Comedian #HariKondabolu on seeing a black nanny call her white charge “Toby” (Kunta Kinte’s slave name in “Roots”) https://youtube.com/watch?v=iHdS4UxbprA
#Heems refs this #HariKondabolu bit about the British queen…
"Columbus is why I have to tell people that I'm Indian from India. For real? Of course I am. That's where Indians originally come from. India. The factory that makes them.
But if you're a Columbus, they apparently can come from the Caribbean, New England, South America, Staten Island, an abandoned warehouse, or anywhere else you mistake for India."
Reposting this classic Hari Kondabolu video - from the old "Totally Biased" show - for Indigenous Peoples Day:
Out for some love #comedy tonight! Curious to see how many #desis show up late for #HariKondabolu
“There’s a history of #White folks talking about what they’ve learned & sharing the knowledge w/out giving credit to the ppl of color that actually got them there. This is every #POC who’s put in work” #HariKondabolu
Hear #HankAzaria acknowledge The Problem w/Apu. He fumbles somewhat but owns it a hell of lot more than he did in the documentary.
