I’m still so shocked that the #Emmys would include such a racist bit in Robin Williams tribute. Out of all his great work, really?

Like, now I just think Robin Williams was kind of racist? Thanks Emmys.

After that, people who’d never heard of Robin Williams would think he’s Billy Crystal’s racist friend who was on a lot of talk shows?

I love Robin Williams but he really had some not ok racist jokes and they even put it in the tribute tonight

Really people? Racist? It’s time for some people to get a life. A short clip where Robin Williams makes fun of living in oppressive Iran? It is called FUNNY. The clip below is the full improvised scarf routine he makes fun of Indians, Jews, Gays, Japanese, Hispanics, and Amish as well as Iranians. Those who complain about the clip being racist are full of camel dung. It would have been racist if Williams had left out the Iranians.
