    truth about mexicans

Transcript

Mexicans, they know how to take a joke. It doesn't matter if you just met them. They're gonna be laughing nonstop, and it could be the craziest joke of all time. And for them, a nickname is what you are. So if you're skinny, your nickname's Flaco. If you're fat, your name's Gorlo. And if you don't like the fact that they're calling you fat, then lose the weight. They don't live their lives around PC culture. They just do what's funny, and that's something I've always appreciated. Growing up here in California, we have had all these Mexican workers working for us, and it's just fun. They're great people. I love it. The way things are going with PC culture, it's not fun. You hate dealing with those people like, that offended me. That's offensive. I never met that with Mexicans. And so that's something that I appreciate. If you don't hang out with them, start hanging out with them because they're a heck of a time to hang out with.
