Comedian Hari Kondabolu on Racism, Tolerance and Math

Comedian Hari Kondabolu on Racism, Tolerance and Math

I thought I’d post this very funny short piece by comedian Hari Kondabolu, because I just can’t work up the energy to talk about Donald Trump tonight – but because Hari’s routine which touches upon racism and white folks, he takes us back to The Donald anyway!

Hari begins with a very funny anecdote (now)  about running into a racist in an unusual way, and talks a bit about the year 2042. If you’re not a subscriber to The White Pointy Hat News, 2042 is the year when white people officially become a ‘minority’ – or 49% of the population. I wonder if  this fact fuels many of the  fears of those following Donald Trump,and explains their aversion to immigrants and refugees. Small spoiler alert, Hari sends comfort to any white people who feel threatened, by reminding them they were a minority when they came to this country, and it’s worked out just fine – for them.
