Comedian Steve Harvey and actress Nicole Kidman are the latest celebrities on a growing list to come under fire for associating with President-elect Donald Trump, or making pro-Trump statements.
Harvey has come under vicious attack after meeting with Mr. Trump last Friday to discuss working with incoming HUD secretary Ben Carson on inner-city housing issues. Both Harvey and Carson grew up so poor, and so black, and rose to greatness in their fields – so I think it’s safe to assume they are going to be assets to the Black community. It should also be noted that President Obama’s transition team asked Harvey to do it, which both transition teams supported. In response, the “tolerant left,” including fellow black comedian DL Hughley, has not been kind.
In the media’s latest attack on Harvey, sensitive Asian chef and Super Mario turtle faced author Eddie Huang penned a pithy little hit piece in the New York Times which basically called Harvey (who supported Hillary Clinton) a racist, after the comedian and TV show host made fun of a book cover that Huang had posted on instagram entitled “How to Date a White Woman – a practical guide for Asian men.” Harvey featured the image in a segment on his daytime TV show January 6th, after which he proceeded to crack jokes about how black women don’t like dating Asian men. Literally Hitler.
Huang, owner of Baohaus Taiwanese restaurant in Manhattan – and author of the book turned TV show “Fresh off the Boat,” has made a fortune off the “Fresh off the boat” franchise – a term which has, for decades, been used as a derogatory slur to describe Asian immigrants who aren’t familiar with American culture. Huang’s whole shtick is the hilarious confusion between Asian and American cultural misunderstandings – so racial comedy using a provocative title.
As long as we’re talking race, are all celebrity Asian chefs this sensitive? If Dave Chappelle wanted to work with the Trump administration to help the black community in a similar capacity as Steve Harvey, do you think Korean chef David Chang would write a whiny little article about Chappelle’s stand-up to increase his visibility? I suspect not, because Chang doesn’t strike me as a sensitive, attention seeking, gold-chain wearing, Super Mario turtle faced opportunist – though I’m sure the left would find someone to write it. Granted, Huang’s opportunistic little hit-piece was related to something he posted on Instagram, however the point is that comedians make racial jokes all the time, and there was really no reason to write that article.
Nicole Kidman is yet another celebrity to come under recent fire after making pro-Trump statements to the BBC:
“[Trump’s] now elected, and we as a country need to support whoever’s the president because that’s what the country’s based on,”
Kidman, whose father died while under investigation for his suspected role in a massive pedophile ring, was featured in a recent “pizza themed” hit piece in Australia’s Woman’s Day magazine, which was parroted by the Daily Mail. Perhaps the reference to pizza, which made international news as suspected pedophile code-phrase contained within the Wikileaks dumps, was intended to punish Kidman for simply saying “let’s give Trump a chance?“
Whatever the case, this is deplorable behavior from the world’s sorest losers.
So tolerant, so liberal.
