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
