Comedian Druski shocked fans with his latest viral skit, in which he disguised himself as a white “patriot” while attending a NASCAR event last weekend. The comedian, whose real name is Andrew Desbordes, is Black and went through a full transformation. Druski wore white body paint, fake tan lines, and a stringy mullet wig. As a result, his real identity was almost unrecognizable.

In the skit, Druski fully embodied a stereotypical southern “patriot,” complete with questioning Black NASCAR attendees, offering a lit cigarette to a woman who was sitting on his lap, and singing “Born in the USA” loudly. Folks were quick to note that most NASCAR fans in the video treated him as if he were one of them.
