Hence a midget will do short jokes..fat comic does fat jokes etc...it is the cornerstone of stand up comedy.
Would people be offended if the same email was quoted out of Chris Rock?
IMO ... I think people would laugh not cringe.

I'm not a fan of Chris Rock live.....for the very reasons you outline here, guess we all have different tastes in hummour as well as everything else......some of his movies are very funny, but his stand up commedy wouldn't sell me a ticket
