If you enjoy Aziz Azari and live in the Denver area, check out his stand up at Comedy Works downtown November 13th and 14th.

The Kimmel clip was really good. I have to agree that he’s better than the other north-american desi comedians I’ve seen.

This is one of my favorite Aziz Ansari clips besides the M.I.A. one. Heart him.

I love watching him at Crash Test.

Don’t sweat it arvind. It’s a lot easier for people to apply broad, irrelevant labels to people as a means of dismissing them. That’s how polemicists work, they frame debate in impertinent but polarizing terms and then simply ignore critical dialogue on real issues. It makes defending their positions a lot easier (since they basically don’t have to). Anyway, I for one was heartened to see that young like-minded brown folks are organizing in such a fashion.

then you have got to go with us left-wing desis. right-wing desis shit a brick when they see people holding hands in public.

I dont know of that analysis. Most Right leaning people like me have a what do i care what you do attitude. The right and left wing are imported labels and dont apply at all to india. Almost all the Right hindutva wing folks tend to vote democrat in US. But thats most indians, they are strongly in the Left Camp.

Worried about you bro…

louiecypher: thanks for your concern, but I’m doing just fine thanks. I was simply trying to say that YSS is not a Marxist organization. Yeah, we rent space from the Brecht and they host the Marxist school, and we have speakers who identify as Marxist. We’ll bring speakers in from any persuasion as long as they can speak to progress in whatever work they do.

For those Desis around who want to look at things with a critical eye, we’re keeping an alternative space alive. It lets great people like Hari have a stage, one that isn’t easy to come by…

So no need to pigeonhole us as Marxists, we’d rather we called Rad Desi’s

HMF and NoHate: You know Yeti was making a joke, right? An extremely sarcastic and extremely funny joke about who has power in the situation and why its ok for Hari to use the word bitch in that situation. You get it, right? Please tell me you get it.

Thanks Mahesh!

I'm still deciding whether to send my kid to an ABD Marxist-Leninist camp or an ABD Hindutva camp for her further edification on all things desi. Knowing kids these days, I'm sure it will all be a matter of who has the better after-parties.

I don't think it's fair to Hari to threadjack like this. If you want to continue this, I invite you to do so here.
