I just don't understand cultures sometimes. Like what makes something offensive that a comedian says somehow the culpability of an entire nation state?

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/11/...joke-singapore-apologizes-intl-hnk/index.html

Sure, it was a distasteful and pretty meh joke. But why would a Singapore-born comedian joking at a comedy show in the US about a missing Malaysian airline, with mostly Chinese victims, somehow be reason to march to the US embassy in Malaysia in protest?

Meanwhile, the Singapore government is apologizing to Malaysia for the comedian, which also makes little sense but at least a little more than marching on the US embassy:

Is this just Malaysians exhibiting their own form of jihad?

Maybe @GordoDeCentral can explain this perspective of Malaysian offense to Americans for something a Singaporean did to me...

@sallyinzaghi can.

But humor and sensitivities are different from place to place. Some cultures can take it, others can't.

Have you checked how much victim you are

I've always called them 23andMeh

@sallyinzaghi can.

But it's not even so much about sensitivities. It's about attributing blame. And these Malaysian kids thought they should blame the US for a Singapore comedian who told a joke there. That's what I'm not following.

    I’ve been confused for him, and he was born in the same hospital as me and grew up nearby. But we are different people. Easy mix-up.

    Truth is that people called him bat-sh*t crazy, but he was 90% right.
    I’ve been confused for him less for the mug shots. More for the fact I was born in and raised near Evergreen Park, IL like him, worked in physics for some time, and occasionally I’ve been seen wearing a hoodie. (Though never with sunglasses.)

    I look a lot like this mug shot, too.
    what about the ones you do cocaine with?
    Refined women with loads of cash to spend on baby powder.

    One of them married Pogba
    The women aren’t the refined part of the equation, broseppi.
