This is what living with my grandparents was like. Grandma was Japanese, Grandpa was American. Both were World War II veterans from their respective country. Grandma was a nurse for the Imperial Army. Grandpa was in the US Army in the Pacific. They fought constantly, but loved each other.
Also I assume he was American since THE FUCKERS LET HIM THROUGH WITHOUT CHECKING HIS ID?? Like WTF kind of question was that, didn't the mfs just let him through a short while ago?
@@skebaba918 They didn't. He's doing stand-up, not explaining how many hours and processes he went through. You must be a special kind of stupid to think someone would be interrogated at the border, but not checked for all their documents, ID, valid visa, etc
I have the opinion that good comedy brings out petty and or superfluous differences between all and expose how petty and superfluous they are, all while in the safety of anonymity among the group The more is likely you, the more you can laugh because no one knows if you are laughing because you found it funny, you know someone like that or you are literally the one being called out It's cathartic and therapeutic (don't quote me)
Nah this is the minority experience. Even I get this in Asia for being biracial; no matter my citizenship & how culturally in touch I am with my Asian side, I’ll never be viewed as one by others who are not mixed 🤷♀️
@@blue3374 you just think that because you're also a minority. But even the whitest people get treated like shit by other whites. Italians used to get shit for not been American for the longest. The Irish were not allowed in the same venues as Americans. There are signs from the Jim Crow era with "no dogs, no blacks, no irish" written on them.
Excellent. I laughed frequently, and especially hard at the “great, now *I’m* the fucking racist.” I really appreciate how this guy is so relatable to folks who are American but don’t get ID’ed as such because they’re not white.
It's funny you say that. I'm an American and my skin is white. I think of myself as white though I'm 1/4 native. This really messes up people's perception of me. In the US, people think I'm Eastern European. In Europe, people think I'm Slavic. In the Middle East, most people think I'm Arab, but a different type than they are - a lot of people think I'm Syrian, except Syrians think I'm Lebanese or Ukrainian. No one relates to me, even the people who are like me. I'm always "something else" or "not like them", even if I am like them.

@@carrickmchwain2296 Everybody is racist to some extent... The thing is... when a huge problem happened with something, then people view the whole thing as pure bad/evil and that it shouldn't be mentioned or it's wrong to be that way... Like, if an Asian film studio remade a film that had black people with Asian actors, people in America would be pissed because there is a huge history of racism here. But if the reverse happened, most of the people in the Asian would understand and be supportive, because they themselves do not have a history of being of being oppressed or their cultural heritage being washed.

