Yeah, I like the Daily Show but stopped watching it regularly a while back because I can't stand the racism. It's actually gotten worse now that they have two black men on the show because it gives them more opportunities to be racist for comedies. I get that its the hip thing for white people to be racist to prove how racist they are but its still racist and its still hurtful.
I saw the Olivia Munn segment and thought she was really unfunny. It was also pretty tasteless, I thought, to make her race the linchpin of the jokes in her segment, especially since she didn't really do anything funny other than be the Asian stand-in for the jokes about Vietnam. Bad, thoughtless job by the producers. I'm not looking forward to seeing more of her.
The Kazuo Miyazaki thing was also pretty painful. I don't think this is the first time they've done that joke either(?). Haven't they had the same actor on before doing pretty much the same shtick?
