She used to be funny, but not any more. Now she just thinks she's funny. I've seen her live before her last 2 crappy tv specials. Now she just drags 30 minutes of material out to last an hour and a half. She pauses reaaalllly loooong between sentences and she'll say the punchline of a joke over and over and over as if it gets funnier everytime. Plus now she talks way too much about her lesbian experiences and gay friends. Not that I care, it just gets old.

It won't cease to exist until it's not needed anymore.

The way I, an outsider, see it, is that the reason why these comedians make fun of these stereotypes is because they exist. Her quotes show that an "Asian American" is an American nonetheless (I remember someone once posted a hilarious strip of a "European American" slagging a "Filipino" off, even though the Filipino, according to the "European American's" belief was the most American out of them).

One day these jokes will eventually die. In order to see it happening, though, the stereotypes should disappear. The same goes to homossexuality (which she also makes fun of), weight, and so on.

I don't have a problem with stereotype jokes, I just get tired of the fad of comedians who base their act around their ethnicity. When you think of the great standups in history they're known for being funny not for their ethinicity and jokes around it. Like josh said that whole "black ppl do this white ppl do that" has been done adnausium.
