White Guys Prank Chinese People with Perfect Mandarin

We did a fun social experiment / prank where me and two of my white American friends who also speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and some Cantonese (and Spanish!) pretended not to be able to speak English with people in NYC’s Brooklyn Chinatown — and then switched over to perfect Chinese! It was a really fun day and we made lots of awesome connections with people, had lots of great Chinese food, and of course got plenty of funny reactions. Hopefully this can inspire some of you to try and learn other languages!

It's comforting to see that once they spoke Chinese the vendors open up with dialog and smiles. If you appreciate another person's culture they immediately appreciate you back.

I love how involved you are in your community! Supporting the small businesses. You and your friends are really friendly. I live in Toronto, our China Town is very similar. I love going there. I should support it more often! Keep the videos coming 👍

Hearing Spanish being spoken with a Chinese dialect was so interesting.

[Islanders]

I like how the older Chinese people are happy and amazed a white person can speak their language. It’s got to be so rare to see that.
