Memo to all white comedians. You're only allowed to make fun of white people,...extra points if they are from the south. Comedians of other races are free to make fun of all other races including white people.

Us Cajuns make jokes about ourselves. We can take a joke and we can make some too. Cajuns, Irish, Polish, Catholics, hillbillies, rednecks, and people from the south in general must all have a sense of humor. All other races have a sense of humor but only if the comedian making jokes about them isn't white.

Know whats the difference between a Cajun Zoo and other zoos around the world? The animals have receipes for how to cook them cause them Cajuns will eat anything.

No damn kidding! As far as I'm concerned,

1. Ron White is about the only worthwhile thing to come out of the red states since cotton, and

2. The idea of someone picking on Eskimos is comical in itself, simply because you don't hear it done very often (or ever!)

It's called comedy. If you don't like it, watch something you do like.

Theres a double standard for comedians, society in general allows that for the sake of a good time...you too should get a life and learn to laugh!

There are a few races Mr. ron that have suffered beyond measure and this attitude toward a certain disadvantaged race is beyond ignorance. I am part eskimo and have heard racist jokes my whole life. How cruel for this man to say such horrible things regarding the most suicidal people in the US. Comedy central just showed a "comedy act" with him on July 18th, 2009 with him commenting on eskimos being ugly and how he understood how No race, not even there own, would sleep with them. If this were about blacks, mexicans or jewish people, TMZ or other media outlets would have him banned. I want to know who allowed him to speak in their club or event stage without stopping this horrible racism.
Guy's a flake. Who cares what he thinks? Never heard of him, had to look him up. And besides, it's not true that Inupiat peoples are "ugly." Actually, I can't think of any people who are "ugly," come to think of it. I often show a documentary in my course which includes a short "chapter" on the Gwich'in in Arctic Circle. And each time I am struck by how handsome the people are.

Seriously??? Are you a recent immigrant (serious question)? Anti-Irish prejudice goes way back in this country. Used to be signs posted in NY read: "Irish Need Not Apply" (mostly end of 19th-century through pre-WWII). But it was as much anti-Catholic and anti-poor as it was anti-Irish.
