Sarah Silverman and Ironic Racism

Here’s a feature on the stand-up comedian Sarah Silverman. She recently featured in the film The Aristocrats and was one of the most talked about participants, due to her demeanour being far too serious for some people. Her bit in that film is discussed in the article.

A former Saturday Night Live cast member, she has a nice line in ‘ironic racism’, but see for yourself as several of her routines are outlined in the feature.

"I, this past summer, sent fifteen really fun cowl-neck sweaters to this village in Africa, in really fun colors—expecting nothing, by the way—and they culled their money together, whatever they call it, and bought a stamp and sent me a postcard thanking me, and it said thank you and that they had enough sweaters for every single member of the village to get one and that they were delicious.”
