[@has3219]

hasan the first brown comedian that doesn't try to shun their heritage. You can tell its important to him. I always felt like aziz ansari and mindy kaling were super hard to get behind because, the fact that they were south asian didn't seem important to them.

[@Jehuty999]

Those two are pretty white washed. I have seen Aziz Ansari in New York a few times, (Queens to be exact) and he always has an entourage with him kissing his ass and pines for attention from strangers.

Everything is through dreams. God forbid you dream about someone, it might mean that something bad is going to happen to them.

[@abunn72]

One thing I love about being raised in the tri-state area and the dmv...and also being open minded...is how diverse my group of friends are and how much culture I've been exposed to...music, movies, song, comedy, dance, books, art, clothing, architecture, superstitions and most of all food and drink. Closed minded people don't know how much awesome shyt they're missing out on.
