  • This is something that happened to me in real life.

  • I told my friend, he didn't think it was funny.

  • I was at the gym on the treadmill, minding my own business.

  • And there was a Latino guy next to me and he went to go home, he threw his backpack on.

  • I guess it was slightly unzipped and three oranges flew out.

  • And I started laughing because in California, Latinos are known for having oranges and he did. Right?

  • And I told my friend he's like, "What's so funny about that?"

  • I'm like, 'He's Mexican. He had oranges in his backpack. That's funny."

  • He's like, "That's not funny. That's racist."

  • Oh, here we go again.

  • It's not racist.

  • I would have laughed if anything flew of anybody's backpack if it was culturally appropriate to that person.

  • He could have been Irish and three potatoes flew out of his backpack.

  • Right?

  • I'd have laughed at the potatoes.

  • He could have been, he could've been Hawaiian and three pineapples flew out of his backpack. I would laugh.

  • Every culture has a funny backpack.

  • That's why we're all equal. Right?

  • Italians.

  • We've got Italians here.

  • Italians?

  • What will come out of an Italian backpack?

  • Meatballs, maybe a handgun. It doesn't matter. It's funny.

  • Hey, forget about it. Huh?

  • Asians.

  • What comes out of an Asian backpack?

  • Textbook, COVID, whatever.

  • But everybody's got... don't laugh at that. Don't laugh at that.

  • We all have something we can joke about my dad's Middle Eastern.

  • What comes out of his backpack? Doesn't matter, run.

  • We'll figure it out later. Get the exit, exit, exit.

  • Find the nearest exit. Find the nearest exit.

  • Someone laughed way too hard at that one.

  • "I was thinking that."

  • We'll skip black so I can keep working. But everybody has a backpack.

  • Well, no. I'll tell you something interesting that happened.

  • I did a show in Las Vegas and I did all the cultures and I skipped black and a black dude in the front row goes, "Hey, you didn't do our backpack," and I go, "Well, yeah, I just, let's just move on, sir."

  • And he said something very insightful.

  • He said, "If you skip black people, then that's racist."

  • I'm like, oh, he's right. We're all the same.

  • We all gotta be part of the fun, but I'm still scared.

  • I said, "All right, sir, I'll say the backpack and you say what would come out of it."

  • He's like, "Bet." I'm like, "All right, what would come out of a black dude's backpack?"

  • He stood up and goes, "Yo, wallet."

  • He said that and he got a bigger laugh than I did that night.

  • I was offended.

  • But people like to have a good time and people like to joke around and that's why comedy is essential.

  • We just laughed at everybody today.

  • That's what we did.

  • Yes, we did.

This is something that happened to me in real life.
