Here is the thing about Bill… he is the smartest person in the room with the sharpest tongue and can make anyone uncomfortably laugh with his humor. He knows how to dissect a person, and create the most awkward situations and either leave them awkward, or make everyone laugh. He is a true master of the comedic craft, especially when it comes to race. He knows he’s an awkward white dude from Boston, and doesn’t have any business saying some of the things he does, but he says them in such a way that it makes you think. He’s amazing.
Dayum you actually summarized that really well, I couldn't agree more. You just never see him flustered ever in interviews or in "awkward" situations like you put it, he just really is a master of the comedy in every sense even off stage. Damn i sound like a fanboy but he's just the goat.
Totally agreed. For example, the sip of water when he mentions Hitler is very intentional, giving the audience plenty of time to let it sink in. He has this ability to make an entire crowd go from "wait, what did he say?" to "he's making a lot of sense" in a matter of minutes.
y’all giving bill too much credit lol. Bill knows who he is and accepts who he is and doesn’t try to put on an image or anything. That’s why he’s great. Go listen to his podcast. He’s in awkward situations and gets mad and flustered about 20 times a day lol
He is not an asshole he calls it as he see's it, and spits truth. Speaking the truth doesn't make you an asshole, just being an insufferable person makes you an asshole.
Its like this MrLboyd had it in for Bill before even watching his comedy sketch ! I thought Bill was right on the mark > the reality is blacks attack whites or other blacks its something like 40-1 than a white will prey on a black. But anyone says any different then the WOKE will ruin you > YOUR CANCELED , SHUNNED AS A RACIST , PACK UP YOUR DESK AND YOUR EMMY YOUR FIRED !
The guy was surrounded by some of the greats of comedy when he rose up, and frequently toured with the best black comedians in the business. The way he addresses racial humour is so on point, he pushes right up to the line but always wraps it up in a way that makes you think. Hands down my all time favourite comedian.
Bill Burr really is a phenomenon. When I first saw some of his clips I was like: "Man, that shit he just said is so out of line...what the hell is this?" and 5 seconds later I was holding my belly and almost wet my pants laughing. And the more you see of his stuff you realize he is riding on whatever stereotype, prejudice, cliche or moral inadequacy human personality possibly has to offer. And every so often you (hopefully) notice that there is a big fucking mirror being held in front of you and you realize: "I, myself, am not free from all that, I was just too ignorant or blind to see it." The environment we grow up in shapes our views and beliefs and that unfortunately often includes negative energies that keeps us apart. Human beings live in the dichotomy of being different while coming from the same source, all of us. Our task in life is to acknowledge and respect our differences and realize the greatness of the cosmic spring that put us in this earthly playground.
I got two more for you. Neal Brennan, who co-created Chappelle's show with Dave Chappelle. And Gary Owen, a white dude who won the "Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego" contest in the mid/late 90s, not sure what year. Apparently that's true. I don't know how it happened but it's true.
Are you excluding George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinnison, and Bill Hicks strictly because they are dead or because you are not familiar with them? I love Bill but his act doesn't exist without several groundbreaking acts that came before him. Plus, currently alive and working today, Louis C.K is just as good at it as Bill. Hell, he was head writer for The Chris Rock show back in the day and that show was hilarious.
@@matthewfifer6885 Your aesthetic measures are your own. Bill Burr is better than any of the names you mentioned. IMO. Out of all of them, Carlin is the only one that is funny. And his humor is more political. His race humor is kind of not good and based on old stereotypes. Which is only natural. But it still is not amusing.
I am a white guy who went to an ALL BLACK church in Charlotte NC. I love everyone of them like my own parents and siblings. They DID NOT like the term African-American either. I'm glad to have been taught why. There were MANY of them that were from many countries in the Caribbean, and South America, so they were NOT from Africa! They always said "We're black, NOT African".
ive met plenty of black people in my life but only one African American person. He was my college English professor named professor ngenge and he was African born and English was his 5th or 6th language.
Preach! If you were born and raised in America you are an American. The color of your skin is meaningless. In my line of work I've met plenty of actual Africans, mostly Nigerians, who were also awesome people. (None of them were princes trying to give me a million dollars though. Weird.)
@@nightbane727 That's awesome. I am so envious of the multi-lingual who were likely exposed to all the languages during childhood so they could just absorb it all. My old man brain just can't do it anymore.
