Why is Paul chowdhry allowed to be racist?
The comedian Paul chowdhry who is British-Asian uses many racist jokes in his stand-up comedy routines, but if he was white, he would be accused of being a racist, and none of his shows would be aired on TV. ............ So my question is ... Why is it acceptable to be racist if you are not white , is this the society that we live in where you can only be accused of racism if you are white?

yes white people were notorious for being racist and owning black slaves, but that all ended in the 1860's , and it was white people that abolished slavery in the 1860's, and more than 300,000 white soldiers died in the fight to abolish slavery.
If racism is to ever be removed from society, then it is not right for not-whites to make racist comments and jokes, and then get upset by the same jokes if they are said by a white person

People don't like it when White people act racist because the White race is the race that is most famous and notorious for their racist acts. Whites are famous for owning Black slaves and giving them their last name and having other Black servants, they're famous for lynching Blacks and mistreating them and being racist and unfair towards them and etcetera. It's not only those things, but the media is to blame. We see and hear more about racist Whites than any other race. That's why people don't like it when Whites act racist. But when a person of a different race acts racist, it's different, which causes people to get a laugh of out of racism that isn't coming from a White person. Like Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks for example.
