Hari Kondabolu: Warn Your Relatives

And the answer is none.

None more woke.

There are funny parts here.

He's ok.

Some of this felt like pandering. Some time in the past it was decided you could make sweeping generalizations about groups of people or regions of the country provided you were punching up: bigotry is fine, in other words, provided that on a collective basis you've got less power than the people you're stereotyping. This is apparently a rule of cultural physics now.

I'm sure people who enjoy this sort of thing enjoyed this special.

I found it about 50% funny and 50% lazy. I don't feel attacked, offended, or uncomfortable; it is more tedious than it is challenging. Nor do, I presume, the whole of the Midwest, or the hippies in Asheville, North Carolina, who are probably more confused than anything.

This was like watching a Twitter woke-off; a series of social justice memes thrown out for mutual approval, re-tweets, likes, and upvotes.

Still, overall, worth watching. He's got potential.

I recommend it, but it is nothing I'll remember in a year's time.
