citrakayahIt's one thing to be pissed at the idiot who made the tweet (and Colbert agreed with the pissed-offness) or to use it as a platform to discuss how Asian-Americans still face challenges.
It's another thing to say that Colbert was making a joke at the expense of Asian-Americans, or some how being horribly racist by using a metaphor to point out that a certain sports team owner was being casually racist. Those criticisms really don't seem to follow from what I've seen of the segment.
