Lol the non apologetic, "I'm so sorry *you* heard that" is gold.

Dylan will be requesting a day off, for the opening of the new Pottery Barn.

“Germany? That’s basically France, right.”
Charlemagne: I see nothing wrong with this.

“Imagine if white people wrote the textbook chapter of the trail of tears” fucking annihilated me

Poor Dillon. Maybe his school can make up for the fact that he's going to miss the opening of the farmers market by allowing him to wear his traditional clothes for that day (socks and sandals)

Im from a country are a lot of cultures here, my class is full of different types of people but there is only one white guy, and I kid you not when we were learning about how the British conquered us, this is EXACTLY how it went down. The teacher was basically very nervous and every 5 seconds was like ' But of course the British people nowadays are different from back then' while looking directly at him for an uncomfortable amount of time and after the lesson he ( the white kid) got pulled into counseling to make sure ' he didn't feel attacked'. He's from Canada

Am I appropriating Julio's- I mean Dylan's culture if I go to the farmer's market? Is it only okay as long as I do my research on the history behind it?? Trying to be respectful. 🖖

I have to say, I was worried when I first started watching cause the "reverse it" concept has been done so many times, but this one sticks out. It's funny and perceptive.

As an Asian kid with a “hard to pronounce” name, the Julio line hit me hard lmao this whole sketch was so well done

[daino.]

this was completely gold. I'm mixed race/latino and as a kid my spanish teachers would tell other students they could partner with or ask me questions even though I never knew the language. This whole sketch is too real

[lolkayleen]

I WAS HOWLING AT THE "france and germany they're like the same right next to each other" BECAUSE I HADN'T THOUGHT ABT IT LIKE THAT as a POC, hands down the best line here

[valblome]

"Where are you FROM from?" I had two friends in middle school (from two different households). Both were adopted to white parents as babies, one from China and one from South Korea. I will never forget the teacher who assumed 1) They were raised by their genetic families 2) They knew all about their country of origin 3) They were sisters 4) They were both from China.

Edit: I have multiple comments that most people aren't adopted, so the first assumption isn't unreasonable. I included all the assumptions in an escalating chain. It provides more context.

As a white person named Dillon born on May 29th, I feel personally victimized by this sketch.

I'd like a formal apology from this comedian.

[KooblayKhan]

This was fantastic! A quality humor focused cultural critique. I am white and I felt like, kinda uncomfortable "as" Dylan. The Germany and France are basically the same line was a fantastic one, the "I'm sorry you HEARD that" was a fantastic line, the "not a lot of white kids, and you are welcome here" line was a good one.

Thanks for the post!

Impressive how many jokes were crammed in under five minutes

I didn't get this treatment until I started working. I heard people speculating about my "true" nationality in two different jobs, even though I'm 100% local, born and raised in the same area I work. The cherry on top was when someone suggested I should date "within my community". WTF.

[nairocamilo]

The chair mediocre spin though,
10/10 best sketch

*As a daughter of an immigrant I feel so identified with Dylan.* My first day in school was basically this! And I'm white and I immigrated to another "white" country and yet I was treated as exotic. My teachers never changed my name so that it would be easier for them but they refused to spell it correctly (one teacher actually forced me to spell it her way on tests or she would berate me in front of the whole class). Even to this day people spell my name wrong purely out of habit. My name's Monika but everyone writes it MoniCa. I have had some trouble with documents because people refuse to spell it correctly. 😕😦😢

Oh my gosh. As a non-native english speaker, it took me until I read this video title to realize why the black kid from South Park is named Token.
