00:00What is that head wiggle that Indians do?
00:03Please don't send me back to India, it's so crowded.
00:30It's like the whole country is one endless comic con, except everybody's wearing the same costume.
00:35No ring I see, so you are only arranged to be married.
00:43Servile.
00:44Devious.
00:45Goofy.
00:46Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you.
01:03It's a tidal wave coming from the east.
01:06It's gigantic.
01:07It never got picked up 8 years ago.
01:10Well it never can.
01:12Goodbye my friend.
01:16I don't mean anything culturally insensitive.
01:22Sorry.
01:23And by sorry I mean the apology.
01:26Not the giant scarf you wear like a dress.
01:29I was asked to not be a part of a movie because I was too ethnic.
01:48I was too ethnic for the part and it was a mainstream American part.
02:00It is the absolute truth.
02:03I was told to be taking a number 27 omnibus and I complied.
02:08But it went in a backward direction.
02:11No I think you meant it was going the other way.
02:13That is the gist of what I am saying.
02:15A thousand apologies.
02:17It's not like those characters are given any degree of humanity.
02:20They don't have a certain degree of freedom, they don't have the same level of depth.
02:30Black lady.
02:36Chinese man.
02:40Hey, hey, hey.
02:43Don't yell out people's ethnicities.
02:48Anything on a plane is a weapon to a Muslim.
02:50Alright?
02:51The corner of a Dorito chip can slice a neck.
02:55Alright?
02:56You think that seat cushion is a flotation device?
02:57You are wrong.
02:58That is a smothering pillow.
03:00You see a SkyMall, I see a paper cut katana.
03:07I have to tell you something.
03:08I have been dating this girl.
03:10She's white.
03:11A white girl?
03:12Yeah, you can't look like you and yell white girl.
03:14It's okay.
03:15We hate terrorists.
03:19It's funny.
03:20I know India is this huge country but to me it's just the train.
03:25Farm town.
