Sarah Silverman. "I Love You More." Youtube. March 26, 2007. April 1st, 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNshMFbyMzw&feature=PlayList&p=ADDCED3E81E1814A&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3.

The song "I Love You More", performed by Sarah Silverman, exhibits a meddling of identity politics. Sarah Silverman innocently mocks African-Americans, Jews, Asians, Gays, and Puerto Ricaans by using sterotypes. These sterotypes run counter to anything that is politically correct, and would naturally infuriate anyone who values identity poltics. The performance, however, mocks Silverman herself, painting her as ignorant and is a satirical portrait of a bigot.
