Umm, people? He is black! Just as I'm white! Racism is if you make assumptions about people (whether they be negative or positive...) based on the fact that they are of a particular race. Racism is not 'that man waiting at the traffic lights is black'. Racism is 'that man waiting at the traffic lights is black... quick, lock your doors!'

I don't think it's just the way the talk thats makes it funny but the way they think too. It's the ability of the comic to get into the stereotype's head that makes them interesting. Anjelah Johnson pretty funny, cute too. :)
