It didn’t take long for Latino activists and other minority media vigilantes to slam actor Robert De Niro for what they deemed a racist remark last night at the Golden Globes Awards ceremony: In trying to be funny, the actor mumbled something about waiters -and Javier Bardem- not being there because they were deported… or something.
Watch it and judge for yourself… As for me, I am not really offended as a Latina or even an immigrant… I’m mostly offended as a funny person: I think my jokes about deported people are waaaaaaay funnier. But, hey, that’s just me!
I agree with you… it just wasn’t funny…
Hmmmm…I see it as him trying to make a Very Valid Point…
I agree with ‘from the pews’ I never mind the point he was trying to make, its just that he didn’t make it funny! .. thus my comment about me making funnier jokes about deporting people…
thanks for the feedback anyhow
