Is this racist? My cousin from the old country

[SnikPlosskin]

My cousin Sal Manilla insisted on helping me promote our networking event a couple years back. I regret letting him in front of the camera.

Real as In “came from a pizza box”.

This was from a long live video on Facebook. I adlibbed for four hours. I had the mustache and put it on and Sal was born. (He came on for 10 min. Or so.

There is a lot more of him but I edited that bit out of the longer video. On a later video I pre-recorded Sal bugging me to get on camera. Then, his wife yelling shit at him.

I had them loaded up on my laptop. I would hit the space bar and it would play the audio from the person supposedly off camera and Sal would react.

He goes off on his wife a number of times as she nags him to “remind them about the tickets!” like a New Yorker.

It sounded perfect - like it was in the distance. Sal was brutal to her and then turns to the camera and just goes on like nothing happened. I just made shit up as I went.

My producer thought it was “undignified”. I sold am an ton of $55 tickets during those broadcasts. And people came up to me and said they wanted more Sal.

I’m thinking about having Sal do political commentary. He has his own Facebook page but I forgot the password.
