Oh, and cutting and pasting from what I wrote above will not work because I used the special characters ‹ and › instead of < and > . If I hadn't done so, some of my comment would not have displayed properly. Don't worry about understanding that, just know that "<" and ">" must be used instead of "‹" and "›" when you try this yourself, therefore cutting and pasting from what I wrote above will not work.

Sunda might be somewhat funny but she is definitely walking a tight rope. Check out the "Mixed Up" link on the attached website. Be sure to listen until the end. You'll be shocked at how she describes a a black woman who approached after a show.

Aabaakawad, thank you so much for the explanation. It's perfect. Now, I have to practice to make sure I post correctly.
Thanks again! :)

Thanks for the link Cmar and you are correct. In the clip that you captioned, her stereotypes of black women (and women in general) is highly offensive. I wondered how many layers there were to Sunda when she appeared all over the media last week with her litigious mother-in-law story. Was this really about her mother-in-law being offended or was this a gag to gain publicity? Me thinks her comedic time clock is running out.

Hur är läget, Sunda? Why no Svenska jokes?
Aabaakawad
For American stand-up Sunda Croonquist, the old jokes have a new edge – after her husband’s mum sued her for making her the punchline of too many of her routines.
Croonquist’s act is based on her diverse background in her act as a half-black, half-Swedish woman who grew up Catholic and married into a Jewish family.
But mother-in-law Ruth Zafrin, her daughter, Shelley Edelman, and Shelley's husband, Neil have failed to see the funny side, and filed a lawsuit in New Jersey, claiming the stand-up is spreading defamatory and racist lies.
