Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad...
Russell peters , the stand up comedian is back... Here's a clip from one of his performances called outsourced where he talks about white parents who do not beat their kids. It's unlike other parents who beat their kids all the time. I'd like to ask you a few questions :

1. I have seen this video many times off youtube and on television. I find this funny as Russel Peters is a proffesional comedian, trying to make jokes for others to be enteretained.
ReplyDelete2. I dont think that white people should beat their kids. As it is morally wrong and if they are trying to teach their kids a lesson there are many other methods out there. For example parents could take away their child's ps3 or xbox 360 as a punishment. This is a replacement for beating children as the child would realize that they have done something wrong and it shouldn't happen again.
3. I have already been beaten up before in my life, because i have done or said something bad to my parents or siblings. I think that it has shaped me up and i stopped doing those bad habits. Like i remember that i swore at my dad and he hit me a couple of times, but it shaped me to respect my elders. Though beeating up a child is wrong and shouldn't be allowed, I found to help shape me and avoid the bad habits i had.
I didn’t find the video offensive at all; I think it was incredibly funny. Russell Peters presents the joke in a comedic way, and you can tell that he is merely joking.
ReplyDeleteI’m against child abuse, and I think that no parent should hit their children, regardless of the parent’s race. I don’t think beating the child will help him in any way; there are many other ways to teach a child.
I wouldn’t want my parents to ever hit me, especially just so I can fit in with others at school. And, I don’t think that there is a situation in which a parent has to raise there hand upon a child.
I think Russel Peters is hilarious even though his jokes rely heavily on stereotypes, but I think the way that he presents these stereotypes and incorporates them into his jokes takes a lot of creativity.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that parents beating their kids is a reasonable form of punishment, and I think this method does not always deter children from chosing to do the wrong thing. In some cases, making the kid understand why what he did was wrong may be enough to deter that child in the future from doing the same thing again.
As a child, my mother would beat me with a belt (not as bad as it sounds :p), and I honestly do not think it contributed to shaping me into who I am today. In fact, as I grew older (age 10/11) I actually found it comical and I would make my mother chase me around the house if she wanted to beat me :). As a result, my mother gave up trying to beat me as a form of punishment, and she resorted to asking me rhetorical questions that made me question my actions whenever I did something wrong.
I thought this video was pretty funny. Russell peter did a very good job in displaying his fact out their. You can also know that it’s all part of the comedy act and I didn’t find it racist or offensive to anyone. I don’t agree with any parent beating up there kids; it’s not the right way to raise your child, by being physical. When you do that they mostly become violent to others and behave in an inappropriate way. There’s a lot of other ways to teach your child and raise them differently other then beating them up. I wouldn’t want my parents to be beating me up every time I did something bad or got in trouble at school, but for other families and different cultures it actually works beating them up but not hitting them till they pass out. I can grow without getting hit and turn out to be a successful person.

This is a hilarious video but at the same time very racist. Many people are beaten when there children its a way of discipline but it not harsh beating to the point of abuse. There are many white parents who probably beat there kids and there are many black, Indian, or Chinese parents that don't beat there kids. But every parent has there own way of raising a child.

ReplyDeleteMy cousin showed me this video and it was hilarious!! I personally love Russel Peters. He makes racist jokes, in fact very racist jokes. The thing that makes him stand out is just that he makes jokes on his own community. Also because, well he is just hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNo I don’t think white people should beat their kids. I don’t think anyone should hit their children. If the child did anything wrong, tell them, you don’t have to physically harm the child.
Well not anymore...at least. My parents used to beat me up whenever I refused to eat my lentils. But I don’t think they used to do it with a bad intention. No parent will hit their children unless the child is really stubborn and refused the parents told him to do. Don’t you agree?
