  • Do you guys like travelling?

  • Yeah, good, good.

  • I love travelling, too, and I was just in Florida performing stand-up comedy,

  • and I have to tell you, Florida is stuck in the '80s.

  • So, I had to tell them, you know, stop smoking indoors, stop blaring Phil Collins, and most of all, stop calling me "oriental woman..."

  • And start calling me "Japanese goddess."

  • Thank you.

  • Um, my mother in Japan is also stuck in the '80s.

  • She told me, "Yumi, I want you to remember this: behind every great man, there is a great woman. I want you to find a nice Japanese man, become a great wife, and become a great mother."

  • I listened to her very carefully and said, "Screw that."

  • And I moved to Canada.

  • And became a stand-up comedian.

  • So, I live in Vancouver now.

  • I love Vancouver.

  • Vancouver is a beautiful city, but nothing compared to Winnipeg.

  • Well, when I walk streets in Vancouver, lots of creepy white men come and ask me, "Konnichiwa, do you want to go for sushi sometime?"

  • I think it's slightly racist-- like, 75% racist.

  • Well, let me explain.

  • For example, when I see an attractive, let's say, a Mexican guy, would I go and say, "Ola, do you want me to help you pay for the wall?"

  • I wouldn't say that, because it's racist.

  • So maybe next time when I see a creepy white man comes to me, I would say, "Hey, you creepy white man with awkward social skills, with borderline autism, with halitosis, and funky body smell...

  • maybe you want to go to Japan and try to teach English there?"

  • Because that's what 75% of creepy white men do.
