It's a double edged sword. There is sadly some intrinsic racism going around where the majority of whatever country you happen to live in will put you in a box the moment they hear your name and it is not a name that comes from their culture. So I kind of don't get why for example third generation immigrants who have never spoken the language of their grandparents and never went to their countries of origin are still given names that clearly label them as a descendant from outside. Especially if it is a known fact that a foreign sounding name might diminish your chances of finding an appartment or a job. Yes it sucks, but as long as this is the case, why burden your children with these names?

What's his email? Where does he live? I wonder what I would've done if I was in that class. I'm half-Asian with an "American" (technically Latin) name. I _hope_ that I would've said, "Oh, well I'm Asian, so I have to change my name too. I won't be Miranda. I'll be... Jayxerleigh (or something like that, very "Utah mommy blogger"). I hope you're okay with Jayxerleigh." And just. Constantly talked about how my American name was Jayxerleigh. Annoy the prof with it.

As someone who's always had "two names" my whole life, that last part of the video where he talks about the difference between surviving and living really got me. It's something that someone with a "western" name in a western country may never think about. But it does make a difference when you use your true name. When people make an effort of pronouncing it correct. Maybe it's time we start to live instead of just surviving.

The thing about survival in the end hit me. My dad has a difficult name to pronounce, and when I went back and looked at his yearbook from the 70s in NorCal they change his name in it to Herbert on some pages and Michael on others. He told me at jobs they would call him Mikey. And this may seem silly but on the Netflix loading screen our accounts are separated by name and his was under “Haruto” as a joke for years until around last year when I changed it to Humberto and I told him that his name deserves to be correct. It’s small, but his whole life he had to survive with American people saying things like “dumb Mexican can’t even spell his name right” (verbatim what he told me they’d say). My name has always been easy to pronounce, it’s something I definitely take for granted. I’ve noticed my dad using his real name in places with people he’s never met, and it makes me happy. My dad deserves to live too.

[@Kirby3585]

Just a tack on: My dad is indigenous, he was brought to America almost solely for that reason alone. So he’s darker and already couldn’t relate to “every other Mexican in California” at the time. His culture was different. His language was different. He was alone. He had to survive for us. He’s such a rad dude I’m so glad to have him.

[@nicolenice1863]

Humberto isn't that bad that. It's not super common but I've heard it before. Maybe cause I lived in Texas for a while but it doesn't seem like people should have any problem pronouncing that.

I’m not trying to sound ignorant but how is Humberto hard to pronounce? Is it not completely phonetic ? I’ve never heard the name before but I assume it’s said as it’s spelt ? (Keeping the h silent of course)

[@Kirby3585]

Shauna Kelly absolutely! It is mostly phonetic! And very easy to pronounce in the grand scheme of names, which is why it is so stupefying how people straight up refused to pronounce it correctly. They’d rather change his name then try to say it right, to them it wasn’t even worth the effort.

[@umangmalik]

@Jatin Bangar it's not the CAA in isolation, even though even in isolation it's not "no big deal" the exclusion of Muslims is extremely dangerous and the fact that the Act designates people by their religion at all is a matter of questionable constitutionality. The*real* problem, however, is the inevitable implementation of nationwide NRC, which combined with this would make it inordinately harder for Muslim immigrants and poor Muslim citizens to get/prove their citizenship. At which point you have a bunch of disenfranchised, non-citizen Muslims with not a lot of enforceable rights in a political climate where Muslims are demonized and dehumanized. What do you think will happen? #stopCAA #noNRC

[@umangmalik]

@Jatin Bangar there will still be people who deserve to be on the NRC who will be left out. (poor people with no generational wealth/home ownership are disproportionately left out of the census) Also, maybe we don't have to exclude anyone at all? Immigrants weren't really a problem in India before the BJP made it into one to drum up more communal sentiment (since the damn temple's being built now, so they can't use that.) We could just... Not let them do that? Let people exist?

@Jatin Bangar except that a lot of poor uneducated people do not own property and do not have proper documents. Doesn't mean they deserve to be rendered stateless.

[@umangmalik]

Okay you're moving the goalposts here. Your original point was that this was no big deal. Now you admit that the BJP's plan targets Muslims but only "illegal immigrants" and "terrorists". Anyway, here's the facts. 1. They do pay taxes. Income taxes are deducted from their checks. GST and other point of sale taxes are paid when they purchase goods. That's money that India is getting, without providing them with any of the welfare benefits that are only available to citizens. They are literally giving India free money. 2. They don't steal *our* jobs. They are employed in precarious, underpaid conditions. That cheap labour actually helps local economies, since citizens don't want to do it and someone has to. 3. "illegal" does not mean immoral. The law can be wrong. 4. Muslim citizens who are too poor to furnish the necessary proof of citizenship *can and will* be mislabeled. To suggest otherwise is wilful ignorance. 5. I have more. There are more recorded cases of cow vigilantism-related mob lynchings in India this year than they are of Islamic terrorism.

