As far as I can tell, the sole person who lost their job at Netflix over the Dave Chappelle special

was a trans employee. So isn't it strange that Bill Maher, Andrew Yang, and John McWhorter had an 8 minute discussion about this without mentioning that fact?

Go ahead and listen to that video and tell me you wouldn't think that only Dave Chappelle was threatened with being fired.
