What are you talking about? American movies only portray white guys as "cool".

If there's a white and a black guy in a movie, the white guy trumps the black guy. If there's a white and an asian guy in a movie, the white guy trumps the asian guy. Pathetically true and you'll be amazed at all the dumbasses that buys into that crap.

Seconded. See Pineapple Express as well. I saw it in Canada and almost laughed my cola out my nose when he answered the phone with an unctuous anyoungasayo.

I actually haven't but I have definitely heard of it. Pot humor burns me out (no pun intended).
