racist jokes.

John Green has made sexist jokes.

Lena Dunham has made racist jokes.

Seth McFarland has made every jokes.

Daniel Tosh has made sexist, racist and rape jokes.

Steven Moffat has made sexist and homophobic jokes.

Tyler Oakley has made many racist jokes.

Jenna Marbles has made sexist jokes and did blackface.

Yet none of these white western comedians/celebs have risked losing their jobs or really even gotten backlash for it.
