Racism is whatever anyone interprets as racism just so it can catch everything certain political persuasions claim is racism.
In other words everything.

He probably was attacked but nowhere near the level he has claimed. Even a slight push is technically an assault.
The chances are those accused will be convicted as attackers as that is the current crybaby climate we live in.
Anyone from years gone by would have probably just brushed it off, but again in the current climate the emphasis is on exaggeration and victimhood.
There is still no CCTV evidence because it will probably show nothing more than handbags at ten paces but with our leftwing compliant courts will probably be spun into another far right incident while they ignore and refuse to prosecute left wing incidents where much more 'violence' is on display. The reason:? left wing violence is justified according to the left - of which we can now include the courts.
So, to summarise, then: you weren't there and have absolutely no idea what actually happened. The end

I'd not heard of him until recently when he was mentioned in relation to the various examples of 'woke-ness' - in this case, the difference between snowflake movie critics and audiences on rotton tomatoes.
Must admit he is genuinely funny.
juicy smolly yay......he's french
His recent special - which that clip is from - and Bill Burr's both on Netflix, of all surprising places, seemed to have been a bit of a turning point on this shit. At least in comedy anyway. I like Chappelle a lot but Burr is light years funnier than him, IMO, honestly sometimes piss yourself funny. You can do far worse than catch up on both.
On comedy in the US there seems to be a loose divide with east coast, and NY based comedians being more not giving a fuck while LA ones are usually more woke.
Roy, a comedian called Nick DiPaolo has a special on YouTube... hopefully still. Watch it you and Paolo will fucking love it. Believe me. Link...

Just watched it and was deeply offended (apart from around 32mins)
Seriously though (or maybe that should be - comedically) - I prefer Chappelle.
Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.

I think the main issue here is that you quite enjoyed him getting beaten up

are you accusing mark of having a violent, leftist antifa type attitude?
“ A man has been found guilty of aggravated assault against the Guardian columnist Owen Jones because of hostility to his leftwing political views and homophobia, following a two-day trial at Snaresbrook crown court.”
This should be fun watching certain posters on here trying to frantically backtrack
