I recently attended a dissertation defense on the articulation of race in comedy sketches (shout-out to Jennifer Kim: check out her work "The Merits of a Fool: Contending with Race and Racism through Sketch Comedy from the 1960's to the 2000's"). In one of the sketches, comedian Aamer Rahman uses humor to critique the notion of "reverse racism." This video may be a way of tackling the idea in the classroom.
