A clip from the Daily Show

I saw this on TV a while ago, and I meant to put this up....



Aasif Mandvi weighs the situation and does a desi shoutout anyway on a Daily Show segment about the new immigration bill.

Stewart: You yourself were not born here, you were…

Mandvi: Brown? … But I’m from India. I’m tech support / cardiologist brown…

Audience: [Cheers…]

Mandvi: Shout out. Not dishwasher / parking attendant brown. And I say that with no disrespect…

Stewart: What is the [immigration bill’s] point system trying to accomplish? …

Mandvi: Assigning a point value will keep us from becoming a safety country. This is America, Jon, not Wesleyan… American has rebranded its immigration policy.

Stewart: And the new slogan is?

Mandvi: ‘What can brown do for you?’
