He didn't know that John Oliver was white?

Did.. did you just assume his race?
His great-great-great-great-grandmother identified as Cherokee you racist!

LOL.. I assumed his politics also. I haven't really watched the show, just a clip or two. He's got a worldview and an editorial/comedy platform with no responsibility of fairness.

Colion seems intelligent, and has clearly put a lot of thought into his ideas.
I don't think he's very good at expressing them though.

I'm split on the topic. If John knows he does have an influence (and he does) then I think he should feel some moral responsibility to be fair to both sides.
But at the same time, it is a comedy entertainment show. It should be allowed to put humour and audience desire first.

No clear answer to me.
