MEREDITH CLARK (JOURNALIST): So often the comedians that we're talking about are people who are targeting and making the subject of their jokes already marginalized groups. Specifically, I'll say with an example, with trans women, Black trans women in particular. You know, Dave Chappelle is a comedian who's at the center of a lot of this, and that's a group that is highly targeted. They are murdered at higher rates than others, and it's not, it's not just a simple joke to talk about Black trans women or trans people, period.
