Such a good episode. South Park seems to get better with each season.
I'm amazed at how South Park after 23 seasons can make me laugh out loud repeatedly while combining classic south parkisms with hilarious satire of current events. I'm a big south park fan and these 2 episodes so far have been on point.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Their portrayal of Scientology got Chef to quit. And the chickenshits at Comedy Central will never again air the episodes featuring Mohammed. But otherwise I don't think anyone cares all that much.
So it's like NBA, where you encourage suboptimal coulored men to speak up and then back off because winnie the pooh got hurt? how many americans do watch SP, you reckon?
Maybe "marginalized" may be closer to the word you were looking for?
Is it fair to assume that this is all of comedy Central giving China the finger as well as just the south park team? I would imagine China would take this up to the producers? And I imagine Comedy Central is directly involved in the production/funding? If so that's a pretty awesome and hold move on their part. I could see this leading to other shows feeling compelled to choose a side as well. I hope it does.
i wonder if China has copied SP and if so how they would portray the USA. Has anything been made like this? And is it just as funny?
Please explain like I'm five. What's the social status of SP in the USA? E.g. what do Chomsky, Obama, Trump, Chelsea Clinton, Fox news think about it? How come there are no rage firings because of it?
People are used to it and don't care about it anymore.
I assure you Trump does not like South Park.
But at the end of the day it doesn't matter what they think. There would be huge outrage if a President tried to silence a satirical show. They wouldn't be able to get away with it.

Im thinking this is a non native language issue and no harm was intended but the wording of "sub optimal coloured men" would probably be interpreted as offensive by some and actually just doesn't totally make sense. Maybe "marginalized" may be closer to the word you were looking for?

I don't know if I'd go that far. I'd argue South Park was at its peak for the first 10 seasons. This episode was awesome but there has been quite a bit of junk between now and then. Obviously just my opinion though.

Hardliners can't be funny. That's why there's no 'woke' humor either.
Humor with an agenda doesn’t work.

This China thing is a current example. The NBA is cravenly grovelling to the CPC, and the SP creators are taking a proverbial dump on the lawns of the CPC and the NBA and Hollywood self-censors, while giving zero-fucks. Its great. Its inspiring. Another was when Isaac Hayes (actor who voiced Chef, and a Scientologist) quit when they did their Scientology episode (and it was such a brilliant episode, and at a time when Scientology was a bit of a sacred cow in Hollywood). Isaac had no problem when SP went (and continues to go) after Christianity.
Chances are, even if they really piss you off at some point, there have been other times when they've made you cheer and laugh.
