I have also watched several of his videos on YouTube. I did not see the Tweets until this morning after I watched his other material and I am glad. His tweets are not representative of his full act, he is a very funny guy with a lot of insight into what it is like to face discrimination.

He grew up in apartheid South Africa with a mixed race family that could not be seen together in public because mixed race families were illegal. A few inappropriate tweets don't change the fact that this guy has a lot of insight into what it is like to face oppression and he can talk about it in a way that will make you laugh while also recognizing the injustice.
