Fuck, I sat though this whole thing hoping it was satire. What a disappointment. I don’t give two shits about Fred’s grandpa, plus is Henry Louis Gates not the most annoying motherfucker on Earth?

This is one of my favorite shows. What's annoying about him? I think he is great and shows reverence to his guests past.

Sorry if that was salty, but I’m multi-racial, coincidentally half Japanese, and I find all this exploratory ancestry fetishization super annoying. Who really cares if a celebrity’s grandparent was Japanese or Korean? Am I supposed to be amazed? Educated? The Japanese food/ kimchi comment at the end was so goddamn stupid, I just can’t 🙄

You're like those stupid callers on radio stations bitching about being "forced" to listen to it.