Bill Burr has worked with Dave Chapelle for YEARS, was on the Mandalorian, has a black wife of 15 years, and really does a great job of addressing issues with intelligence and just enough crass to jot come across preachy
If you have it in ya, Bill Burr's roast of the entire city of Philly to their faces for 10 minutes straight is probably the most epic thing he's done. And that shts hilarious!
I'll be honest, that bit is probably one of the weakest he does due to how dated it is. I have a feeling if he had a chance to rewrite it, it would be much more epic than it is. It's good comedy, but it's far from "Amazing" when it comes to Mr Burr. Please, I am not in any way trying to disrespect your opinion or his talent as a comedian, but this is definitely one of the "early" bits and it shows, especially if you see it after stuff like "White Guilt" "There's no reason to hit a woman" and "black friends, clothes and Harlem"
I'm half Afro-American, and Italian American. My wife is Soux native. Between you me and my wife. She's the only "American" Being Something /American is not a slight against you, it's something you should be proud of. Our ancestors built this country, whether you like it or not. Built by force, and our ancestors took freedom by peace.
I mean it proves selective breeding was right you get the most strongest healthy attractive intelligent men and most attractive intelligent and strongest women and breed them for a few generations and it strengthens the genepool to get something better. Hitler wanted to do it to make a superior white race, the whole thing was kind of forced, everyone is embarised by it because it's exclusive. Imagine a truly world wide experiment using volunteers who were incredibly accomplished in their fields with minimal negative traits and they would breed them together ongoingly for 4-5 generation what those humans could achieve am truly interested to see.
I am not so young male, not living in the USA, and for all my life i heard that comedians had timing and i had no idea what they were talking bout You explained it to me today. Thanks.
@@kevinathans4191 there can be duality in what people acknowledge as their ethnicity. You can be American and AA. One in the same. One isn't intended to overshadow the other. It's used for descriptive purposes.
The world needs Bill Burr. He can be honest about things that others agree on but are too uncomfortable to say, mainly with race. He blasts down walls of perceptions with simple truths
I like how he brought the “quick twitch slow twitch” bit full circle. He started off talking about a white commentator and then by the end he has explained where that white commentator came from: a former athlete who couldn’t compete with the black dudes. He says that the sprinter has now blown out his knee and is now in the commentator’s booth.
Yeah, you are correct, he is a legend out of Boston. He became extremely popular during a comedy festival in Philadelphia where the crowd was being shitty to the comedians. He came out and refused to do his act and instead just roasted Philly off the top of his dome for like 20 minutes plus. It was insane for a free flowing comedic attack
"Seven more minutes. Seven more minutes of this shit you motherfuckers....." The crowd goes from booing to applauding! Philly is a rough crowd and he turned them around by insulting them. Philly may be the baddest but Boston put out the brightest.
Bill Burr is unmatched at seemingly painting himself into a corner and then skillfully walking his way out of it. He knows exactly where the line is, spends minutes straddling it, and then convinces you he's about to slip and fall onto the wrong side before he cartwheels back.
There is something so humorous to me about watching black creators watch white comedians or just white people in general talk about black people. It gives me faith that the race card is beginning to deteriorate as we face the same issues :D It was great seeing your reactions to what Bill Burr says being just as dank as mine. Loved the video, and subscribed. Much love man
@@brothermouzone1307 Honestly have no clue what a race hustler is. It's just nice to see people of different colour chuckle at the same ridiculous things. Breaks down that barrier for all :) Humor is a great equaliser.
He, Bill Burr is married to an American Woman who is black. It's just his style. Like Dave Chappell he really just wants to be funny, people getting offended be damned. He is never really distasteful or disrespectful to anyone, he just wants people to find comedy in real life events.
Bill Burr is by far my favorite comedian, he just doesn't miss. Super interesting guy to listen to on his podcast too. He has clips out of arguments with his wife Nia (who is black) or them discussing things that are so hilarious. They are super funny together when they argue about something. Cheers for another comedy reaction, they're great.
You need to do more Bill. Check out his clothes and Harlem bit. And just FYI, Bill is married to a black woman and his best friend was comedian Patrice ONeal.
Why not go straight to Bill Burr's videos instead of listening to this clown. He doesn't know what comedy is. No wonder America has so many racial problems. This guy is useless.