Neighbour: your son’s wife is Chinese? Me: actually, she’s born in Vietnam but adopted in a French Canadian family as a baby. Neighbour: yeah the Chinese girl! Me: sure, the Chinese girl
To be fair…if she did genetic/ancestry testing, you might be surprised. My son’s dad escaped from Vietnam. He’d consider himself Vietnamese, but knew there was some Chinese ancestry too. If you study the history, you can see where there are links. Anyways…my son’s ancestral testing came back with higher percentage Chinese than any other southeast Asian ancestry. Despite his dad being “Vietnamese”. She could indeed be part Chinese. I get what you’re saying though, that people unfortunately assume, group people based on some features & don’t listen. That is frustrating.
@@Alphacentauri819 I have nothing against discussing ancestry. I’m Canadian, but I have Polish and Irish roots. That’s a whole other conversation. My daughter in law has a French accent and she is clearly québécoise French Canadian from the explanation I gave my neighbour, yet he still describes her as the “Chinese girl”. This happens a lot too. He’s not a bad guy, just a little ignorant.
@@kevinberger3501 yes, ignorant people everywhere. We all have been ignorant though,…but it can be easier to see in others. I’m adopted and I must say…please be careful with also just identifying her as where she was raised. That glosses over a huge layer of who she is. I’ve never felt like I belong. Although I smile and get along…I feel like I don’t really fit anywhere. A huge part is the adoption piece. It is a profound trauma…if you study the neuroscience and psychology. The science of the developing brain, bonding (attachment theory) etc, has grown astronomically in the last couple decades. She is likely a complexity of things, that is hard to define by one oversimplified label… Truly, all of us humans are categorized and oversimplified and a lot of it is incorrect (as it doesn’t fully represent who we are). Adoption can be a mishmash of grief (much unresolved) and hope, loss and hopefully love, and a myriad of other things. It’s not a nice, simple, packaged enterprise…but human lives, upended and changed forever. Yes, it’s lovely that people adopt, but it has always, always, come out of loss first. My heart goes out to your daughter in law. It wasn’t until my 40’s that I finally have gotten some awareness, answers, hope to the excruciatingly disruptive grief that came from the whole thing. It can have outreaching (and often invisible and the own person is unaware of where it’s coming from) effects. Many who haven’t been adopted ( and even those who have) have an overly simplistic and one dimensional view of adoption. Not only does it make them feel more comfortable, but it’s how it’s presented in society. We deal in a society that is so good at invalidating, covering up, and denying anything that feels complicated. It then is put in a “palatable” and “digestible” presentation, glossed over as “the best for everyone”. Anyways, your daughter in law is a Vietnamese adoptee, who was raised in French Canada, Canadian too…many other things that I’m sure she is. We all say things to simplify though.
What I like is that even though he knows he made a mistake, it's not a big deal and he didn't accuse him of racism or something like that. Which is what the comedian should've done.
lots of salvadorians in mexico because of the war but yeah honest mistake,white people still call MS-13 a mexican street gang because they use the border
@@grilledflatbread4692 It’s not always out of racism but it is for sure out of ignorance. It’s all about exposure. One of the most prominent Latino groups in the US is Mexico due to proximity and other factors. So it’s not THAT surprising that most people equate Latinos in general to Mexicans. But are we really going to pretend that, on the flip side, Latinos don’t also make sweeping generalizations like this as well? A prime example being how all Asians are mainly labeled as “Chinos”? Funny how that seems to be ignored and swept under the rug but stuff like this is magnified once it puts Latinos under the bus 🤔
I just went to Tijuana last week. This guy is not exaggerating at all. It was exactly as he describes. The best part of this is that I’m Mexican, and I was highly disappointed that they did not even looked at my documents. It felt weird that even at a fkin Walmart they check your ticket but not on my country. Going back it’s a different story, not that intimidating but definitely different
Idk how long Jimmy's been doing stand up for but I discovered him sometime during covid and he's probably in my top 3 favorite comedians. His delivery is always just so good
LMAO this was actually similar to my TJ experience. Going into Mexico, super easy, coming back to the US, this Asian border control dude kept hammering me with questions like what did I do there and what do you do for work, where do you live etc, meanwhile I see all these other people just passing through.
@@mariajason3547 obviously, if they have a Mexican passport. Most white Mexicans are wealthy, so I don't think the cross the border that often. They usually fly in and out of Mexico.
@C0mmand 0ption You assume things whether or not you're aware of it. It's simply impossible to ask everything for confirmation. You'll never get through your day.

@@gem455 i guess its just the feeling that the person who asks that, thinks all latinos are mexican, so some latinos could get offended by that (the same thing happens to asians lmao)
Yeah when I lived in Spain everyone asked me if I was Colombian or Peruvian. I didn’t care. 🤣 There’s a lot of jealousy and anger towards Mexicans because they are a powerhouse culture in Latin America. Oh well 🤷♀️
As a Korean, i watched Mexico Vs Korea in Mexican restaurant in LA, at morning. alone. I really appreciate to Mexican soccer players. u guys did great job.
As a Salvadorian trying to explain somewhat often to my paissa central and southern american people that there are other asian adjectives than "Chino." This made me crack TF up LOL!
3:40 That's story really sounds like something a real mexican or salvadorian would say. I mean, even a highly educated, very polite and cool latinoamerican with no bad intentions.
Absolutely! When Jimmy told that story I thought to myself: "Awww that man only wanted to be nice to him!" Latinos tend to make friends through random conversations with strangers 💞😂

