In a recent interview Clint “kept it real” by saying not only what was on his mind but for being right.
He says the world would be a better place if we could still laugh at inoffensive jokes about different races. The actor and director, 78, said we live in constant fear of being labelled racist for simply laughing about national stereotypes. ‘People have Lost their sense of humour,’ he told Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine.
‘In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist. I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a “Sam the Jew” or “José the Mexican” – but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought.’
‘It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don’t want to be politically correct. We’re all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything.’
Again just to claify I think he is totally right. We really have to learn to laugh at ourselves. This reminds me of a personal story of mine. So join me as I walk down memory lane.
A few years back when I was still taking jujitsu me and a friend of mine (who is black, African-American, whatever) were sparring and I ended up basically with my crotch in his face. He then says “Damn, I’m glad you white guys really do have small dicks. If you were a brother I couldn’t breathe right now” to which I replied, “Well at least my pubic hair doesn’t also cover my head.” We had a good laugh about it. I mean really why get all upset about bullshit. You know?
