On Wednesday's episode of the Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert poked fun at Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder for refusing to change the name of the NFL team, while starting a foundation for “genuine” Native American issues. After the show aired, the @ColbertReport Twitter account tweeted a joke from the segment to its 1 million followers: “I am willing to show #Asian community I care by introducing the Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever.”
