Culture Document-Janette Villegas

This clip in YouTube demonstrates the issusue that Americans face today,
gas prices. As we all know the prices are incredibly high and it does not seem to get any better. This comedian attempts to amuse his audiance with this issue by saying that people ask stupid questions refering to gas prices just because he is from the Middle East. Simply because he is of the same race that terrorists are it is assumed that he knows of them. After 9-11 many Afghanistans were being harrased because of their ethnicity. We seem to stereo-type people and assume they are the same as the rest of people thier race. The comedian brings this issusue to people with humor perhaps to make it seem like less of a problem.
