30-day challenge #1: A Geography Class for Racist People
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WfEkXvGQhY
I have just watched this video where Lilly Singh, a Canadian youtuber, is teaching geography for racists, after having received a comment telling her to come back to her country, since she is a "terrorist paki afghan indian muslim". Therefore she reassures that her origin country is Canada and exhibit where Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India are localized, showing they are actually three different countries. It is the first video of hers I watched and I appreciated it. She has an ironic and sarcastic humour which I pretty much liked. This situation also happens in Brazil, my native country. It is usual to hear natives referring to other brazilians as "that Japanse", "that Arab", "that Turkish", "that Angolan", and so on only because of some of their features. It is ridiculous, I think. That person is not a foreign. His/her parents or grandparents might be, but if he/she was born in here, he/she mustn't be attributed another nationality.

30-day challenge #1: A Geography Class for Racist People
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WfEkXvGQhYI have just watched this video where in which Lilly Singh, a Canadian youtuber, is teaching geography for to racists, after having received a comment telling her to come back to her country, since she is a "terrorist paki afghan indian muslim". Therefore (using therefore here does not make sense, it is used to tell that something is occurring as a consequence, so doing it like this, in my opinion, would make a person sound more petty) she reassures that her origin country is Canada Canada is her motherland (I like this more casual term more, rephrasing it this way around makes a better logical emphasis) and exhibit shows (exhibit is out of place here, point or show is better; also you want to use passive of verb here) where Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India are localized located, showing(after my previous comment demonstrating would be good alternative here) that they are actually three different countries. It is the first video of hers I watched and I appreciated it (easier verb 'like' or 'love' would be more common in here, with different shade of meaning; appreciate implies that you just evaluated it, and you are basically being 'grateful' for it). She has an ironic and sarcastic humour is being ironic and sarcastic (sounds much easier, to have humor is pretty much a fixed phrase, and with what you used humor could be replaced with sense of humor) which I pretty(pretty in here is misfit, unless you do mean it; 'pretty much' means that you barely liked it, or just liked) much liked. This situation also happens in Brazil, my native country. It is usual common to hear natives referring to other Brazilians as "that Japanese", "that Arab", "that Turkish", "that Angolan", and so on only because of some of their features. It is ridiculous, I think(swapping clauses would make more natural emphasis, would make you sound more assertive). That person is not a foreigner('Those people are not foreigners' would fit better in context). His/her Their parents or grandparents might be, but if he/she was they were born in here, he/she they must not(In situations like these shortened forms are detrimental) be attributed another nationality.