Well obviously they want you out but don’t you want back in which is why they difficult even for united statians who are half asian, european, latinos/hispanic etc
It's not difficult if you have your documents and are not doing anything illegal. The thing is the waiting time to cross is a drag, typically crossing to the US you'll have a looong line of people because they actually check for your documents and sometimes even check your car, ask where you are going and for what reason, they look for something suspicious, whatever.. Crossing into Mexico there is almost never a line because they pretty much never check for anything.
Oh man, this brought back my border incident 24 or so years ago. The forty people in front of me are asked if they were a U. S. Citizen. When I get to the Border Patrol dude, "Were you born in the U.S.?" I proceed to get grilled for at least 40 minutes because I had to admit I was born in Korea. Haven't been back to Mexico since.
When I was 14 I went to Mexico with my mom and the church. Getting in we walked through the turnstiles that he’s talking about and if I recall correctly, we paid 25 cents. It was super easy and quick. Coming back to the US was an insanely long line where they did check IDs. I was just waved through along with my mom. The pastor’s wife is white but has a dark complexion. She was stopped and questioned and had her ID examined closely. I just remember being amazed as a teen at how easy it was to get in and how not so easy it is to come into the US.
This is facts. I remember working as an Account Manager with Costco as my account. Everytime I went to visit it would be like going through Airport security and even got turned away at times as a supplier!
This would have been so much funnier if he told a story about getting detained inside a Costco the same way: "It's easier to get into Mexico than a Costco. You just walk right in. And that's it. Now let me tell you about Costco...Sir, why did you lie to us about being a Costco member? This is a very serious offense." 10x funnier.
I'm from Madrid, Spain, and I can tell you in Spain you've got some accents you can't tell where they're from. Basque, Catalonian, Galician, Andalusian,...Those are wide territories in Spain, and within those territories they've got different accents; it's hard to tell them apart. Also hard af to distinguish an Argentinian accent from Chilean, Uruguayan, Paraguayan...I only can tell apart those very strong accents.
After 23 years of living in Queensland, I finally returned to my home state of Western Australia. Because Queenslanders were once thought to be rather parochial and suspicious of people from other states, I had a little running joke that I used to pull on West Aussies. I would tell them that after I had been in Queensland for 20 years, I got a letter from the state government that said that their records had shown that I had been a constant resident of Queensland for 20 years and if I wanted to stick around for another 20, they would let me call myself a Queenslander! You wouldn't believe how many of my fellow West Aussies would nod at what I had said and then ask, "So, what did you do?"
@@mr.whiskers3283 Yeah, I thought as much myself as I was typing that story. Even now, I can't think of any U.S. states that have anything akin to the weird relationship Queensland and Western Australia have with all of the other states. The closest thing I can think of is in a saying that, apparently, Texans have regarding New Mexico. "Poor New Mexico, so far from Heaven, so close to Texas!" It also ties in with a great Aussie tradition of 'having some on' - telling someone a story that is a complete lie, but told in such a convincing way that the listener is completely taken in by it. When I first told that story, I fully expected to get called on it, but people whole-heartedly believed me, so I kept on telling it. I am apparently, by any metric, a Master Bull Shit Artist!
