Conversations on Immigration: Carlos Mencia
Carlos Mencia's mother is Mexican and his father is from Honduras, but his ethnic lineage is far more complex.
Comedian Carlos Mencia's routines feature a stream of observations and questions about race and ethnicity, with something to offend just about anyone. His own experiences are as complex as his lineage. He says America would benefit from more assimilation.