Bill wants us to laugh at the obvious subjects that need to be laughed at now and then. I love when he says" did you see how quiet it just got in here"!! He brings out what many want to say but he has the balls to bring it out AND have you laugh at it!! The best at putting a mirror to society since George Carlin....Maybe watch more of his bits...good stuff
Yeah Trump had the balls to be a racist prick too and you guy’s rewarded him with the presidency…smh. Those people who got beaten or died on January 6th should really thank you for your excellent judge in character.
Hmmm..so I'm of asian descent and am referred to as Asian American, my friend is often called a Mexican American or Hispanic. Just never bothered me. How are other people supposed to know what is preferred? So there are only 2 types of Americans then? Black and white? Nobody else counts I guess.
@@almccue7176 The term [nationality]-American is supposed to refer to a naturalized citizen from the country of [nationality] (or [continent]). Your self-described "of Asian descent" is the correct qualifier for you if born in the US. The abuse of hyphenated-American is calculated to drive a wedge between us. "How are people supposed to know what is preferred?" If the person you're talking to hates America, he prefers the more devisive term. Otherwise the more accurate, specific, proper, and applicable term is preferred.
Thing you might find interesting about Bill is one of his best friends he most adored who passed away was a heavy set black comedian named Patrice O'Neal who was legendary. You should check him out if you haven't already
I love your first take- it's pretty much the same I had when I first saw him. He was on Conan O'Brien making fun of fat people on planes. I was so angry and repulsed it took a long time to get down from that. Since then he has kinda grown on me and I think he's one of the best.
Not everyone is as expressive as everyone else, doesn't mean he didn't enjoy. Just thought I'd put that out there. And there is also no reason why he can't just enjoy the genius of Bill Burr's comedy.
Bill Burr is great!.. He says the ignorant thing, then turns it around to show that all sides do the ignorant thing.. he even made the mandalorian take off his mask, give this guy an oscar
You strike me more as "thoughtful/pensive". Discovered you from your Dimash episodes! Your smile says this is funny, but your eyebrows' are not so sure!😑👍
Never met an "African" who called themselve "African" people refer to their country not their continent. I am Nigerian 🇳🇬 I am Ghanaian 🇬🇭 I am Egyptian 🇪🇬 I am Tunisian 🇹🇳 etc... After that you narrow it down to the city, town or village. Bill Burr like most comidians is an insightful guy.👍
When he mentioned that he had an Emmy, I realized he is talking about himself, Bill Burr is awesome, pure comedy, he's married to a black woman, youtube vids with him talking about her, fucking hilarious. I lived in Boston for 13 years, he's got that New England attitude, I think he's from western mass originally
Bills wife adds to his comedic spectrum in a way that is cross culture,race,sex and he delivers to non bias audiences flawlessly for humans out seeking a huge laugh
A fellow TH-camr, a black guy -- I can't remember his name -- is as impatient as you are understated. In one of his videos, he yelled at his camera, "Don't call me African-American! Charlize Theron is African-American!" Which is literally true. She's a farm girl from South Africa. She spoke only Afrikaans (a dialect of Dutch) until she started getting modeling jobs as a teenager.
Jessie Owens is a legend...4 gold medals in the 1932 Olympics...put Hilter to shame and made him leave with disgust that a black American was kicking the ass of the superior race..lol..true story...
I grew up in a city that is majority melonated skinned people. The first true African-American I ever was a pale pasty white dude with a British accent from Zimbabwe. His family fled when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and hunted down former members of the government or military. It was similar to South Africa’s history. I’ve had 4 friends from countries in Africa, and none of them liked that term for melonated people born in America. They’ve found it equivalent to cultural appropriation of Sudanese, Rewandan, or South African historical suffering. I have no dog in that fight, but I’ll side respectfully with my friends with real reason to have an opinion. Thanks for the great content. Just started watching your videos and glad I’m subscribed to see more.
With Bill Burr I get my beer and just enjoy every second. No matter how offensive he gets. And he is not the only one. Everyone who gets "offensive", black or white, I love it.
Bill Burr took over George Carlin’s role or being the 1 comedian that had the balls to say the quiet bit out loud. Carlin took it over from Rickels. Every generation has that one guy that is t afraid to say it like it is … and make us all laugh our asses off and seriously think at the same time. These people are absolute geniuses!!!
Bill Burr is at heart a self-deprecating [genius] comedian. The reason he gets away with exposing uncomfortable truths is he rags on himself as much as he rags on anyone or anything else. This balance is perfect and his timing, as you note, is perfect.