This happened to me in France! I went on a European tour to England, Greece, Italy, France and was supposed to fly back to Chicago. I packed my Mexican passport and I didn't think to pack my green card because....why would I know this? lol So I had no issues traveling Europe with my Mexican passport but then I couldn't get back in the US because the French customs guy was like "this only proves you're a Mexican citizen" which fair enough but I was with a group of 50 American college kids, speaking english, accompanied by five very frazzled clearly American chaperones having a heart attack trying to not leave me behind in France. Luckily the plane couldn't take off without us because we were half of the plane so the staff had to call the Mexican embassy in Chicago to confirm I was legit and then they let me board. It was an ordeal. I'm a US citizen now but if you're reading this and traveling anywhere other than Mexico or Canada don't forget your green card LOL 🤣
Common sense??? WHAT'S THAT? 🤔The "lol" immediately following the "why would I know this" is a hint that I'm kidding. It's a silly story making fun of something a 17 year old would do....glad you enjoyed it lol Take care 🙃
I always think of the scene in We're The Millers, where they are just waving cars into Mexico at the border like it's a school zone, but stopping and fully checking like every car going into the U.S. lmao
This kid's real smart. He managed to explain a few strong and valid points and doing so in a very funny & very appealing to the audience ways. Good job.
I remember how intimidated I was as a child going through American customs. It was my first and only time so far going to America and we had to scan our fingers and it was all so cool and frightening. Also back then my English speaking capabilities where close to none. In Germany it is a lot easier (granted, I am a citizen) you just show your ID card and that`s basically it.
Lol this exact thing happened to me couple years ago when I went to Mexico as an American immigrant. You can literally just walk into Mexico but coming back into the United States was a nightmare
congratulations on your citizenship. ain't no easy feat. lot a hoops to jump through, and a lot of dough. my missus is from Chong Qing, she passed her citizenship test the first time through. very proud of her especially because her English is minimal and it's in the English language that the test is given
My partner and i actually did see an Asian family in Iceland and we knew right away that they were Americans. Grandpa and Grandma might have been first or second gen, but the kids were (no offence) American loud, and had an accent that even we, Icelandic and English respectively, could tell was Californian. And of course the whole speaking English to each other thing was a clue.
I am an American so are my kids. I was at the us-mexico border and it's super easy to leave the usa but coming back is a pain, huge long hours to wait and with 3 kids, it's a torture. Never going back to Tijuana ever.
I don't want to defend the INS agents, since I'm an American citizen born in the US, but my parents are from Mexico, so I'm a brown Mexican with a super Spanish name, so I also get hassled when trying to cross the border into the US, but part of the reason Jimmy probably got stopped is because there is actually a very significant Chinese population in Mexico, especially in Tijuana, so I imagine there's a lot of Mexican-Chinese people trying to cross illegally into the US.
He wasn't an American citizen, end of story. If he provided the proper documents to show he had a green card, then everything would have turned out fine. He literally lied to immigration officers, what did he expect?
I used to do the whole “I’m a U.S. citizen” thing then decided I didn’t want to talk to anybody so I just show them my driver license and that settles things. Gringo, I’m passing through whether you like it or not.
My parents are also Mexican but white white green eyes so eventhough I am a us citizen I never had an issue crossing the border just the very long lines.
This happened to me also. I’m Korean and I went to TJ with a bunch of friends, Hispanics, Blacks, and other Asians and they gave no one issues but me. They made me pay $200-300 to get some paperwork since I wasn’t a citizen. Few years later after I got naturalized, we went to TJ again with friends and the same thing happened. They let everyone go except me and asked me a bunch of questions, are you a citizen (yes) Were you born here, (no) when were you naturalized, (couple years ago) what city was your naturalization held. I just thought are you f*ing serious? I speak perfect English since I’ve been in the US since I was 2 yrs old and you’re only giving me issues??

