Chris Rock is a comedian that has been known to push the envelope in most of his comedy sketches. He goes through each ethnic group and "calls them out." But I think Rock is different from Cho. I laugh at much of his stuff but I do also find myself saying "oh god did he really just say that." In his defense he does poke fun at black people as well. But I still find myself having a different feeling while watching each of these comedians. Maybe it's because Cho is a woman? I have no idea. Any thought?
Here's a good example of some of his sketches that relate back to racism.
