I worked a job where I’d often be driving people speaking Mandarin on conference calls. I had this exact thought while driving them around. I remember hearing this special around that time n laughing my ass off.
Oh absolutely. I remember laughing at that when I was a very young teenager but was cringing just a little while rewatching it yesterday. It’s not nearly as bad as some other stuff but it’s a little yikes. Wondering if thats why I haven’t seen Russell Peters in over a decade.
Russell Peters, a Canadian comedian, actually mentioned something similar in Mandarin years ago in one of his specials. Here he is talking about going to a KFC in Beijing.
Note: Russell is of Indian descent and uses a lot of racial jokes in both the entire special as well as this specific bit.

Please tell me you worked for a combined ride share and conference call service called Zoomy Zoom
Ha, it was a black car company with a lot of corporate clients. Those people would be on calls all the time.
That was pretty hilarious despite some jokes that definitely wouldn’t fly today. And were iffy then, too.