Real talk I had to show my Costco ID 3 times, three separate interactions, to use the Restroom 😂 (they cleared me with the walkie talkie at the door too)
When I was 17 my friend and I visited her dad in Arizona.He wanted to plan a trip within our trip so it was between the Grande Canyon or Mexico.I was REALLY hoping for the Grande Canyon,but he decided Mexico.I had never traveled before and in my young naive mind I was picturing Cancun,but we went to Tijuana (not saying anything bad about Tijuana)just was NOT at all what I was expecting...anyway it took me well into my 30s thinking back how her dad took off & we finally found him going in & out of all the farmacias...Hmm wonder why he picked Tijuana lol.We literally waited for him to do his business,had a Corona & left 😆 It was definitely a cool experience especially being from NY & driving through the desert was awesome!

True comedy is making fun of others and yourself and not getting pissed about any of it. This was some good stuff.
I have the opinion that good comedy brings out petty and or superfluous differences between all and expose how petty and superfluous they are, all while in the safety of anonymity among the group
The more is likely you, the more you can laugh because no one knows if you are laughing because you found it funny, you know someone like that or you are literally the one being called out
It's cathartic and therapeutic (don't quote me)
To be fair Jimmy just described the American experience
Nah this is the minority experience.
Even I get this in Asia for being biracial; no matter my citizenship & how culturally in touch I am with my Asian side, I’ll never be viewed as one by others who are not mixed 🤷♀️
@@blue3374 you just think that because you're also a minority. But even the whitest people get treated like shit by other whites. Italians used to get shit for not been American for the longest. The Irish were not allowed in the same venues as Americans. There are signs from the Jim Crow era with "no dogs, no blacks, no irish" written on them.
@@kelvinfernandez4058 Yes. And thank you for pointing this out!

Excellent. I laughed frequently, and especially hard at the “great, now *I’m* the fucking racist.” I really appreciate how this guy is so relatable to folks who are American but don’t get ID’ed as such because they’re not white.
It's funny you say that. I'm an American and my skin is white. I think of myself as white though I'm 1/4 native. This really messes up people's perception of me. In the US, people think I'm Eastern European. In Europe, people think I'm Slavic. In the Middle East, most people think I'm Arab, but a different type than they are - a lot of people think I'm Syrian, except Syrians think I'm Lebanese or Ukrainian.
No one relates to me, even the people who are like me. I'm always "something else" or "not like them", even if I am like them.

Like, if an Asian film studio remade a film that had black people with Asian actors, people in America would be pissed because there is a huge history of racism here. But if the reverse happened, most of the people in the Asian would understand and be supportive, because they themselves do not have a history of being of being oppressed or their cultural heritage being washed.

