It's just a joke.
Then go be a racist comedian at a Trump rally.
People are trying to discuss things.
- I don’t feel that Tony is a racist. Does he make racist jokes yes. Is he known for this yes. So having him come on as a speaker you should already be aware of what will come out of his mouth. And if you have a problem with what he might say maybe don’t have him as a guest speaker.
  Also while his joke has gotten the lime light it was not the most concerning thing said at that rally. Because once again he is a roast comedian, while the others on that stage said things that should be heard as well because of how worrying they are.
  
  Hey hold on a moment. He's not a racist, he's just a guy who has made it his identity to say racist things, which other people (who are also definitely not racist) enjoy laughing at!
  You are delusional.
  
  Tony constantly has hispanic/black comedians on his platform. You are hyper focused on his joke and already made up your mind. Racist don’t bring minorities to their platform and promote them.
