Modern Monkeys

Because in America I’m not always an American. When people come up to me they usually say ‘hey man, where are you from?’ And I tell them, I’m from New York City. And then they’re like ‘no, I mean, where are you really from?’ Which of course is code for ‘no, I mean, why aren’t you white?’.
