During WWII, soldiers were trained to distinguish between different types of Asians. While the training was mediocre at best, it was essential because numerous Asian countries allied with the US during the war.
Nowadays it's bad to identify different ethnicity of people by their facial and physical features, that's why everyone don't know who they are... Lost People robbing others cultures just like all the woke characters changing stories 😅😅😅👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Japan invaded many Asian countries during WW2. What they did to them is nothing short of appalling and it really rails it in as to why Cotton hated the Japanese so much.
@Regina Marks A single word could not describe the atrocities that the Japanese commited. During the "Rape of Nanking", a few Japanese officers had a literal race to see who could behead 100 people the fastest. They used babies as trap shooting targets, like the little clay discs what sane people use.
@@reginamarks2187 Pretty sure the main reason why Cotton had a thing against Japanese (except for the one he knocked up) was because they blew his shins off.

As a Afghan Vet, I've done this so many times with family and friends especially since a few Pakistani family's moved in and opened shops.

This show just gets better and better as time passes by. I think this is a real case of art that wasn't fully appreciated in it's own time. This came out when I was about 8 and I enjoyed it but didn't really find it funny but as you get older it's just like the most most wonderfully written show, ever possibly?
subtle thing noone talks about is he calls him mr khan before and after hank introduces them, and hank never says his name. he guesses both that his name is khan and that he is laotian without being told purely thru the power of his racism

Cotton having a perfect mental taxonomy of Asian phenotypes is among the funniest and cleverest jokes the series concocted.

Khan genuinely looked perplex about whether to be offended or impressed
I think he was surprised that someone finally got his ethnicity right for once after people calling him Chinese or Japanese so much.
You have to a real racist to know the differences between Asians and I am trying to up my racism game to be like that.
He realized that if he really was Japanese, he would've been in trouble.
Man, imagine being so racist,you learn about each race and how to be able to tell them apart to be racist more accurately
@@Buguese it's called competitive racism. The best kind.
"He's Laotian." Cotton may be a bitter old man, but at least he's educated.
Laotians fought the Japanese in WWII too

Never thought of that before. Even to go as far to call him Mr. Kahn.
They also have the same voice actor.
Very good point. That, and they are both the two biggest assholes in the show, so they have that in common.
Idk why but I love the chemistry between khan and cotton 😂😂😂
Same voice actor
Mutual respect. Cotton fought in WWII with the Laotians against the Japanese.
They didn't interact too much in the series as far as I know but they both enjoy making fun of Hank

Can relate sorta. No one knows what the fuck a Somalian is so I'm just painted Indian.
1:40 He's Japanese.
No, he ain't. He's Laotian. Ain't you, Mr. Kahn ?
Thanks, this was exactly the clip I was looking for!
He would know what a Japanese man looks like.
If he was real and not a cartoon, that is....
-_-
Sorry for what I did.
One of the best quotes ever, lol. Of course Cotton (of all people) *smh* would know.
When Cotton successfully identified Khan as a Laotian, it was such a hilarious subversion.
And its more than a subversion. Its in character, because as a WW2 vet he probably saw the amount of Asians straight up against Imperial Japan
He was very smart
2:33 Peggy's best Spanish pronunciation in the whole show
That’s what I’m sayin
So true
To be fair the word is as common as greetings in the USA so kinda makes sense
Even then, she pronounced it in a weird way
As a Mexican I’d rather her pronounce it like a regular white person
“No be ain’t. He’s Laotian. Ain’t you, mister Khan?”
That’s kind of a terrifying exchange
Lol don't forget cotton sniffed Kahn
No it isn't

It's perfect

"Hey Hank's wife."
"How long have you been here, Cotton? I didn't notice you so-"
"Didi, come and gamble here with Hank's wife."
Funny part XD
It's "come and gab with Hank's wife". "Gab" is a word that older people used for talk or conversate with others.
To be fair if I had to talk to Peggy I’d probably do the same thing.
Love how cotton hill knew he was Laotian by smell
That's wasn't smell

Not really that hard honestly considering they're in Texas.

Your Laotian ain’t you Mr khan lol
why am I less concerned about cotton being racist, than the fact that his wife asked hank if he still likes finger painting
Bc he wasn't being racist here
Because he wasn’t being emotionally and sexually abusive to Khan.
Didi on the other hand, she’s seen and felt things.
@@paulbrule5897 Well, he did think Kahn was the help.
@@sixgunshauna3486 Only because of the shoes he was wearing though, and Cotton always notices a man's shoes.

Dale opening the piñata gets me every time 😅
Honestly, this is how it feels when someone gets my ethnicity right. Like *finally* somebody who isn’t completely idiotic about ethnicity.
Haha! Kahn's like, "What the hell!?" with that remark, even with his desire to not be mislabeled. Cotton got him spooked!
Cotton gave Bobby a loaded shotgun with one in the barrel lol
You don’t give a toy without batteries
What a stupid question, do you still like finger paints?
Who doesn't still like finger paints?
0:36 “Where are it’s legs?”
Ain’t no water toy Mr Khan. Its a genuine Winchester 20 gauge shot gun.
Cotton knew this man’s name too!
I will never forget this scene, prickly encapsulate the show, all it was missing was boomhauer and louane
And the behind the scenes hilarity makes it better since Toby Huss voiced both Cotton and Kahn.
This 3 minute clip has so much going on. Every time I revisit it I pick up on something else. Its a joke every .5 seconds.
It’s also funny how Khan & Cotton are voiced by the same person (Toby Huss). 1:59 AH HA SUPA SQUIRTA!!!!!! 😂
Khan knew that man stacked some bodies
1:23 LMAO

Bill : I'm havin fun
Child: your wife divorced you
So, I just noticed:
No one told Cotton what Khan’s name was.
Did Cotton just throw an Asian name out, and happen to be correct?
Cotton 100 percent knows exactly what region of Laos Khan is from. The man’s a professional racist

They're neighbors and Bobby is friends with Connie.