To the people that like to say, "I hate being referred to as African-American", do you think the world would butt an eyelid for a Chinese-American who says he hates being referred to as Chinese-American. The world will continue calling him Chinese-American, just as the world would continue calling a European-American a European-American his preferences notwithstanding! Live with it. Back to the main topic, Bill Burr is a very talented comedian. His delivery is perfect.
Jesse owens in his own biography wrote that hitler wasnt even there that day, and that it was his own president that refused to shake his hand. Jesse also said hitler sent him a commerative medal and plaque, and commented how how athletically superior blacks were. Hitler respected jesse owens.
Guess this clip was your first time listening to Bill, I watched your more recent and you went from calling him an asshole to I love this guy lol. Love your channel man keep it up
Yes..American of African descent, or American of Italian descent, etc... we all have the privilege of being "American" while still being able to honor our heritage. That's what this country is all about. Of the many, ONE! Don't let the power base divide us!
I love it when black people reject the term African American. When I look at you, sir, I see a fellow American. ❤ And I say black because it isn't a bad thing to be.
Why is it, that whenever TH-camrs do a reaction video they OFTEN say; “I never saw this before” “this is my first time I’ve seen this” & “I have never heard of this person” !?
I’ve enjoyed your music breakdowns, was hoping to see your personality a little more on this kind of stuff. But I can respect stoicism at the same time…..it was good to see a few smiles.
I know a WHITE GUY that was born and raised in South Africa and later moved here and became an American citizen. HE is the ONLY African American that I have ever met.
I'm a white dude that has short fused many a black, Asian, or whatever flavor person by calling myself European American and not white. "You are NOT European American, you're WHITE!", is the standard reply. It actually pissed off a lot of people that aren't white and many that are. My thoughts are that true Americans, genetically, are the from local indigenous bloodlines. African American. European American. Asian American. Polynesian American. We're all imposters IMHO, and should properly identify ourselves IF political correctness actually matters. (Political correctness is just silly)
"Black friends, clothes and harlem"
"White guilt"
"No reason to hit a woman"
"Being a mother isn't the hardest job"
Yes to all of them!
Black friends, clothes and Harlem has to be next! Especially since he's from NYC
This, that, and the other…spot on.
ALL. OF. THESE!!
Even in that order is legendary!

Dayum you actually summarized that really well, I couldn't agree more. You just never see him flustered ever in interviews or in "awkward" situations like you put it, he just really is a master of the comedy in every sense even off stage. Damn i sound like a fanboy but he's just the goat.
The clips of him and his wife are the best
Totally agreed. For example, the sip of water when he mentions Hitler is very intentional, giving the audience plenty of time to let it sink in. He has this ability to make an entire crowd go from "wait, what did he say?" to "he's making a lot of sense" in a matter of minutes.
y’all giving bill too much credit lol. Bill knows who he is and accepts who he is and doesn’t try to put on an image or anything. That’s why he’s great. Go listen to his podcast. He’s in awkward situations and gets mad and flustered about 20 times a day lol
You hit 2 key observations: "This guy's an asshole" and "He must be an accomplished comedian". Bill Burr is one of the greats!

You need to do more Bill. Check out his clothes and Harlem bit. And just FYI, Bill is married to a black woman and his best friend was comedian Patrice ONeal.
Why not go straight to Bill Burr's videos instead of listening to this clown. He doesn't know what comedy is. No wonder America has so many racial problems. This guy is useless.
Bill is so funny. 😂😂🤘 he's a awesome dude. Please do more of his stuff 🖤
My favorite Bill Burr moment is when he went through Harlem. Being from Harlem, it was spot on and hilarious.
Bill wants us to laugh at the obvious subjects that need to be laughed at now and then. I love when he says" did you see how quiet it just got in here"!! He brings out what many want to say but he has the balls to bring it out AND have you laugh at it!! The best at putting a mirror to society since George Carlin....Maybe watch more of his bits...good stuff
Yeah Trump had the balls to be a racist prick too and you guy’s rewarded him with the presidency…smh. Those people who got beaten or died on January 6th should really thank you for your excellent judge in character.
Thank you for standing up and just being an "American". This is a point I had when I was in grade school and I am 40 now and have always said this.
