It seems that Michael Kramer may not be the only comedian with a penchant for racial slurs as reports circulate about comedian George Lopez at a recent L.A comedy show. According to a Mediatakeout.com reader, George apparently used the Spanish term “Mayate”, which translated means “black beetle” whilst having a rant about text messaging.

“George was going on about text alerts - then he said we have to send each other texts saying Mayate Alert, Mayate Alert. Anyway, Mayate means [The N Word] in Spanish. Some of the Mexicans were making sounds like - Whoa I can't believe he just said that. See some Black people think Negro or Nigerita means [The N Word] in Spanish. So, he thought the few black people there wouldn't catch it. He was also like f*ck 'em, they ain't here tonight - and if YOU are here - you're Dominican tonight damn it. Then he went on to promote the racial tensions (as if this needs instigating) in LA. He went on and ON about how Mexicans run L.A. and run the U.S. He also spoke about how young Mexican boys are dying on the front line in Iraq while the Whites are in the back partying (offensive to anyone of any race who has lost loved ones in Iraq). I can take a joke, but I am no longer friend with this Vato. So disappointed - I have love for the LAtinos too. I didn't get a chance to record it, but he's sold out at the Nokia Theater all this week performing up until New Years day.”
