 Tags: immigration/citizenship, organizations/occupations/work, race/ethnicity, comedy, model minority, stereotypes, 00 to 05 mins Year: 1991 Length: 4:25 Access: YouTube Summary: This "Hey Mon" comedy skit from the 1990s hit show "In Living Color" features the hardest working Jamaican family vs. the hardest working Korean family in their battle to outdo each other. The skit highlights and makes fun of the model minority stereotype often applied to West Indian Americans and Asian Americans. It also makes fun of the ways in which each group is stereotyped regarding speech and dress. In addition to showcasing how comedy functions to draw attention to and problematize the various stereotypes, instructors might also point out the social context in which this comedy sketch was created, using the conflicts between African Americans and Korean Americans leading up to and during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots as a social-historical touchstone (see also scenes from "Do The Right Thing" regarding those conflicts in NY).

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
