It all started a couple of years ago when my friend Piero sent me this short video. Among the piles of junk he sends me (yes, it is true Italians are eternal children on a constant search for racy jokes), this video turned out to be a real gem.
Russell Peters is a Canadian comedian of Indian descent. He changed my life and the way I look at accents.
He has an incredible ear for accents. He goes over them in his head and puts them together in his mind.
He says he uses humour to help people feel better about themselves and their cultures.
The way he imitates not only Italians, but also his fellow Indians, Chinese, Jamaicans, Mexicans, etc. is incredibly funny and sweet.
It feels like a fuzzy embrace.
Let’s be honest, these days everybody is fed up with false political correctness that is so often used to dress up real offense and stereotyping.
No wonder he has become the most downloaded comedian in the history of the Internet.
