Transcript

I met a Mexican guy yesterday who explained how all throughout his life, he's like 40 something now, he's always tried to date whiter and whiter and whiter. I've like after every girlfriend he tried to date someone even whiter than the last one and now he feels that he's won because he married my friend who's a white American woman and they both kind of like were happy about it. So who am I to you know, shit on your parade? You should be happy that you married a white person. I guess. It's weird. It's weird. And then in the same breath he's like, yeah, the state of Yucatan is super racist. Like, there's a disconnect somewhere.