Neighbour: your son’s wife is Chinese?
Me: actually, she’s born in Vietnam but adopted in a French Canadian family as a baby.
Neighbour: yeah the Chinese girl!
Me: sure, the Chinese girl
To be fair…if she did genetic/ancestry testing, you might be surprised.
My son’s dad escaped from Vietnam. He’d consider himself Vietnamese, but knew there was some Chinese ancestry too. If you study the history, you can see where there are links.
Anyways…my son’s ancestral testing came back with higher percentage Chinese than any other southeast Asian ancestry. Despite his dad being “Vietnamese”. She could indeed be part Chinese.
I get what you’re saying though, that people unfortunately assume, group people based on some features & don’t listen. That is frustrating.
@@Alphacentauri819 I have nothing against discussing ancestry. I’m Canadian, but I have Polish and Irish roots. That’s a whole other conversation. My daughter in law has a French accent and she is clearly québécoise French Canadian from the explanation I gave my neighbour, yet he still describes her as the “Chinese girl”. This happens a lot too. He’s not a bad guy, just a little ignorant.
@@kevinberger3501 It happens in life, sucks but hey ignorant people exist and it would be ignorant to try and change them.
@@kevinberger3501 yes, ignorant people everywhere.
We all have been ignorant though,…but it can be easier to see in others.
I’m adopted and I must say…please be careful with also just identifying her as where she was raised. That glosses over a huge layer of who she is.
I’ve never felt like I belong. Although I smile and get along…I feel like I don’t really fit anywhere. A huge part is the adoption piece. It is a profound trauma…if you study the neuroscience and psychology. The science of the developing brain, bonding (attachment theory) etc, has grown astronomically in the last couple decades.
She is likely a complexity of things, that is hard to define by one oversimplified label…
Truly, all of us humans are categorized and oversimplified and a lot of it is incorrect (as it doesn’t fully represent who we are).
Adoption can be a mishmash of grief (much unresolved) and hope, loss and hopefully love, and a myriad of other things. It’s not a nice, simple, packaged enterprise…but human lives, upended and changed forever. Yes, it’s lovely that people adopt, but it has always, always, come out of loss first.
My heart goes out to your daughter in law. It wasn’t until my 40’s that I finally have gotten some awareness, answers, hope to the excruciatingly disruptive grief that came from the whole thing. It can have outreaching (and often invisible and the own person is unaware of where it’s coming from) effects.
Many who haven’t been adopted ( and even those who have) have an overly simplistic and one dimensional view of adoption. Not only does it make them feel more comfortable, but it’s how it’s presented in society. We deal in a society that is so good at invalidating, covering up, and denying anything that feels complicated. It then is put in a “palatable” and “digestible” presentation, glossed over as “the best for everyone”.
Anyways, your daughter in law is a Vietnamese adoptee, who was raised in French Canada, Canadian too…many other things that I’m sure she is. We all say things to simplify though.
😂😂
To be fair though, if the dude pointed to himself when he said “Mexico, Korea, tomorrow” then it’s kind of his fault that Jimmy thought he was mexican
What I like is that even though he knows he made a mistake, it's not a big deal and he didn't accuse him of racism or something like that. Which is what the comedian should've done.
lots of salvadorians in mexico because of the war but yeah honest mistake,white people still call MS-13 a mexican street gang because they use the border
@@Aaron-zu3xn not really, they know it's a salvadorian gang that started in Los Angeles CA USA, you a clown assuming shit.
The racist thing is that white people in the West Coast seem to use "Mexican" for any Hispanic person. "Sorry I don't speak Mexican."
@@grilledflatbread4692 It’s not always out of racism but it is for sure out of ignorance.
It’s all about exposure. One of the most prominent Latino groups in the US is Mexico due to proximity and other factors. So it’s not THAT surprising that most people equate Latinos in general to Mexicans.
But are we really going to pretend that, on the flip side, Latinos don’t also make sweeping generalizations like this as well? A prime example being how all Asians are mainly labeled as “Chinos”?
Funny how that seems to be ignored and swept under the rug but stuff like this is magnified once it puts Latinos under the bus 🤔
I just went to Tijuana last week. This guy is not exaggerating at all. It was exactly as he describes.
The best part of this is that I’m Mexican, and I was highly disappointed that they did not even looked at my documents. It felt weird that even at a fkin Walmart they check your ticket but not on my country.
Going back it’s a different story, not that intimidating but definitely different

@@ADJackD what are you talking about? it was difficult for that guy because he lied about his American citizenship.
factsssssssssssssss
It's not difficult if you have your documents and are not doing anything illegal. The thing is the waiting time to cross is a drag, typically crossing to the US you'll have a looong line of people because they actually check for your documents and sometimes even check your car, ask where you are going and for what reason, they look for something suspicious, whatever.. Crossing into Mexico there is almost never a line because they pretty much never check for anything.
@@robertgarcia7024 yes, it takes time to check and profile drug carriers and mules.
Oh man, this brought back my border incident 24 or so years ago. The forty people in front of me are asked if they were a U. S. Citizen. When I get to the Border Patrol dude, "Were you born in the U.S.?" I proceed to get grilled for at least 40 minutes because I had to admit I was born in Korea. Haven't been back to Mexico since.

When I was 14 I went to Mexico with my mom and the church. Getting in we walked through the turnstiles that he’s talking about and if I recall correctly, we paid 25 cents. It was super easy and quick. Coming back to the US was an insanely long line where they did check IDs. I was just waved through along with my mom. The pastor’s wife is white but has a dark complexion. She was stopped and questioned and had her ID examined closely. I just remember being amazed as a teen at how easy it was to get in and how not so easy it is to come into the US.
This is facts. I remember working as an Account Manager with Costco as my account. Everytime I went to visit it would be like going through Airport security and even got turned away at times as a supplier!

