There are homeless asian people.


Why would he say there wasn't?

I am glad that I'm not the only one who realized how wrong Chris was when he said there are no gay or asain homeless people. Now there are very few homeless Asians in America but there are some. But he was way off on saying there were no gay homless youth. Los Angeles has one of the country's highest population of homelessness, many of whom are teens and young adults. A staggering number of the homeless youth population are gay teens who were kicked out of their families homes for being homosexual.

Jeez, people take comedy way too seriously. Like when he joked that there are no black people in Minnesota except Prince and Kirby Puckett. Did you look up the racial demographics of Minnesota and go "Nah-uh! Why, Minneapolis has a rather large African-American population. In the 1960's..."? Sure there are homeless Asians but most likely the percentage proportionally is very low compared to whites and blacks. Comedians use generalizations: "Men do this, women don't that. I'm Jewish and we don't do this. White people do this, black people don't do that." Does it apply to every single person that they're talking about? No! If you're gonna bring out statistics every time a comedian makes a joke you might have a hard time enjoying it.
