Analysis of Olivia Munn's first TDS appearance on Racialicious :

A Thin Line Between Stereotype and Satire

Excerpt: The Daily Show creates a strange dynamic for those of us who watch television through an anti-racist lens. They simultaneously lampoon racism while perpetuating it behind the scenes (and sometimes on camera), but one has to admit the make up of the Daily Show is a far cry from the inception of the show.

They also speak about the small number of women on the TDS writing staff and the conflagration of racism and sexism. Interesting read!

That was a good read. Thanks for the link!

Lazy links, and you can probably find better ones

So here's a link to the various clips of Colbert's "Ching Chong Ding Dong" character, (including his response to the criticism) followed by a link to the comic I posted about it. (It's at the bottom of the archive page for Secret Asian Man.)

I've just found this very interesting post on Tiger Beatdown about all the Olivia Munn hate: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE DELETED: The Munn Paradox.
