Interesting comment on CNN from a black comic who also appears at the Laugh Factory. He first cited Richards' basic racism, that the anger revealed the truth about his racist views, then commented "and people are talking how this was especially bad coming from a Jew. I want to point out he's not a Jew. He might be a Christian or an Atheist or something, but he's not a Jew. Just because he looks like a Jew don't mean he is one."
Now, the interviewer let this slip past, but I wouldn't have. Racism and prejudice is not just a white man's disease.