Hmmm..so I'm of asian descent and am referred to as Asian American, my friend is often called a Mexican American or Hispanic. Just never bothered me. How are other people supposed to know what is preferred? So there are only 2 types of Americans then? Black and white? Nobody else counts I guess.
@@almccue7176 The term [nationality]-American is supposed to refer to a naturalized citizen from the country of [nationality] (or [continent]). Your self-described "of Asian descent" is the correct qualifier for you if born in the US. The abuse of hyphenated-American is calculated to drive a wedge between us. "How are people supposed to know what is preferred?" If the person you're talking to hates America, he prefers the more devisive term. Otherwise the more accurate, specific, proper, and applicable term is preferred.
Need more of this right away, best stand up comedian ever in my opinion
I love Bill! One of my favorite skits has to be "Losing yer ish, marriage etc". It's sooooo funny to me! So accurate!
Thing you might find interesting about Bill is one of his best friends he most adored who passed away was a heavy set black comedian named Patrice O'Neal who was legendary. You should check him out if you haven't already
I'm Kenyan, and even I know Bill. And I'm only 20 years.
Black friends clothes and Harlem is the right choice to follow
You can’t go wrong reacting to any of Bill Burr but if you want some savage legendary truths then you gotta watch Philadelphia rant! It’s epic lol
Man talks about everything. He has no fear. His wife is like a black female copy of him. 🤣
As an Afro-American I love Bill Burr
I love your first take- it's pretty much the same I had when I first saw him. He was on Conan O'Brien making fun of fat people on planes. I was so angry and repulsed it took a long time to get down from that. Since then he has kinda grown on me and I think he's one of the best.
Yeah, Boston accent. Just a Towny.
I enjoy watching reaction videos to Burr's comedy, but this host is a downer with an attitude problem.
I don’t think this dude thinks any of this is funny cracked a smile one time
Not everyone is as expressive as everyone else, doesn't mean he didn't enjoy. Just thought I'd put that out there. And there is also no reason why he can't just enjoy the genius of Bill Burr's comedy.
@@RS-fy9hb Don’t get your panties in a bunch I can have an opinion & Make a comment
@@ksdthehammer1284 Never said you couldn't, but the same goes about my opinion about your opinion 😂. Don't get so defensive.
I love comedians who not only stretch so called boundaries but often times smash them bill bur is one them
Bill Burr is great!.. He says the ignorant thing, then turns it around to show that all sides do the ignorant thing.. he even made the mandalorian take off his mask, give this guy an oscar
You sir, are an overly sensitive, angry man. I feel sorry for you.
You strike me more as "thoughtful/pensive". Discovered you from your Dimash episodes! Your smile says this is funny, but your eyebrows' are not so sure!😑👍
When you watch a comedy skit and don't realize literally every word he is saying is a joke
100%.
Never met an "African" who called themselve "African" people refer to their country not their continent.
I am Nigerian 🇳🇬 I am Ghanaian 🇬🇭 I am Egyptian 🇪🇬 I am Tunisian 🇹🇳 etc...
After that you narrow it down to the city, town or village.
Bill Burr like most comidians is an insightful guy.👍
When he mentioned that he had an Emmy, I realized he is talking about himself, Bill Burr is awesome, pure comedy, he's married to a black woman, youtube vids with him talking about her, fucking hilarious. I lived in Boston for 13 years, he's got that New England attitude, I think he's from western mass originally
Bills wife adds to his comedic spectrum in a way that is cross culture,race,sex and he delivers to non bias audiences flawlessly for humans out seeking a huge laugh
"I don't like that African American shit, I'm American" you just earned another subscription.
A fellow TH-camr, a black guy -- I can't remember his name -- is as impatient as you are understated. In one of his videos, he yelled at his camera, "Don't call me African-American! Charlize Theron is African-American!" Which is literally true. She's a farm girl from South Africa. She spoke only Afrikaans (a dialect of Dutch) until she started getting modeling jobs as a teenager.
Burr is raw and honest and one of the very best!
Jessie Owens is a legend...4 gold medals in the 1932 Olympics...put Hilter to shame and made him leave with disgust that a black American was kicking the ass of the superior race..lol..true story...
I'm a Caddo man, native, some years ago my son had a shirt which said, "UNHYPHINATED AMERICA"
I grew up in a city that is majority melonated skinned people. The first true African-American I ever was a pale pasty white dude with a British accent from Zimbabwe. His family fled when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and hunted down former members of the government or military. It was similar to South Africa’s history. I’ve had 4 friends from countries in Africa, and none of them liked that term for melonated people born in America. They’ve found it equivalent to cultural appropriation of Sudanese, Rewandan, or South African historical suffering. I have no dog in that fight, but I’ll side respectfully with my friends with real reason to have an opinion.
