The man outright says in the special that his problem is with white people, and observation of the public reaction confirms this. Anecdotally by me watching several reaction videos, the number one predictor for whether someone is offended is whiteness, and still the topic of conversation has somehow not centered on white people! And that's like, the entire issue with reality that Dave is so tired of living in that he wrote a whole special dedicated to pointing it out is that white people have this tendency to not notice when we and our attitudes are at the center of everyone else's problems.

There's plenty of criticism of Chapelle from black queer people and defense from white people so I don't buy this. It's just a very reductive take on the issue.
