Maz Jobrani 1: Did you hear the one about the Iranian-American?


TED 2010
Maz Jobrani 1: Did you hear the one about the Iranian-American? (script)
Summary
The speaker is a comedian. His jokes are great. He tries to do with my stand-up is to break stereotypes. And he said that I've been guilty of stereotyping as well. However, all people might have it. We have to know that there are good people everywhere, and understand each other well.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Which part of this video was the funniest for you? Why did you think so?
In this video, the funniest part for me is that the speaker ask the hotel owner his driver. It's because I have heard same situations many times, it'll often happen that the fact is that a man is great, but he is wearing a cheap suit. It was easy for me to understand.
2. What do you think about this video? Share your impressions of the video with your teacher.
All jokes are funny, but I think that laughing by hearing this video is to agree stereotypes and I thought whether it's okay to laugh, or not.
3. What is stereotyping?
Stereotyping is having a fixed idea. It's an old and wrong thought.
4. Will you judge or assume a whole nation including its citizens just because of a mistake committed by one citizen? Why?
Yes, I will. It's because mistake is announced that many people likely do that, even though it's a rare case and Japan is surrounded by the sea, there are little terror and few different races.
5. Have you ever mistaken someone to be another person that you are expecting? How did you handle the conversation and what did you feel?
No, I haven't. It's because I try not to tell someone uncertain things or l try to change questions that someone can answer easily it makes me time when I can think something.
