Who’s policing language?

Now my favourite comedian, Jerry Sadowitz, regularly uses all those offensive words in his act and he’s both hilarious and successful. Another comedian, Daniel Kitson, has a show where the climax of the show is essentially “Pakiiiiiiii” and it is hilarious. So it always comes back to context.

Edit: changed “whose” to “who’s” because it was bugging the shit out of me.

Whose policing language?

It's pretty endemic. Look around, we aren't at the ass end of the internet because we can freely say what we wish just anywhere, we're tapping out code in the airport bathroom, drawing forbidden fish in the dust, extending our index fingers in handshakes, and the possibility of persecution for what you say is real.

That Jews can say whatever they want doesn't apply to the rest of us.
