As an Asian-American, I must admit I didn't laugh ... not because I was offended, but because the joke was terrible. The delivery was bad. Rhythm was bad. And it was all made worse because one of the kids couldn't find his spot on the floor, which made the gratuitous exploitation look even worse.

As for content, how could I be offended by a joke where the punchline is my race's superior intellect and hard work?

As an Asian accountant that has been in the workforce since 15 years of age, I don't care. There are more important things in life than to worry about what a comedian (who hasn't been funny in several years) says or jokes about.

Wait. That was a racist thing to say! (Yeah, just kidding)

Well, he's somewhat entertaining. Definitely nowhere near the comedic juggernaut of old, though.

True. He is entertaining every now and then. But I think his stuff is old and has run it's course.

While blacks will stand up and defend this type of BS, yet Asian do nothing

i wonder what would happen if whites stud up whenever made a joke containing the word "cracker".

Then there'd be plenty of seats at the front of the bus.

I admit to hating the word "cracker". But it doesn't make me go off.

How about biscuit?

[jtodd_fl]

OMG - this reminds me of a commercial for a tanning salon here in SWFL - "brown as a biscuit for $9.99". Kinda the opposite of your point, but... you know. Mmmmm... biscuits.
