Bellowing “la racisme” and “la pedophilie” at the waiter, then looking around at everyone expecting them to clap.
I should do one of these that’s “White guy goes to taco truck, speaks broken Spanish, accidentally speaks French instead, and says ‘no picante por favor. poco picante’. Patrons and staff shocked!”
White guy orders in perfect Chinese, confuses patrons and staff at French restaurant.
