Besides being funny, the things addressed really make you realize how caught up the world is in being "politically correct." I think it is exactly those people who Mencia is addressing.
Mencia makes fun of people's offense to stereotypes. We all are taught that stereotyping is wrong, but we have to realize that they have been based in some truth. For example, when he says that people get offended if one assumes their customs based on their culture. I think that is truly ridiculous.
Its like everyone wants to be treated equally, but in the same breath, they want special accommodations.
When Carlos Mencia talks about learning disabilities I thought that besides his brutality (which is there for comedic reasons) his point are not so crazy. I understand that people can have learning disabilities but if they are given exception after exception how are we supposed to expect them to grow and push themselves to achieve. I guess it is difficult to know where to draw the line; when should people be forced to conform and when should their circumstances be given special consideration.
