Cristela Alonzo - Pretending To Be Indian

[@montushah8856]

I am Indian, and Mexicans always confuse me for being Mexican, they come up to me and talk in Spanish or even ask me if i am from Mexico, and i have to explain i don't speak Spanish, and they're nice about it, they laugh it off and tell me "oh, sorry, i thought you were Mexican", and i kind of laugh it off too.
