Someone's salty about being an iDrone. It's ok Romesh, you're a smart dude. Eventually you'll figure out how hard that company's bilking you and graduate from baby's first smartphone.
It's funny, but having to remember that people see you as a 'representative' of some minority demographic you happen to be part, is actually quite stressful. When someone is trying to treat you like a mug or unfairly, you can't be seen to be annoyed if feeling angry because you will come off worse and whatever demographic you represent looks bad and it perpetuates the negative views of the group.
the beginning is sooo accurate 😂😂 as a black woman I feel like I have to be on my best behavior every time I meet a whitey cause I need to represent my people
Is it really so hard for you to just behave in a civilized manner though? Notice how people of our race who behave badly get criticized by our community to hell and back. Your own mother will turn traitor on you if you are a pasty-faced criminal. Yet in your community it's all "he was a gud Boi!" And "dey keelin us!" If your community woke up and realized that supporting their own criminal elements purely on the grounds of race is a losing position in the long term, you wouldn't need to be an "ambassador." Because we could all just be friendly, civilized people together. We police our own, it's why we ran the world for so long, now you guys need to learn it too.

I think part of the joke is that the argument is usually made in the other direction, that Apple fan boys are mocked for being snobs. Mocking Samsung users in a similar tone is unexpected, and therefore funny. Of course any brand loyalty taken to an extreme is worthy of ridicule. It's silly to define yourself by what phone you choose to buy.
The Android vs IPhone discussion is silly. Because it is an every brand vs apple discussion. More apt is samsung vs apple vs huawei vs motorola vs ... etc
I could not have a more diametrically opposed experience with iPhone and Android users. iPhone users will literally not talk to an android user just because the text bubble is a different color. It's insanity.
I don't even know what you are talking about. I have an android phone and I don't think I know anybody with an iphone. I didn't know there was any difference to sms bubbles, apart from sender and reply.
@@mogznwaz I would argue that when you are dealing with such large numbers of people it is reasonable to make generalisations about culture & religion etc. But I a far more skeptical about the benefits of immigration in general. I'm not sure immigration policy should be dictated by the demands of capital. I think capital should be dictated to by democratic nationstates. Businesses are always going to want significant immigration in order to keep wages low and provide labour & customers. But what is good for them isnt necessarily good for society.
@@mogznwaz I'm more of an ethno-nationalist myself. And I don't think it is a good idea to have immigration based on ability / education. That would end up with a situation in which the settlers are "better" than the natives and will create its own problems. Just look at how well those of Hindu background now do in politics, banking, medicine etc etc. It is a bad idea to create ethnic divisions within a national territory. And it is even worse when one group significantly outperforms others. As an ethno-nationalist if there is going to be immigration I would rather it were the most backward, antagonistic and unassimilable people possible. That way at least the native population have a chance at survival
Saw a chap walking about with a 2 year old while on his phone. He hadn't realised his son had picked a big bunch of Euphorbia. Obviously I warned him that the sap can cause a rash and if it got in his eyes he could be blinded for a couple of weeks. He took him to the toilet to wash off.

If it comes up that much in his daily life for being a minority it's almost certain to become a part of the act even if race doesn't come up in many of the majority's day to day. Also generally the more controversial a topic is, the easier it is to make content out of. Can't do UKIP material if there's no UKIP.
