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?’