[@lmsalim]

I feel the name pronunciation bit so hard, especially with the parents generation. When my dad emigrated to America in the late 70s, he thought "Abdelrahman" would be too hard for Americans to say, so he chose another easier-to-pronounce grandfather's name for his surname, which he *still* chose to mispronounce to make it easier to say. That is now my surname, and that of my siblings, brothers kids, etc. and the whole family continues to mispronounces it the same way. When I went off to college and felt like I could have a fresh start in a new place, I started pronouncing my surname properly, and my immediate family thought it was pretentious of me. And this doesn't even begin to go into the mispronunciations I deal with my given name. I can't win. But I can appreciate Hasan's explanation of the generational thing @18:15. 1st gen immigrants worry about survival and assimilation. 2nd gen struggle with identity and want to re-assert our culture and languages.

I love The Office, but I have to agree - it’s a pretty depressing show. Remember when Michael showed up to the high school and didn’t have the college tuition he promised them? That just turned my world grey for a few days.

[@jenndpelaez]

Captain Magee that’s the pinnacle of cringe TV

[@ManubibiWalsh]

The Office was born as pretty much dark comedy. I mean, that’s just comedy in Europe and it isn’t even that dark, but for Americans it’s bleak and depressing. Kind of like Miracle Workers, except I feel Miracle Workers was being forced to have a happy ending. Which is fine, but the first few episodes are really funny BECAUSE they’re kind of dark. The last 2 episodes it’s like... yeah, ok. I don’t like it when a screenwriter has to pull a happy ending by the hair, but it was ok.

[@ManubibiWalsh]

@The Elite I don't think it's about Americans being particularly sensitive, I think it's that they're really rigid with genres. As for comedy needing to be dumb and light-hearted, I'm not mad about it. Sometimes I actually do appreciate stuff that just gives me time out from real life issues. Which is why I used to really love dramatic movies and stuff you might deem depressing, but now I don't. Reality is already ugly and depressing enough, I don't need to be depressed during escapism as well.

[@josh44026]

Its just part of the story

[@kissedbyfirewyrms7312]

Captain Magee I agree; that was a depressing episode that I still cringe to think about today. I like a dark comedy, though. The episode was a further illustration of how much damage a narcissistic person like Michael, who has a pathological need for approval (and very little ability to take responsibility for his actions), can do. It kind of reminded me of the series finale of “Seinfeld”. A lot of people hated it, but let’s face it, the characters were terrible people. We usually laughed at how awful they were, just like we usually laughed at Michael. Michael’s ineptitude at leadership and narcissism could be entertaining, but the depressing part was how much so many of us can relate to a history of terrible bosses or jobs. “The Office” was great because it was about finding the humor, camaraderie and small victories in life that make it worth living, in spite of the drudgery of adulthood.

An Episode on CAA and NRC! It's really REALLY needed right now!

[@zebraheem]

When he said that line about them tryna survive and him tryna live? I felt that.

[@gaudaddy]

Please talk about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and NRC in India. The entire county is burning right now

[@aneeshchandoke563]

he should but it will feel like repetitive for his audience. already talked abt modi and elections. also kyun gaali khae banda bekaar me?

[@AlokBajpai14287]

@@aneeshchandoke563 what do you mean bekaar mein? We'll get some entertainment out of that episode for sure!

[@sadabwasim9850]

He's doing it in next episode

[@s_h_61000]

He did... its on his IGTV

[@scarlet91210]

The dude did not look like Hasan but he was equally as hot...

😊but is this content hot? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ilhGt_qrCsftk

"People dying because of sneezing" This hits different now

Hasan please make an episode on CAA and NRC!

[@zaccn186]

IS THAT A 19 MINUTES DEEP CUT YESSSS!!!

[@AyeshaMalik]

The last 4 minutes of this video 😭

[@Qveenshxt]

@Ummi Yaacub commented this quote two months ago: “Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.” - Warsan Shire I have to say that what Hasan said and this quote right here really makes me want to use my full name. I've grown up with people saying my name wrong or calling me something else to make it easier on their tongue. I have so many nicknames from so many people and I've reached the point where I introduce myself with my nickname. A lot of these so called "friends" don't even know my real name. But my best friend? She knows my name and she uses it every day, even though I yell at her not to because it sounds weird hearing it when no one else says it. I secretly love her for not letting me forget that my name is my name and people who claim to know and love me should know how to say it correctly. Forget all the nicknames. My name is not Leia. It's not Lani. It's not Leila. It's not Lee-ain-ee or Leilani. My name is Lei-Ani. Lay to the Ah to the Nee. Put some respect on it.

[@itsmesasha8929]

Reading this makes me so happy. Thank you

[@ayushthumbarathy3961]

Ironical that your account name says "Lani Kiss".

[@glkglkglkglk9193]

Good for you girl

[@AnimalLover101195]

I have recently found deep cuts and thus I found my next thing to binge!!!

