“Kramer” Disappoints the Audience

Michael Richards Outburst at L.A. Comedy Club
I didn’t even know the comedy Seinfeld’s Kramer’s real name is Michael Richards. Suddenly, Michael Richards is on every channel now. His outrage of shouting like a racist on last Friday night seems to bring him back in entertaining news but only in a down turning way.
What a shame!! A lot of people have enjoyed the character, Kramer in Seinfeld for so many years. Kramer’s image has been ruined. I am not sure if I would be able to laugh with Kramer when I see re-runs. After watching his apologies on Dave Letterman’s Late Show on CBS, I really cannot buy that he is not a racist. I feel sorry for him though and can understand a middle-age-fading-out comedian’s frustration. However, it scares me to think how many people in this country pretend to be open-minded but hide hatred toward particular races down to bottom hearts. It takes a lot of hate but not only alcohol to burst out like Michael Richards did.
Is it really funny to make fun of another race other than ours? I like stand-up comedies but also feel very uncomfortable when comedians tell those very stereotype stories about Asian people. I hope Michael Richards’ hard lesson can let comedians be more sensitive on joking around about the minorities.

Sisie:歡迎妳的造訪，我同意。不過，我覺得人在失意的時候往往會出大差錯，這真的很難避免，在替美國黑人義憤填膺的同時，也不得不心軟下來同情Michael Richards.因為在美國的主要大城市裏，種族岐視是很嚴重的禁忌，這個種族歧視事件將伴隨他度過接下來的演藝生涯，真替他難過。我自己失意時也經常犯小錯的。
