“How dare you say out loud the exact thing that I’m thinking quietly.”
I feel like a good portion of the audience was still confused at the end. And you know exactly which portion
The portion that doesn't care about children with skin that isn't white.

It's like when you use your talking-to-pets voice to tell your dog he's an idiot
Mad Respect for this man.
The execution was 😙👌
Want to steal this man's look and do the same shit
This guy's absolute masterclass rhetoric trolling be like:
Wtf is that from? Is that Resident Alien?
From this show pretty sure. It's very hit and miss on the sketches for me, but the hits are worth sitting through the misses, goddamn hilarious.

He had 'em in the first half
This is why it's really important for white, cis men to be allies.
If you are a white, cis man and you are inspired by this man, please speak up. Those of us that are minorities can only push the boulder so far and we need voices that Republican (and unfortunately some Democrat) politicians will hear.
And things like this do way more than just the immediate apparent impact. Every time a white cis guy speaks out like this, it helps to break down the lie that this bigoted way of thinking is the majority.
