“I'm so glad I clicked on this vid. I didn't care to click on this video because I thought it's another "Aladdin is actually.... *Gasp Chinese!" video. I already heard he was Chinese like 10 times prior by various youtubers so I didn't care. But I clicked on it by mistake and ended up learning something new. This shit is amazing. Thanks alot”
