9:29 that um ████ I don't even know my list might not be accurate the same okay you don't come at me at the comment section you know what I'm all about it let's be racist let's just save space I heard that that uh um like that those girls are like the hottest but the craziest Venezuelan Venezuela chicks they're like hottest but craziest like they're like they'll switch up on you real ████ because they've been living under communism for so long and that's what it is that's like North Korea you know what it is like they like control but not that much eh yeah like ████ tickets I like you keeping tabs but are not that ████ much to it I'm gonna do what the ████ I want to do because of that ████ you know Trump Colombians are like known to be like hot and and all that but so both of them are just hot dude it comes the Coast

10:20 it's like a lemon swellings I heard that they're ████ like top tier like hot like even the ugliest ████ is like God damn yeah even like the war is like that's a bad ████ you know what I'm saying and then Colombians and then they're ugliest is All American seven Latinos is like argentinians they're just like very fancy they're just white people oh yeah they just like you know judge everybody after they want to be they feel like they're perfect are they borderline they're more like they're like white people almost yeah they're like kind of like yeah they're kind of like Europeans a lot of Nazis ran away to Argentina did you know that yeah which is interesting yeah which is interesting and a lot of argentinias and Nazi uh interracial marriages have been happening the biggest population yeah which also understands like they just want Argentina they don't want to mix with other people that's crazy you know what I was thinking about like like

11:10 Latino right I felt like let's just so you know how America it's like English British culture that's just mixed when I think of Latino it's like it's like it's still european-ish but it's mixed but it's spanish-based that's basically what it is right but it's European still like but because you know okay you know America English-speaking countries are not Spanish-speaking countries so like so like like so basically in America right my brain went [Applause] when they think of a Latino they don't think of them as white but there's a lot of white people in Latin America they just speak Spanish like all the weather ladies yeah but they look a hundred percent European they look they look 100 European like like about people that live in like a lot of people that live

12:00 in Mexico City a lot of them look really white that's what I'm saying no because I've been in Mexico and all that and then like there's a lot of well he tried anyway homie what are you trying to say that I feel like you're being disrespectful there's a lot of there's a lot of yeah disrespecting me in a weird way and I don't like it there's a lot of Spanish there's like a lot of Spanish-speaking Europeans right yeah or they look European but they're from like South America and then when they come to America they don't consider them white even though they're pretty much European I see that's from my Asian ice that's what I'm saying it's like it's like Premier Chino eyes from South that's that's what I'm saying in South America to me it's like they don't cap to me it's weird how they categorize race in America oh where they look at them as like Latino but then I'm like but half of them are white like Jill's Mom right blonde with green eyes

12:51 she comes here they call her ████ but exactly but then but she's more white than than Asians Latinos considered her to be white so she was stuck in no man's land yeah but like in South America what I'm saying is like there are people that are 100 European but all they do is speak Portuguese or Spanish so that's why they're considered a minority in America but they're white I say yeah yeah genetically yeah but also that's what I'm dealing with too like my generation is dealing with that ████ because it's like we're born here right but when we go to Mexico we're not considered Mac full Mexican we're like oh you're American Gringo Gringo because my Spanish is is not as like good as theirs yeah and they come to the United States and they're looking at all you're Mexican but it's like yeah but I'm not because I'm American and it's just like yeah so we're in this weird pocket of

13:41 like passports where am I getting accepted at and then that's why people like created the name Chicano Chicano yeah so Chicano became the thing of like your your Mexican-American what about latinx how do you feel about that yeah I don't know I don't know who made that up or what's going on a white woman was just concerned I feel like we need to just change it all all right I'm pissed for them it's just like why ████ I didn't complain you know what I mean like nobody like people did not complain about that and they just decided to add wait wait you're telling me right now on JK yes you're not supporting latinx bro whoa dude whoa dude yeah dude I do not support Landing I'm confused by latinx it's dumb isn't it it is dumb very dumb there's no Asian accent I know we can't we don't know who actually made latinx he's probably right

14:32 it's probably a white woman lady my dumbass first time I read it I was like latinx little tanks yeah that white woman came to the office and she just went Cheryl is everything okay no it's not is it Latina Latino what's going on I don't know what to call my my maid I'm so confused ain't that the truth well what would you like us to call it that ████ everybody just crisscrossed all right he's looking okay make it happen I wonder if it has anything to do with like gender because you know that's what it is that no that's why latinx is is because they're like oh the masculine yeah like why is it like Latina why is it Latino and then it's just like Latino

15:22 oh you're Latino and she's just like well I'm a Latina and then they're just like confusing people you're like latinx come on ████ accidents sounds like you're about it I think you're turned I think it sounds pretty good X looks good on you yeah dude I'm gonna wear a hat just as an X you're changing all the words so even like puto it's just boot X dude okay [Laughter] let's regroup

16:12 jolex [Music] [Laughter] I went down a deep dive of like well I'm like what am I supposed to say right like because there's Hispanic there's Latino and then have you seen where it says hispanic white hispanic whatever right and I was like what the ████ does that mean and what I found out is there's a group of Spanish descendant white people in like the Texas New

17:03 Mexico area and they consider themselves white but not American anglo-white because they're European like from Spain that's where their jet like ancestors are but they're that's why they're hispanic white that's why I was like what the ████ does all these things mean a lot of those government ████ um questionnaires are weird as ████ so if I'm filling it out for my son oh right right it'll be like race and like for race there's only like two like white Hispanic or white non-hispanic or whatever and then I'm like well he's not he's not yeah I guess he is Hispanic because I click that and then it goes to ethnicity and then you would think like certain bubbles like either delete options or expand on options and then it goes ethnicity and it goes like Asian and I'm like I think that's true

17:53 I am Asian Asian white Asian Hispanic person on the other end the guy's like what kind of freak is this dude there's a guy in the office [Music] what the ████ hey Greg get in here someone's ████ around their system even the Braves over here just like I've never seen such a human before Oh My Gosh Jason Bourne oh my God he's my next I'm just like clicking all the bubbles but then I clicked all the bubbles out of fly but yeah like when you look at it you're like this person doesn't make sense I don't have to look forward to it just went multiple choice yeah but but it's everything's truthful it just doesn't make sense you are a churro ████

18:45 but I think that's why you have to press other and you just make your own ████ other slash this slash a real ████ period I love the guy buying a computer doing a spin take [Laughter] god dude that's ████ that's classic right there laughs foreign
