When will the world go easy on these poor male comedians :'(???

Awww, he is bummed that he can't host the Oscars and make fun of Asian people anymore? That's super sad for him.

[queer_bee]

IKR. The last Oscars he hosted was awful, primarily because he made fun of Asians.

[humannatur3]

he didn't get called out enough for that. such an asshole.

[la_petite_singe]
