>> crowd: yamas. [ glasses clinking ] -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com one of america's favorite pastimes is lumping groups of people together. you know what i am talking about, like the idea of minorities and take the all of the people who are darker than vin diesel and call them minorities. and it does not make any sense, because we have so many cultures and languages and religions and things, and the only thing that bo bonds minorities together is that we believe that if you are going to eat pork, you have to use all of the pig. you know what i mean? you can't just be like the white e people and scrape off the bacon and the ribs and throw the rest of it away. no, you have to get in that pig. and pickle that and rind that,

and suck on that toenail. you have to get in there. and i think about that word minority a lot, because it is not going to be make sense for much longer, because according to statistics by the time we get to 2044 the minorities are going to be making up the majorities of america. this week on the show we decided to investigate la tee know people, because i feel like i have not done a a good job the connect with the latino bro sds this and sisters, and especially because they are america fastest growing mek, and you see in a few years it is more people clapping, but right now, it is just that one dude holding it down. >> my a name is w. kamau bell, and i am a comedian making humor out of the parts of america that i do not understand. now i am challenging myself to dig deeper. i'm on a mission to find the cultures that add so much color to this country. this is "united shades of america."

to explore the vast topic that is latinos in america, i'm in los angeles. los angeles has a population of 3.8 million people, and near ly half of them are of latino dissent and the rest of them are kardashi kardashians or mar i ared to a kardashian or waiting for a kardashian to get divorced so they can marry you. looking at g a aing at a kloe. i am going to pete with my big time show business agents who never return my calls, bigle time. but this week, i'm going east, east l.a. and the heights which are slightly more latinos that than the rest of us, and by slightly i mean overwhelmingly latino. east l.a. and boyle heights are on the east side of los angeles and geographically not that far from beverly hills, but let's

just say that i owe my high school spanish teacher an apology for saying, why would i ever use span ib after i graduate. the culture can be traced back to the 1800s when a revolution caused the biggest migrations of americans. as the city grew, so did the labor opportunity, and the thriving community known as east l.a. was born. if i am going to learn anything, i know that i have to first hit the streets and talk to the people. would you mind talking to us for a second? >> all right. all right. can we talk to you in a moment once you get off of the phone? all right. maybe this not easy. cut to three hours later. i think that the problem is camera guy is that we are in east l.a. and looking for people to the talk to you, and one of

the inherent challenges of east l.a. is that many people are undocumented. so when you take a big camera and a crew and go, would you like to talk to us, they go, what is french for go [ bleep ] yourself. all right. i'm kamau. >> i saw you in prison. >> you saw my show in prison? >> yes. >> i didn't know they was non i the joint. >> yeah, you were. you were. >> and so you have lived here all of your life? >> yeah, i v. >> and what was it like growing up here? oh, okay. could we have 30 years ago stood here on the corner and had this conversation? >> i could have, but you couldn't. >> are you here to move into my neighborhood, man? >> if you are a hipster, man, i can't talk to you. >> all right. >> do i look like a hipster to you? >> well, you know, you could be. >> i am not a black hipster and i'm not a blipster, i promise. safer for families now?

>> yes, a lot safer and it is beautiful out here and some of the nicest people, and the cultures and the traditions. >> i u would imagine that like there are undocumented people who live in the neighborhood -- >> what are you talking about? >> am i bringing some news? >> there might be a few. >> this is where they come, and probably in all of the happy shops. >> if you don't have any papers and you want to come make a living go to east l.a. >> yeah, probably. >> and so i don't know if you should use that slogan, especially for the mayor of east l.a. >> and we are going be the majority the when it comes to elections, and we are traching over. >> you say it with confidence and with a smile. >> no, we gave you the presidency and we are next. >> thanks for the minute. >> we are next. >> i didn't know that hillary clinton is la ti latina. >> and now, the next question is

