Youp van ‘t Hek has had a serious collision with the editorial team of the NRC. A column he wrote in mid -January had been his last column. “How long is a Chinese!”
It disturbs Youp van ‘t Hek terrible: people who woke are. But his own NRC, for which he writes a column, is also quite woke, according to critics. And the comedian has indeed suffered from that, he admits in the Podbob. It makes him rebellious. “I always get a little less woke of all those Woke types.”
How long is Chinese
Youp has had a serious conflict with the NRC top. “I recently wrote somewhere in a column, in the NRC:” How long the war in Gaza will last? How long is a Chinese. ” I had nothing meant there, but there was an objection that I had written that. “
It is This column which appeared last January. “Then I said,” If you really find this, I’m gone. Then I’m just gone. ” I did not get a phone call from the editor.
Right away
Youp became very crib from that attitude. “I say:” Well guys, then I’m really gone. I am just gone. I write what I write. And I have not even thought about ‘How long is a Chinese’. How long is a Chinese is just a children’s joke from my childhood. I do it with my little children now. They will think for a long time. “
He continues: “There is no thought behind it.” Yes, but to call him how long … “I said,” Think after, man. Hold on with your woke geruto! “
Old and wise
Youp becomes incredibly recalcitrant of these kinds of comments. “On stage I was able to pay hard with that with the nasty. I immediately tended to write a column the following week:” How long is a Chinese? ” But now I am old and wise and I restrain myself. “
What message does he have for his critics? “Yes, go away. Turn off the TV. Do not go to my theater. Leave the NRC. I know one guy, who almost writes me a weekly letter that it is cunt. Ah man, sodemieter on.”
