“NNF is generally a lighthearted, funny show but the continued relationship with unsavoury guests makes it a bit challenging to fully engage with or contribute financially.
As an example, Sarah Silverman. She broadcasted support for ethnic cleansing to millions of people whilst children were being buried under rubble. If you arent at all sympathetic to people from that part of the world, you only have go backwards and look at how she has behaved towards other ethnic groups. She used the C slur to refer to Chinese people in the 21st century. If that wasn’t bad enough, she then proceeded to have a debate with an Asian guy on national tv about whether it was racist or not. Not satisfied with disrespecting the Asian community, she then happily wore blackface for a comedy routine in the year 2007! Who on earth thought blackface was funny in the mid-2000s?!
I understand we are all human and everybody make mistakes but these examples are pretty egregious and I can’t pay money to support people who consider them a friend. If I had a friend who called Chinese people the C slur, wore black face on TV and publicly advocated for the starvation of Palestinian children then they wouldn’t be my friend anymore - pretty simple.”
