Sofia Vergara made a “joke” about “anal” during the Golden Globes that many people are “outraged.” Without hearing the joke, one would assume that people were angry because she broached a taboo topic of butt sex on national television. However, the virtue-signaling indignation machine has upped it’s game in 2017.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has an anal tradition…I mean, they have an anus tradition,” Sofia said. “I didn’t mean … they have an anus tradition… They have a tradition that they do every year of choosing a second generation perform to assist in the presentation of the award to fulfill the duties of Miss Golden Globes tonight are the three beautiful daughters of Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin, Scarlet, Sistine and Sophia Stallone.”

A fairly innocuous throwaway pun right?
WRONG!!!
Many thought the self-deprecating joke was racist.
I wish we could live in a world where Sofia Vergara doesn't have to CONSTANTLY MOCK HERSELF IN ORDER TO EXIST

I know actors agree to present awards & are scripted, but plz STOP writing the same over sexualized/latinx accent jokes #GoldenGlobes

Every comedy writer who pitches a joke about Sofia Vergara's accent should try being a wildly successful entertainer in a second language.

One itsy bitsy problem, Sofia wrote the “joke” herself. In an Instagram post, Vergara said, “I look lonely back stage but I was just trying to come up with my an*s joke hahhahha!!!!#goldenglobes2017 #itsallaboutentertaining ✨✨✨🎉🎉.”
Why does Sofia Vergara have to be such a racist against Sofia Vergara?
