Source - Steve Martin has apologized for making a racist joke on Twitter. On Friday, the actor and comedian was engaging in a back-and-forth with followers about grammar, using their questions to make wisecracks.
When one person asked Martin, “Is this how you spell lasonia?” the star replied, “It depends. Are you in an African-American neighborhood or at an Italian restaurant?”
It's mind blowing to me the shit people make a big deal out of. This is like a bed time story compared to the hate people spew on twitter 24/7. But that's beside the point because he is a celebrity and always being scrutinized. My real question is what is the line between something that is just true and something that is racist? If I were to say, black people are typically more athletic than white people, or say asian people are worse drivers, and I can back them up statistically does that make me racist? And I'm not racist, I have black friends. (classic you actually are prejudice line) I feel like it shouldn't, I'm just saying things that are true. And if I know anything to be true, its that black people tend to have crazy spellings of shit. Dwyane, Anferny, d'brickashaw? There's a student in my friend's 2nd grade class named "La-La" but it's pronounced Ladashla.
It was just a joke, and it's true. It's called comedy. Look it up.
