Question 12 - Bonus

The South Park episode starts out in the aesthetic where they are showing the Wheel of Fortune and showing how racism is going to apart of the episode. It all starts when Randy says the word “niggers” as the answer to people who annoy you on the Wheel of Fortune when the real answer is naggers. This is very similar to the Chappelle Show when everyone says “nigger” like it is not a derogatory term. They are trying to show some of the stereotypes of “whiteness” and that it is not right that white people think they are the most powerful and can say whatever they want. It then moves on to the critical when Randy is apologizing to Jessie Jackson (who he thinks is the emperor of black people) and says that he is really down with African Americans in the stereotypical dialect of a lower class African American. Finally it moves to the ontological when Randy decides to go to a black comedian where he ends up getting belittled and called “nigger guy.” He soon begins to understand what it is like to be called a name that he does not like. This is also very similar to the Chappelle Show when Dave Chappelle takes off his KKK mask and everyone sees that he is actually an African American. The people in the meeting realized what they were actually doing.
