Earlier this week, I highlighted how Stephen Colbert has caught LINSANITY. Well, it was only a matter of time that Jon Stewart and The Daily Show discussed LINSANITY. “Senior Black Correspondent” Larry Wilmore raises his concerns of Jeremy Lin’s rise to fame as a sign that Asian Americans are taking basketball away from African Americans (during Black History Month). Check out the funny references to an “Asian F” and “Tiger Mom.”
