This epitomizes why I laugh when insecure white men screech about how "multiculturalism is a failed experiment." I LOVE living in a neighborhood where I can hear Central American music walking down the street, eat authentic Mexican that hasn't been dumbed down for white people, see a play at the Filipino Cultural Center, get my hardware from a local shop run by an adorable old Azerbajani couple... it's great!

You gotta love LL. He never seems to get flustered on the air, and asks the questions I would want to ask his guests.