[@kf7647]

Please do an episode on Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

[@padmnabh3603]

Shayed he kare CAB pe!!

[@MegaRazzzz]

It would be awesome if he did but going by the amount of flak he got for his episode on Indian elections, he'll probably avoid it.

[@anabiyasaboor8]

17:14 I was very happy that he was Ellen show and he told her how to pronounce "Hasan Minhaj".

[@---GOD---]

This guy is hilarious LOL penicillin, iPhones, and bread bowls..

[@samanisingampalli9807]

The community in Deep Cuts is literally amazing-❤️

[@animeshsharma7642]

They shifted all the videos in the series from the Patriot Act channel to Netflix is a Joke. So all comments are gone.

[@NoriD89]

This deep cuts really hit deep! I loved the name correction because it hits home for most of us. To see someone of color living and not just surviving is heartwarming and inspirational. ❤️

[@kamrulislamshipo7649]

CAA,.You gotta talk about this bro.

[@MohammedOmer-gl5dj]

I was also thinking the same bro!

[@tripchaup1831]

It's tearing my state apart. We are in a midst of a civil war now. I feel so bad for my Muslim fellow bangalis now.

[@tesssailvi820]

He might mention it somewhere sometime but it's too early for a full blown episode. His research team will need time.

[@hazelgreen3707]

Yep and about uyghur, china too..

[@teachatot]

CAA plus NRC

[@tahiriperera2139]

What Hasan said about his name was so damn good man

[@jibraniqbal7830]

I hate that this show ended, and why no comments?

[@xiomara5147]

That last point was the absolute best! I was trying to clarify the difference in perspective between the first generation and the second, & Hasan nailed it: our parents are looking at the world through a surviving lens and we are trying to see the world through a living lens! 🤯

[@lilacrose9271]

Hasan, please do an episode on CAB please🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@NR-ns3sq]

This is hands down the best Deep Cuts made yet

[@eschatological]

My name's Alok, and everyone has called me Al my whole life. I ain't no Albert, bro, but the struggle is real.

[@fakhrussalhin3149]

Al Okay

[@bethanychatman9531]

Alok beautiful name

[@Ishatv16]

Hearing this I am scared to become an immigrant. Should I just not go. Because I just don't want to survive, I want to live. If you're an Indian who is an immigrant can answer my question, it would be of great help.

[@NicWalker627]

That's a pretty inspiring take on "Whats in a Name"

[@pspgoman9934]

No joke, a friend of mine killed someone after sneezing while driving around a corner. The whole thing was super sad.

[@makoslawyer2342]

Last time I was this early, Hasan was not an uncle.

[@amalzuhair4495]

mayy as come on he’s been playing the uncle moves for a few episodes now

[@reena3592]

Awesome deep cuts episode! I always love these, i feel like you get more of Hasan’s personality through this and how he actually thinks about things then through patriot act itself

[@ajcich2043]

This dude needs a segment every other show. OMG this is genius, and he's totally right about The Office

[@luqmaaanmohamed1255]

Absolutely amazing and real talk at the end. Fan boying and “just trying to live 💪” all the way from South Africa 🙏🙌 much love

[@nishanthn4927]

You should’ve asked him about flat earth... That’s the only thing that mattered....

[@Saadibaba]

Bring me what that alien guy is smoking I really need that

[@andersonneil2293]

That alien take was the least hot of hot takes. In the infinite universe, the probability of life existing outside of us is pretty high. That "apex predators are rare so it makes sense why bigfoot is rare", tigers are apex predators, we know they exist

[@andersenzheng]

@@andersonneil2293 yea. in an infinite and expanding universe, there could very well be a bigfoot. and why is earth so special that we wont have a bigfoot or two here.

[@Shaaan]

@@andersonneil2293 The Universe is expanding but not Infinite, there's no way if incase the Higgs boson theory is as we all believe it is accurate. Also even after reading about the Study by Students of Uni. of Texas who said that Its size cannot be bigger than 250 times.. I had to recalculate it to know its actually

[@andersonneil2293]

@@Shaaan infinite and expanding are not mutually exclusive. Honestly, the point still stands even if there is an edge to the universe. There are around 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, each galaxy has around 100 million stars. If the actual universe is 260 time larger, that means there are ~52,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. While not infinite, is significantly large enough for the statistical argument to still exist, though of course without the limit to infinity its not certain. But that is still just a single paper, so we dont actually know.

[@suprina18]

This felt like a whole Patriot Act episode omg

[@desiresdestined]

Hasan that name correcting story was so inspiring and resonated with me very strongly. I want to do stand up comedy but something about being an immigrant gets in the way. You are a huge inspiration, thank you.

Oh, I saw that episode of Ellen when it was fresh. I never realized that was the first time Hasan used his real name. That episode is so much more important now.

[@silvershogun9122]

That's right baby, say all the syllables! Love this.

I was not expecting that UC shout out. Literally watching this instead of going to sleep the night before spring semester starts

Respect for starting the proper foreign name pronunciation movement!
