Why is Paul chowdhry allowed to be racist?

he 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

    It's comedy. Do you think it's just non-whites who say borderline racist jokes during stand up? lol.

    British-Asian? Isn't "Chowdhry" an Indian name? They make fun of east Asians. They don't want to be Asian.
