[Bit 1]

Cool. I just like asking that question, you know, like how you doing?
Because most people will answer and they'll be like, I'm doing good man, how are you?
And I get to tell them, I'm doing great.
So they're like, no, I'm a better person than them.
I'm not.
I'm not a better person.
I'm just Asian.

[Bit 2]

My mom's from Korea.
She was adopted here when she was a baby.
She was adopted because she was abandoned.
She was abandoned because she sucks.
Yeah.
I don't know what you know about Asians.
We don't waste time on babies that suck or anything.
We just throw them away or turn them into soup or something.

[Bit 3]

People ask me all the time, too.
they're like, are you North Korean or South Korean?
I'm like, you know how you know I'm South Korean?
I look like I just ate three North Koreans, man.
Packin' heat.
