"Art really does imitate life": Netizens react as man who looks like Druski's recent whiteface avatar invites him to a NASCAR race

A white guy who closely resembles comedian Druski's recent whiteface skit has invited him to a NASCAR race. In the video, the man says,

"I have seen the Druski white boy skit and I noticed, that he looks familiar. If I put a finger on it, I have seen him before."

The man noted that he will be racing against Australians, and if "hypothetically" Druski or Andrew Desbordes wants to be in the "derby", he's pretty sure that a car could be found for him. After @KillaKreww posted the video and it went viral, netizens took to the comment section to express their reactions. While many users encouraged the comedian to join in, others joked about how the man did not understand the problematic tone of the comedian's skit.

A user (@T_Rizzeal) joked about art imitating life,

"Art really does imitate life"

A user (@SkywalkerMcFly_) expressed excitement for the NASCAR race to happen,

"WE NEED THIS TO HAPPEN 😭😭😭😭😭"

Another user (@milavelvetta) pointed out that the man wasn't offended by the skit and genuinely wanted the comedian to participate,

"Love how hes not even upset at it, even though it was clearly white face"

Another user (@LucaGuadagnegro) joked about the comedian imitating an actual person rather than creating a persona for the skit,

"i’m WEAK that druski imitated a man that exists irl 🤭🤭🤭"

Another user (@deeovan) found the situation funny and said,

"We are absolutely in a simulation. This guy is probably just as funny. 😭. God is great."

Another user (@cletusEllijah) was surprised by the popularity of Druski's white guy skit,

"I can't believe how far this has come It's been days and it's still trending"

What is Druski's white guy comedy skit?

Comedian Andrew Desbordes showed up at a NASCAR race, the fanbase for which is predominantly white.

He was dressed in whiteface for his latest comedy skit. The video, which was shared this week, features the comedian as a Caucasian American, a transformation which was achieved through makeup. The getup included heavy makeup, a phony beard, tattoos, a mullet, denim overalls, and a cowboy hat, all of which are considered the stereotypical personality of a suburban white man.

The comedian blended in easily with the crowd, and nobody seemed to notice that it was actually Desbordes.

The comedian was also talking in an exaggerated Southern accent, toasting Budweisers with fellow white attendees and vibing to Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.

While many viewers found the skit funny, others bashed the comedian, alleging a racist portrayal of a white sports fan.
