Can we blame Chris Rock for this? I think that the sentiment existed way before his comic bit, but he unwittingly gave the concept some heft ("Hey, Chris Rock said it! And he's black!").

Racist are going to be racist and the sentiment behind it that is basically "oh you speak so well" has existed before rock was even born.
 
if he didn't do that bit in a comedy special, do you think the youtube comments would be any better?

Nope it will still be the same, "you one of the good ones" been around for decades. You all remember the Justice League episode when they went back to the silver age and jay garrick told Stewart he was a credit to his people?
 
when'd you change your name?

Headache!

I love dealing with community....most of the time. But you always get that one person who believe they are the smartest person on the planet, and feels they know how stuff should work. They inevitably become the dreaded PITA and attempt to goad you into argument every...single...time!

Dunno why this kid has nothing better to do than argue with me on a Sunday evening, but i'm doing my best not to lose my cool. I really just want to tell him to piss off!

Racist like this would just find something else to defend their racism. The Chris Rock comedy bit is just convenient because you can easily share a youtube link when someone calls you out. Not that it matters because the people who make comments like this one are clearly missing the point of Chris Rock's bit anyway.

Plus there was nothing wrong with the bit and it was a good message, outside of the misplaced Bone Thugz diss.

Usually I just get stuff for zappos. I blame this on animeGAF and my curiosity about the new Ghost in the Shell series.

How many of you guys have realized you're the token black friend? I only have a handful of black friends and I know so many Spanish and white people. Koreans are moving up too. I had thought about that a couple of weeks ago and I've realized I've become a Carlton.

In most cases I am the tolken black friend. Comes with the territory I guess, especially because I don't live downtown.

It's crazy. It just happens now. Like its the default option. I walk into the room, all the white, Spanish and Asian people gravitate toward me.

Whats it like being hte only black guy in a room full of koreans.

I remember when I gave school tours and I had a group of Korean students. Very nice, but at the end of trip they offered me breakfast and asked if I could rap for the pm and throw up gang signs. It was so innocuous, I had to laugh. As if I shattered that image if what they assumed all black people were like.

I have plenty of other stories like that though.

They were like 15 and really sheltered. I ended up taking a couple of pictures with them though. It was pretty funny though.

As an aside since the subject is Koreans, the African American history class in my school, was apparently only Korean girls and my one Jewish friend. I didn't take that class unfortunately.
