Zócalo Public Square

Comedian Max Amini, comedian and performance artist Kristina Wong, and Skidmore College scholar and author of All Joking Aside: American Humor and Its Discontents Beck Krefting talked with writer Carina Chocano about their thoughts on political correctness and humor at a Zócalo/UCLA event. They didn't always agree on where to draw the line and how to decide whether to make a joke, but they did agree that humor that bullies individuals or targets certain groups is decidedly unfunny.
