He also coined “the friend zone” in the same special. Honestly though I don’t think it’s fair to fault him for that. Chuds steal things and recontextualize them in a way that removes irony, humour and nuance. It’s their whole thing. The solution to that isn’t to just make art that has no irony, humour or nuance. That’s just letting idiots bully us out of making anything that doesn’t talk down to its audience.
I've always wondered how Chris rock feels about his legacy being "giving racists a pass on calling black people the n word"
Based on that video, doesn't seem to really bother him.
His legacy is now getting smacked at the oscars and throwing his entire race under the bus. Must suck
He had this one short skit where he gave tips for black men to avoid getting shot by the police.
It was terrible.

I thought the term friend zone came from that episode of Scrubs.
