Aamer Rahman is an Australian comic of Bangladeshi descent. He is a part of the comedy duo Fear of a Brown Planet, along with fellow Australian Nazeem Hussain. This clip is from a couple of years ago. It’s a run that Rahman does on the concept of “Reverse Racism.”
A lot of white people come up to me and say ‘Hey, you make your jokes on stage. You go ‘white people this’, ‘white people that’. What if I were to go up on stage and say ‘black people are like this’ and ‘Muslim people are like that.’ You’d probably call me a racist.
Aamer breaks down the idea that, unlike many progressives, he believes that even as a person of color he too can be a racist. That reverse racism actually can exist. From there he goes on to explain exactly under what circumstances he could be a reverse racist and it’s both hilarious and informative.
