It can't be racist if it's a filthy Argentinian and witch-nosed Romanian telling you what neighborhoods to avoid.

After warning you why you should never, ever eat Costco’s “All-American Chocolate Cake” (hint: it comes out the same it went in), we discuss the Sketch Factor app, which has been labeled by some as racist for telling you what neighborhoods to avoid based upon crime statistics. Can statistics be racist? I dunno. If it’s a flow chart keeping track of the different slants to the eyes of East-Asians, maybe. We also get into Joan Rivers coming under fire for her recent comments about Israel and Gaza and, in general, the fact that society is becoming really, really falsely sensitive.
