Lefties know no limit to their contemptable stupidity. PC Nazis, as Bill Maher would say.
Robin Williams Emmys tribute led by Billy Crystal criticised for including racist joke about Muslim woman - People - News - The Independent
In particular, it included a short snippet of a stand-up performance during which Williams borrows a pink scarf from an audience member in the front row and wraps its round his head to simulate a Hijab, or Islamic headscarf.
"I would like to welcome you to Iran… Help me!" he cries.
Viewers participating over Twitter were quick to criticise the inclusion of the joke as "racist":

The person putting together the Robin Williams segment for the Emmys decided to use his racist material.
@nialIhs
they could've shown so many funny robin williams moments during that tribute did they have to use something so racist
Ava @haltiamava
I'm still so shocked that the #Emmys would include such a racist bit in Robin Williams tribute. Out of all his great work, really?
J. Escobedo Shepherd @jawnita

After that, people who'd never heard of Robin Williams would think he's Billy Crystal's racist friend who was on a lot of talk shows?

I love Robin Williams but he really had some not ok racist jokes and they even put it in the tribute tonight
What a bunch of idiots.
