Comeon, guys. It’s a joke and he knows it’s a joke. He presents it as a joke.

Some of the activities are rather rare, but all of them have at least some followers. I, myself, am Medieval Ish, and have been for 50 years. But I must say, I know and have known a fair number of African-Americans who were also involved in the hobby, so I wouldn’t say that the Medieval thing is strictly “White People S**t.”

We have got to be able to laugh at ourselves.

We may think it's a joke but I'm afraid there's going to be a lot idiots out there who will take this as serious documentary.....

There is a difference between good natured joshing about differences and being targets who are not permitted to return jokes. It is called being targets in the long walk of marginalization.

I have no problem with a black comedian presenting a series like this. I was pointing out what would happen if the roles were reversed.

BTW, If you're Medieval-ish you might like this short documentary:

The Pennsic War

Not at our own expense.

Sadly it is important to keep in mind many people will believe this comedian and build on the stereotypical narrative to further race divisions.

Gaelic ish? Can it get more offensive than harassing someone for their origins? Uh? It’s racist.
