Is this racist?

Actually is it funny?

FADE IN:

INT. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DEBATE -- DAY

PRESENTER
Mrs Clinton, in the race for the presidency Mr Obama is still ahead of you, due to him securing a large percentage of the black vote. How do you plan to address this in your campaign?

HILARY
(OTT faux Caribbean accent) Wotchoo talking about boi?

PRESENTER
Erm, how are you going to address that in your campaign?

HILARY
And I say wotchoo talking about? Me come here to drink di milk not to count di cow.

PRESENTER
Okay. Mrs Clinton. I'm going to stop you there because I think that's probably racist.

HILARY
Ah you too fass and facety.

PRESENTER
I even don't know what that means.

HILARY
Yeah but me bruddas and mi sistas know what it means.
(beat)
Aye.

I don't think it's racist. It highlights just how desperate Hilary is getting - I mean she's cried on live tv at least once. I think.

The punchline was a little weak though.

I could see something like this on dead ringers.

I thought very Spitting Image. Can you just imagine the Hilary puppet?

Yeah, the punch is poor isn't it.

I was thinking of tilt'ing it. But then I remembered they don't do impressions. Might send it anyway if I can think of a better punch.

ooh, thought of a possible. got to go to a gig now i'll do it later

Laughing out loud I liked it. Also liked the punchline. Actually made me laugh out loud, well done.

And no, it's not racist.

It's good. It does need a harder punch though and surely you can work in a "Wot you talkin' about Willis?"

kjs

Its good & it is not racist. IMO!

Its sexest. Needs a better punchline and its a bit obvious when he says the punchline and it is a little racist unless you're being ironic then its a little smug :P

EDIT: In fact a much better idea would be for Hilary to start ripping off the 'I have a dream' speech which works on 2 levels e.g. MLK was a black civil rights leader and Obama has been accused of using 'I have a dream' like sentiments in his speeches.
