It’s Watters, It’s His World, and It’s Not Racist. So Stop Already. [VIDEOS]

Everyone, find your safe space! Here comes Jesse Watters, of “Watters’ World,” and it’s raaaacissst!

So says Esquire writer Luke O’Neil, who has all the appearance of a liberal hipster (ooh, can I say that?). He cites a recent video of the Fox News feature guy Jesse Watters visiting New York City’s Chinatown as proof.

Lectured O’Neil, probably fueling his indignation with an overpriced latté: “You might think that the least Republicans could do would be to refrain from reducing them to the most obvious, hackneyed group of decades-old stereotypes, but Orientalism is a hell of a drug, man.”

Yeah, man. Hell of a drug. So is the power trip O’Neil gets from being a scold. And now New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has demanded that Watters be removed from the airwaves.

Interestingly, Watters also came under fire from a writer at the conservative Federalist. Not only did writer Rich Cromwell criticize Watters for being a raaaacist, he also labeled him a “jackass” for the Chinatown video. For good measure he added a video of Watters supposedly insulting Italians, too.

I have no idea if Watters is an actual, bona fide racist. However, I think his humor is a throwback to an earlier time when people laughed over ethnic humor without getting their knickers in a twist. (That’s “knickers,” as in ‘trousers.’ You’re welcome.)

Allow me to indulge in a story.
