Ethnically bilingual

This sketch from Key & Peele is hilarious and I love how these guys bring some awareness to their show on what it's like to be half-black and half-white in America. You got the hard street voice when you want to come off hard to your peers and you got the "mannered" (not my words) voice when you go to a job interview. Dave Chapelle said it best when he said that "every black guy is bilingual". That's even truer for mixed people of color in this still very ethnically divided society. I hope this show does well on Comedy Central and fills that sketch-based comedy void in my heart I've had since the great Chapelle went off the air. These two guys were pretty much the only funny parts of the later years of Mad TV, after all.
