So a question for you all...does anyone find it offensive when Russell jokes about Sikhs? Does anyone think he's having too much fun with this concept? I'm really interested to know.

well, the thing that bothers me is that he doesn't know the difference between SIKH and being PUNJABI. His comments and jokes usually are meant for Punjabi's and poking fun at the Punjabi culture...yet he uses the word SIKH.

It's annoying.

hmm...never really realised tht shit..i guess i gotta go back and look into tht but even the other way idk i guess like personally it doesnt hurt/insult me but then when i think of it in the views of viewers who don't know who Sikhs are or who Punjabis are then im like damn nigga needs to change shit up
