"I just want to be able to look at me and see me ... as white."So said Sarah Silverman, stand-up comedian, actress and writer, in her performance on Wednesday night at Richardson Auditorium, a show that students described as "relatively entertaining," "just so funny" and "excellent."Typical for her comic acts, Silverman was unafraid to touch on the personal, like her relationship with Jimmy Kimmel, host of late night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," or the controversial, such as racism, abortion, rape, death and stereotypes of Jewish-Americans.Among her most memorable punch lines were, "I tell my niece every time she loses at tag, an angel gets AIDS," "[The difference between killing six million Jews and 60 million Jews is that] 60 million would be unforgivable," and "I don't give money to [starving toddlers in Africa] because I don't want them to spend it on drugs."Silverman, ironically, said at a reception following her routine that she was very sensitive about discrimination during her childhood, recalling one incident in third grade when a boy threw change at her and then yelled, "Pick it up, Jew!" Since then, however, she has learned to see the humor in situations that could otherwise be construed as insulting."I guess if you don't think it's funny, it's probably going to be offensive," Silverman said.
