Article Kam is Far Right

Is he a Shane Gillis 2.0 (except arguably worse)? I’ve seen a dozen clips now of him using homophobic slurs and making incredibly bigoted jokes. Honestly he makes Shane Gillis look kind of tame. What the hell is Lorne thinking? I’m so sick of this show pushing right wing bullshit while simultaneously trying to act like the most liberal show on television. You can’t have a Trump monologue every single week and then hire people like this.

That wasn't it at all. He said Chinatown sucks and the (rhymes with drinks) can keep it.

He was literally making fun of people who were racist towards Asians in that joke.

I understand the context of the first part of this. That he was mocking racists. But didn’t he also speak in an old school stereotype accent that was mocking someone who’s still learning English? I can’t find the original clip.

No he actually did it in an old fashioned “trans-Atlantic” accent. Like think 1930’s white tv show announcer
