What about niggers, ****ing rich jews, or spics? He won't rip on them - he wouldn't dare. Star Wars geeks and other people he's mocked were informal groups. He mocked what they were doing, not who they were. Triumph and company are ****ing cowards, and mocked an entire ethnic, and that's ****ing racist jokes if I ever saw see any (though the Celine Dion Street joke wasn't racist at all, that was merely unfunny). And you know as well as I do that he did it only because he had the chance to do it without any consequence.
But it is a touchy subject in my country. I've explained it above, and you still think that it isn't? Because you think it should not be, does not imply that it is not. I know that this is the attitude Conan came in Canada with, and it was a purely ignorant attitute. He got implicated into something he had no clue about. He opened a political wound that's been plaguing it since its foundation, a wound that had been opened by another ignorant big mouth less than 2 weeks ago. So stop deciding what matters or not in a country that is not yours.
And according to this forum's rules, this should be closed. I'll leave it open because none of you realize what I'm saying... Would someone have done a thread about tasteless Black People or Jewish jokes, it would have been closed.

8) No racist remarks. Any foul usage of a racial slur will lead to a ban. Music lyrics are an exception, but that is it. Use good judgment.
