Comedian

First of all, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait till after ISCORE to do the diversity blog. So I just decided to do two littler blogs instead, just to make sure. I went to the comedian in the M-Shop this past Thursday night. I saw a couple of other Hixsons there. The first student comedian was not very funny at all. The second guy was funny, and I think he was doing fine for a student. The actual hired comedian however, was really funny. He really did not talk a lot about race or anything like that. He made the few comments here and there, and really most of them were about him being black and his girlfriend being white. He did however, talk a lot about sex/relationships and drinking, which is typical college humor. So overall I think going was a good time, and I probably would not have gone had I not had to go to a diversity event. However, I really did not think it was a great "diversity" event because he is a comedian. He really can't have serious talks about race and ethnicity, nor should he have to, that's not his job. I am looking forward to ISCORE because that, to me, is more of a diversity event, and I think it will be good to get some incite on things I don't ever think about.
