The video produced by Improv Everywhere is an absolute hoot! Here's their YouTube description...
For those who have no idea who Improv Everwhere are, they're "a New York City-based prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents."Since Aspen, Colorado has an African American population of 0.44%, we decided to give the locals a chance to meet a black person. We put comedian Colton Dunn in an empty hot chocolate kiosk at the foot of the mountain to greet folks as they exited the slopes.

This 2006 mission is the second in a series of remastered videos we are producing from our archives to commemorate our 10th anniversary. We are going through our original tapes and updating old classics with higher quality video and audio, as well as adding additional never-before-seen footage. Due to file size restrictions in the early days of YouTube, many of these videos have only been seen in extremely low 240p quality. The remastered Meet a Black Person video adds new interactions with Aspen tourists and locals.

You think this is funny, go to Seattle. They act like they've never seen naturally tan people before in their lives.
LOL, I can't imagine. We've never been there, so I'll have mark it on my list of places to go. :-)
What an funny thing culture shock can be. I guess I'm just so used to being next to such a diverse city as Houston that seeing new types of people just doesn't surprise me. The only thing that ever does is seeing another out and proud...........
...... liberal.
I know I'd be in shock whenever we visit the northeast, one day, and hear almost everyone talking about Obama in a good way.
"You mean you don't want him to go back to Africa where he was born? Wait, he was born....here? And he's not a Muslim, the Anti-Christ, or a reincarnation of Hitler/Stalin that wants to spread your wealth, get everyone on food stamps and take away your healthcare, guns and God too?
Well holy sh!t. My love, I think we're finally home."
