My paternal family is from Jalisco and lemme tell ya, a lot of us look white or only remotely Hispanic. I look white 100% but I can speak Spanish with ease, yet when I visit Guadalajara, Zacatecas, and Aguas Calientes, people are shocked at how good my Spanish is.
Sometimes I wonder if the average american brain will explode when they find there is a whole country full of white spanish people… That’s what you have when you mix racial and cultural stuff.
Saw Tom Segura on his current tour and it was fucking outstanding. Highly encourage everyone to see him live. Also saw Mulaney and Burr, and Mulaney was hilarious, Burr’s set wasn’t my favorite of his.
We were in USA and this guy selling stuff on the beach was like
“hey you on holiday?”
Yes, yes we are
“Great! You look like you are Italian am I right”
Close but no we are from Uk, England in fact?
“From England? Wow “
“Your American is amazing !, how’d you speak it so good?”
Used to work with a Korean guy who lived the previous 20+ years in Mexico City and this guy spoke Korean, English,and Spanish. He was clearly Asian in appearance but once he spoke Spanish you’d swear he was a native Latino. He could even change his Spanish accent if he was talking to Cubans or South Americans so it would sound closer to their dialect. A number of the Latino staff would marvel at this and told him constantly that his Spanish was better than theirs.
Seriously though, I knew a white guy born and raised in Jamaica, spoke with a Jamaican accent and he had to explain so many times he wasn’t mocking Jamaican people (of color).
I love how often Tom’s sarcasm gets missed, makes his jokes even funnier 😂 Anyone watch the YMH Live last night? It was so brutal, I was barely able to keep it high and tight 😩
Love Tom Segura, but these jump-cuts totally ruined the joke. Context and pacing matters in comedy, people.
Fun fact louis ck is a Mexican national and spoke spanish exclusively until his parents moved to the us.
People tend to put labels due to ignorance.. In Jamaica you can find so many ethnicities…Chinese, Lebanese etc.
BIKE!!!
Great comic 👍🏽
r/funny
Where the real joke is the OP in the comments section.

[The bit, uncut for reference.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSRGStukpSg)
Such a great bit, but this edit is horrible
This isn’t funny because I was distracted by all the horrible editing cuts.
Editing a comedians standup, changing the timing and pace of the jokes, is like re-editing an action scene in a movie. Wtf are we doing?
These edits are ruining the internet. Holy shit,stop it,and stop with the subtitles in the middle of the fuckin screen also .
What’s with the jump cuts your telling a 3 min joke has to get cut down even more for shorter attention spans? It ruined the pacing.
Editing ruins it. Comedy is like 80% timing and cadence.
Wtf is wrong with the editing in this video
Sometimes I wonder if the average american brain will explode when they find there is a whole country full of white spanish people… That’s what you have when you mix racial and cultural stuff.
OP needs a new account “Annihilated Orchid” because damn
Spaniards exist too
I’ve been watching Tom Segura for like 45 years.

Segura? Yeah, not Mexican.
But, you know who sure as shit is? Louis CK.

We had to leave
Biggest culture-bending I’ve experienced was going to a Mexican restaurant in Germany named Tacohaus.
Used to work with a Korean guy who lived the previous 20+ years in Mexico City and this guy spoke Korean, English,and Spanish.

The families deserve closure Garth
When I was younger I spent a few days in Liverpool and my mind was blown when a Chinese waitress came up to me and talked to me in an English accent
This video cut is like skip skip skip skip
What crack head edited this like that and why?
Those jump cuts were cancerous.
Seriously though, I knew a white guy born and raised in Jamaica, spoke with a Jamaican accent and he had to explain so many times he wasn’t mocking Jamaican people (of color).
He’s 100% right. Had a coworker named Pablo for a while. Pablo was from mexico, but Pablo was also ethnically Chinese.
He would blow people minds by talking to them in fluent Spanish.
Sounds like he’s talking about a lot of redditor too.
Fcking annoying editing
Also, Spain exists. People seem to forget that for some reason
I love how often Tom’s sarcasm gets missed, makes his jokes even funnier 😂 Anyone watch the YMH Live last night? It was so brutal, I was barely able to keep it high and tight 😩
He lost weight good for him
BIKES!!!
Ruining the pacing of his jokes with the cuts. Fuck this poster
Watch it here, people.