Thanks for the great content. Just started watching your videos and glad I’m subscribed to see more.
With Bill Burr I get my beer and just enjoy every second. No matter how offensive he gets. And he is not the only one. Everyone who gets "offensive", black or white, I love it.
Bill Burr took over George Carlin’s role or being the 1 comedian that had the balls to say the quiet bit out loud. Carlin took it over from Rickels. Every generation has that one guy that is t afraid to say it like it is … and make us all laugh our asses off and seriously think at the same time. These people are absolute geniuses!!!
Thanks young brother. Your voice is smooth like chai, & BB is funny a f! I've been sick. Feeling better!!
Bill Burr is at heart a self-deprecating [genius] comedian. The reason he gets away with exposing uncomfortable truths is he rags on himself as much as he rags on anyone or anything else. This balance is perfect and his timing, as you note, is perfect.
Guys Bill is like in the top 10 best stand-up comedians to ever live.
Nice breakdown. I never realized his 2nd level of timing until you pointed it out.
I'm new to your channel and I saw you watching other Bill Burr video and I'm glad you like him 'cause he is legend.
To the people that like to say, "I hate being referred to as African-American", do you think the world would butt an eyelid for a Chinese-American who says he hates being referred to as Chinese-American. The world will continue calling him Chinese-American, just as the world would continue calling a European-American a European-American his preferences notwithstanding! Live with it. Back to the main topic, Bill Burr is a very talented comedian. His delivery is perfect.
Jesse owens in his own biography wrote that hitler wasnt even there that day, and that it was his own president that refused to shake his hand.
Jesse also said hitler sent him a commerative medal and plaque, and commented how how athletically superior blacks were.
Hitler respected jesse owens.
"This guy is an asshole, I like it" is the best way to describe Bill 😂
Bill is GOATED. Real talk he’s on his way to Carlin levels, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chapelle. Bill is top tier.
Guess this clip was your first time listening to Bill, I watched your more recent and you went from calling him an asshole to I love this guy lol. Love your channel man keep it up
I loved your "I'm American" statement. That was nice man.
Yes..American of African descent, or American of Italian descent, etc... we all have the privilege of being "American" while still being able to honor our heritage. That's what this country is all about. Of the many, ONE! Don't let the power base divide us!
I love it when black people reject the term African American. When I look at you, sir, I see a fellow American. ❤ And I say black because it isn't a bad thing to be.
Billy has a black wife, two black kids and only speaks the truth. He is a sports genius. Boston, New York and now Los Angeles
He is an absolute legend!
Bill Burr is like a human version of south park. Attack the extremes and nothing is sacred.
Bill Burr is the best comedian on the planet!!! 😂 he's brutal 😂😂😂
Bill Burr is simply one of the GOATS!!!! In my opinion!
Why is it, that whenever TH-camrs do a reaction video they OFTEN say; “I never saw this before” “this is my first time I’ve seen this” & “I have never heard of this person” !?
I’ve enjoyed your music breakdowns, was hoping to see your personality a little more on this kind of stuff. But I can respect stoicism at the same time…..it was good to see a few smiles.
I know a WHITE GUY that was born and raised in South Africa and later moved here and became an American citizen. HE is the ONLY African American that I have ever met.
"African-American... I hate that.... I'm an American". Amen! That's when I knew I needed to hit, like, comment and subscribe.
I'm a white dude that has short fused many a black, Asian, or whatever flavor person by calling myself European American and not white.
"You are NOT European American, you're WHITE!", is the standard reply.
It actually pissed off a lot of people that aren't white and many that are.
My thoughts are that true Americans, genetically, are the from local indigenous bloodlines.
African American.
European American.
Asian American.
Polynesian American.
We're all imposters IMHO, and should properly identify ourselves IF political correctness actually matters.
(Political correctness is just silly)
His wife is black. Gotta love Bill! Mad love from Oklahoma!
Bill Burr is amazing. One of my favorite comics of the last decade. Brilliant.
I've watched you a lot: you're ultra chill, I didn't think you could laugh until you started doing Bill Burr. Much love. ❤❤
