They have a different perspective. But I think I have a right to talk about it even if I know nothing about it. I just don't understand this rule of you only get to talk about things that you've lived. Because also, I am just a comedian. I might not have the right take.

You know, I can't think of one because people don't really get as offended. And when they do get offended, there's nothing that I can adjust to even make them feel better because they're usually offended about just the word. And they're usually offended on behalf of someone else and a group of people that have nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

But it wasn't like it wasn't doing what it finally ended up doing when I really just made it personalized and found a way to talk about it that made everyone go, well, I guess we can't be mad she's talking about this because it is something she's thought about.
