In one joke he discusses how kids today talk back and that was a thing he never did. He then imitates a girl talking back to her mom by yelling at the audience and then he gets on one knee to act to pretend to be the mom using his white lady voice he talks to her daughter and does not even hit her. When he does this he makes it seem like white people do not hit their children. On the other hand a Mexican parent would just hit you without hesitation.

George Lopez was born in Mission Hills, California, a humble little neighborhood in Los Angeles, on April 23, 1961. At the time, California was a safe haven for Mexican immigrants, but in retrospect, "safe haven" was an incredibly misleading label, as many of these immigrants had to do grueling labor work in order to stay afloat. And it just so happened that one of those immigrants just so happened to be Anastasio Lopez, George Lopez's father. George Lopez had a rocky relationship with both his parents. By the time he was born, the ink on their divorce papers were dryer than stale bread.
Audiences are the receivers of messages. Typically, companies or organizations are “pushing” information out to audiences – disseminating material without the goal of listening in return. A common example is when companies issue news releases. They have information about an event, an acquisition or a policy decision that is important for their audiences to know, but they most likely are not looking for those audiences to weigh in at the time of release – just like Jerry Seinfeld. He is telling us his jokes and humorous observations.

Unfortunately for me, it’s called child abuse now
Life is based on a foundation of decisions and circumstances compiled on a precarious perspective of the user. The structure often relies on small and often overlooked elements. They receive no recognition, yet are the very reason for its prosperity. Trade towns and old docks are the lifeblood of the world, but best suited away from the public eye. Meant for the undesirables to deal with.

Michael Omi argues that popular culture is shaping America’s attitude towards race and says, “Since popular culture deals with the symbolic realm of social life, the images which it creates, represents, and disseminates contribute to the overall racial climate.” (540). Popular culture shapes how society views people of other races through, music, movies, the media and in print ads.

Many audiences of stand up comedy enjoy hearing their favorite comedian entertain them. But what would one think when a comedian cracks a joke about a sensitive topic, for example, a tragedy that affected hundreds of people. Some may argue that, comedians are not supposed to overstep the boundary of controversial jokes. These controversial jokes are linked with political correctness—which is used to describe language, policies, and measures that are taken to avoid offense to certain groups of people. Comedians are not compelled to restrain from controversial topics due to the topic not being sugar-coated, the higher level of contemplation that the joke can reach, and the job of the comedian—to make the current issue manageable.