iss a simulation, how much, and why? latinos are no differently. luckily i ran into a ringer, community activist alex valdana and also is undocumented. what do you think of the people who come here who are undocumented? >> i think that nobody has to sacrifice the churl to be american. i have nothing against the white people. i have nothing against the americans, but we have to reflect what america mean, and e definitely embrace that our cultures are beautiful, and we come here for a e better life to be ourself, and we should not sack ri are fis that identity. >> and people who come here don't speak the language or assimilate into the way things are done here, they should, because it is going the benefit them in the long run. >> okay. >> but if you are coming to los angeles, you should learn spanish. >> okay. >> now that i talked to the

people, i want to talk to the mayor, but since he would not talk to me, i will talk to somebody else at city hall. in this town, you a kind of a rock star. i am meeting with the l.a. council city mayor who is known for his successful work to get licenses for undocumented wo workers. in l.a., latinos are the largest group which worries are people. >> yeah, we have scale. >> what does a that mean, we have scale? >> el well, we are everywhere and it is incredible, because the immigrants from all over the world come here, and a la tee know immigrants are the same. they are the en r ttrepreneurs the risk takers, and the most responsible and come with family values and they make the economy hum. >> and one of the things that in my life i have heard talking when you talk about the latinos and the people of communities of color is the word assimilation, and what do you think of that word? >> well, it is a constant and actually, it is probably the oil

that makes the engine run in america is that everybody who comes here from another country doesn't know english, and everybody who comes here from another country does not know the customs and the practices, and everybody who comes here is not yet fullys a sim a lated into the process, but within a generation or two, they are doing everything that everybody else is doing, and it is the great thing about our country, shortly, within a short period of time, everybody is going to be having trouble to talk to the grandmother. >> and that is how you know that you made it. i know that some people feel that if you come here to the country, you should learn english. >> of course, everybody does. >> not everybody. >> well, not everybody, but not the day they get here. and this is with what people don't understand. it is a process and a generat n generational process. >> i feel like america is so latino that if i don't speak spanish, i'm the asshole. >> spanish is good, and language acquisition is good, and the por languages that you speak, the more capable you are to

communicate with the world, and this is really what brings understanding and conflict in the world is that we have the greater ability to communicate. >> and now that i am sure that british immigrants come up talking english and the fact they can't speak to my grandparents is because they are dead, he makes some good points. dad, you can just drop me off right here. oh no, i'll take you up to the front of the school. that's where your friends are. seriously, it's, it's really fine. you don't want to be seen with your dad? no, it's..no.. this about a boy? dad! stop, please. oh, there's tracy. what!

♪ >> let's talk about the a-word, assimilation. for me it is a four-letter word. people say assimilation is good because you need to learn the

culture and the language of the new country, but i feel like it is like a 2 canx4 to bludgeon the old out of you. and don't forget the old, but learn the new. and the old stuff is good, because what would it be like in america without us incorporating the cultures of other places? why would people drop that stuff? because that has been a culture road test ed and approved and they have worked out the kinks. coming from like mexico, and we have been working on it for 10,000 years. and that is interesting. have you heard taylor swift? ernesto. i'm at the arts studio of ernesto who is a activist and graphic designer in boyle height s. >> i saw that you needed an unskilled laborer, and ta-da here i am. he has worked with zach della

roche and now, me. tell me about the image? >> it is to create critical artwork for working class people, because i come from the community that is working class. so i wonder if working class people grew up with artwork that was critical and politically and socially charged how it would change the mindset of the youth. >> what are you doing today? >> we are going to be drawing a hummingbird, because it is a symbol to a loft the chicanos of what we represent and it represents like a little freedom and like i'm a nerd i like to study things. hummingbirds have to work so hard to find food they are on the brink of fatigue and death, and i thought it is a good representation of the working class people, because they are working so hard to make ends meet, but they do it so gracefully. >> i was there for two hours watching him work diligently like a surgeon on the piece. >> so now we want to put these