After 23 years of living in Queensland, I finally returned to my home state of Western Australia. Because Queenslanders were once thought to be rather parochial and suspicious of people from other states, I had a little running joke that I used to pull on West Aussies. I would tell them that after I had been in Queensland for 20 years, I got a letter from the state government that said that their records had shown that I had been a constant resident of Queensland for 20 years and if I wanted to stick around for another 20, they would let me call myself a Queenslander!
You wouldn't believe how many of my fellow West Aussies would nod at what I had said and then ask, "So, what did you do?"
You explained everything succinctly for that punchline, but I think one needs to be Australian to fully get it.
@@mr.whiskers3283
Yeah, I thought as much myself as I was typing that story. Even now, I can't think of any U.S. states that have anything akin to the weird relationship Queensland and Western Australia have with all of the other states. The closest thing I can think of is in a saying that, apparently, Texans have regarding New Mexico. "Poor New Mexico, so far from Heaven, so close to Texas!"
It also ties in with a great Aussie tradition of 'having some on' - telling someone a story that is a complete lie, but told in such a convincing way that the listener is completely taken in by it. When I first told that story, I fully expected to get called on it, but people whole-heartedly believed me, so I kept on telling it. I am apparently, by any metric, a Master Bull Shit Artist!

This happened to me in France! I went on a European tour to England, Greece, Italy, France and was supposed to fly back to Chicago. I packed my Mexican passport and I didn't think to pack my green card because....why would I know this? lol So I had no issues traveling Europe with my Mexican passport but then I couldn't get back in the US because the French customs guy was like "this only proves you're a Mexican citizen" which fair enough but I was with a group of 50 American college kids, speaking english, accompanied by five very frazzled clearly American chaperones having a heart attack trying to not leave me behind in France. Luckily the plane couldn't take off without us because we were half of the plane so the staff had to call the Mexican embassy in Chicago to confirm I was legit and then they let me board. It was an ordeal. I'm a US citizen now but if you're reading this and traveling anywhere other than Mexico or Canada don't forget your green card LOL 🤣

End Killed me😂
I don't want to defend the INS agents, since I'm an American citizen born in the US, but my parents are from Mexico, so I'm a brown Mexican with a super Spanish name, so I also get hassled when trying to cross the border into the US, but part of the reason Jimmy probably got stopped is because there is actually a very significant Chinese population in Mexico, especially in Tijuana, so I imagine there's a lot of Mexican-Chinese people trying to cross illegally into the US.
He wasn't an American citizen, end of story. If he provided the proper documents to show he had a green card, then everything would have turned out fine.
He literally lied to immigration officers, what did he expect?
I used to do the whole “I’m a U.S. citizen” thing then decided I didn’t want to talk to anybody so I just show them my driver license and that settles things. Gringo, I’m passing through whether you like it or not.

When I was 17 my friend and I visited her dad in Arizona.He wanted to plan a trip within our trip so it was between the Grande Canyon or Mexico.I was REALLY hoping for the Grande Canyon,but he decided Mexico.I had never traveled before and in my young naive mind I was picturing Cancun,but we went to Tijuana (not saying anything bad about Tijuana)just was NOT at all what I was expecting...anyway it took me well into my 30s thinking back how her dad took off & we finally found him going in & out of all the farmacias...Hmm wonder why he picked Tijuana lol.We literally waited for him to do his business,had a Corona & left 😆 It was definitely a cool experience especially being from NY & driving through the desert was awesome!
3:54 he managed to insult me with 3 english words he knew 🤣🤣🤣🤣
People call all Asians Chinese and all Latinos Mexicans what’s new.
Nothing cause they’re the same thing
And Latinos call all caucasians "gringos" 😂 I guess it happens everywhere.

As a Slav I feel this lol. They don’t know till they see my last name, assume I’m from Siberia, and consider me a “wild card.” I show cops my hands because they assume I’m gonna steal their wallet
"steal their wallet" 😂
You'd be the bravest pickpocket if you pickpocketed a police officer
My guy how can you have the most vanilla first name and the slaviest last name? Who named you?
