Parents record their children’s reactions and send the videos to Kimmel, who broadcasts some of the clips on his show.

You're welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngATnQFL-FQ

This video is pretty self-explanatory. People are incredibly tolerant of any form of self-identification nowadays. We dare not ask questions. Also, little rat-dogs are allowed in food establishments.

The tale of a notorious YouTube hoaxster who claimed to be kicked off a Delta flight for speaking Arabic turned out to be the latest in a growing series of false accusations of bias made in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory.
