“People always say 'You do racial comedy.' And I don't, exactly. I do cultural comedy. Because race and culture are two different things”
— russell peters
Simplified Meaning:
Many people think that jokes about race and jokes about culture are the same, but they are not. Race is about someone's skin color or physical traits, while culture is more about the traditions, behaviors, and beliefs that a group of people share. For example, talking about how different countries celebrate holidays is about culture, not race. Imagine a comedian making jokes about how people from different places eat their meals; that focuses on cultural habits, not the color of their skin. Understanding this difference can help people avoid stereotypes and appreciate the richness of various customs and traditions. It’s important to respect both culture and race, but recognizing their differences helps promote a more inclusive environment.
