To JAZMIN-
Please we don't need no brown on brown racial words, the fact of the matter is that they are both great comedians. Simply because he's honduran and obviously you are TOO, and you don't need to bring Mexicans down! Aren't you happy to see two Latinos making it big? En veces that's the problem with our gente we are ignorant!

Pissed off!
