I'm still baffled by the logic of having a roaster/crowd work guy doing a set at a convention. Like... he was gonna insult people and start shit. It's literally his job.

He's not my cup of tea, but he's been around and successful for a while now. He's not an unknown entity who they could claim acted unpredictable.

Eminem spoke at a Harris rally. But he's an adult who cares about people and expects as much from his government.

Did he throw shade at European-Americans?

I didn't watch because it's a republican political rally but he usually talks shit about other white people in the form of self deprecating humor in the shorts that get passed through my algorithm, so ... maybe? It doesn't help matters much though if he did, and it wouldn't be on the same level as calling the whole island trash.

Usually racial comedy can be fun when it takes advantage of knowledge of the in crowd. Like you couldn't really know to make fun of something unless you yourself were a fan of it. Like there are fun ways to joke around about cultures you love. He wasn't doing that.
