Yeah if you want to know what being a person of color is like, it’s literally that for every Bowen Yang-shaped step you take forward, you also take one racist-ass Shane Gillis-shaped step back
Like, we get the glittery golden stiletto heel of @BowenYang’s awesomeness-fueled ascent to stardom, and then the other shoe drops, and it’s a shitkicker boot that’s been used to curbstomp Chinese restaurant delivery guys, oh yay
Fuck this guy. Using the slur “fucking chink” in the year 2018 and joking about how much he loves being racist, there’s no meaningful apology he can offer that won’t make every minute he’s on the air a cloud of death. He’s gotta go.
You know how, like cockroaches, if you see one of these racist eruptions there’s always more?

Here’s Shane Gillis mocking Asians and the disabled—first with a terrible accent, then by mourning how he looks like an Asian kid with Downs, or “leetard”

Nope these are being sent to me by people because apparently it’s not hard to find them, big boy
Here’s Shane Gillis offering up an “I’m sorry if you’re hurt but good comedy requires taking <dramatic pause> risks” apology

Because as history has shown nothing‘s more risky for a white dude than using racial slurs and mocking immigrants and the disabled
Sorry, Shane Gillis’s statement is not even an apology, it’s a voucher you can redeem for an apology if you feel like you’ve been hurt

It’s an apology Groupon

Let’s be clear here no one is ruining Shane Gillis’s career by calling him out for the racist, homophobic misogynist asshole he is, they’re just redirecting him toward a brand new future of opening for Louis CK
Wow. So it seems that @Shanemgillis’s racist humor isn’t instinctual—it’s the product of *deep research* into the kinds of things racist white people want to laugh at.

Mock Asians and Muslim terrorists, HELL YEAH!

Police brutality? YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR

Holy shit, more @Shanemgillis “chink eruptions”—this time in reference to @AndrewYang FROM THIS PAST MAY. And throw in anti-Semitism to boot—he called him a “Jew chink”!

Is your fire-this-douchebag meter full yet @nbcsnl, because the hits keep on coming
