Well, the two situations aren't comparable at all.
Michael Richards lost his shit on a heckler, his racist outburst being unplanned.
Tony Hinchcliffe said a lot of very planned, deliberate shit that he knows is offensive and is intended to be offensive by design. That's his shtick, has been for a while.
This is trolling 101. If I was doing that very thing here, I can guarantee y'all would be accusing me of trolling. It's weird that people don't register it when it happens out in the wild.
I'm getting annoyed. The comedian double downed on the "joke" and there was no Puerto Ricans on stage to roast. It's called being a racist bully. This is my last comment.
