ultimate super bowl snack. It's protein rich.

Nah, dude, you're screwing me.

Nah, nah, nah.

Everyone will like you.

You ask me how deep I love you.

How deep I love you.

My heart is true. My love is true.

The moon represents my heart.

as Joan Wong.

She came all the way from China.

Take a seat right there next to Jeremy.

Everyone, let's rise.

Joan, you can just listen for now.

and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God,

indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Hello.

My name is Joan.

Baby, are you happy to go to school on the first day?

I brought you your favorite food.

I'm not hungry.

Roger,

I'm sorry, but you have already agreed to work late.

Sorry, I forgot.

Let's wait in the car.

Can I stay here?

Whatever.

Let's go.

You deserve it.

king and queen is more than just a popularity contest.

Here at Clarksville High, the prom queen and king represent American values and

who we all strive to be.

So without any further ado, this year's prom queen is Anna Summers.

And I'm flicking it outward.

And as you can see, I already have my mascara on. I like having my mascara

first so I really know. Hi, my love.

I have some exciting news to announce.

I just booked the lead role in a new TV show.

You can hardly believe it. I'm still pinching myself.

I do have some sad news, though.

I'm not going to be able to run for prom queen because I'll be on set.

Hey,

it's Brenda. That's a beep. Hang up and text me, you weirdo.

Keep on looking if you're looking for me, cause I'm an abercrombie looking ass

bitch and I don't give a fuck. It isn't bad, but it isn't worth me at all. Keep

on looking if you're looking for me, cause I'm an abercrombie looking ass

and I don't give a fuck.

Speak English, Mom.

Roger.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

The course sounds good.

Let's go buy a new face mask.

I can teach you how to peel.

Hey.

Where's the box?

Don't forget it.

Okay, one, I would never just kiss him. That's literally sexual harassment.

And two, I'm perfectly happy just fantasizing about his hairless penis.

Ew. Why hairless?

Stop trying to distract me.

Did you watch it?

Watch what?

Oh, the video.

Yes, I did, Jill. I'm just kidding.

You know what this means?

I could actually win.

Okay. I sound like a broken record at this point, but you don't need it.

You just don't think I can win.

No, I just think it's a waste of time.

Prom queen is worth my time.

When I get back, you better change your mind.

Hi, my love. This is Miss Valentine.

She's my science teacher and a fierce advocate for climate change. She's

actually the president of the Evergreen Committee, a nonprofit dedicated to

fighting global warming.

Can you say it in my voice?

Okay, so as you all know, I started the Feel the Burn Challenge three weeks ago

to raise awareness of climate change, but really to show how quickly our skin

burns under the sun now compared to 30 years ago.

Since then, I've managed to raise $1 ,000 to fight climate change.

Surprise!

How very thoughtful, Olivia.

Okay, I'm going to need more out of you. I'm going to need more excitement.

Can you scream?

Maybe shed a tear. Talk about how this money is going to change your life.

Gag. I think what Olivia's doing is... altruistic.

Feel the burn.

You think it's altruistic?

It's fucking stupid, that's what it is. It's all for show.

Plus, it's fucking racist, too.

You think this brown skin's gonna burn like that white girl? All she cares

is her followers.

So you think Olivia's racist and stupid.

And cringe.

Very, very cringe.

So help me beat her friends for prom queen.

You are so fucking stubborn, you know that?

I have a whole plan.

Is Nash or Brian a part of that plan?

Oh, he's so fucking hot.

Okay, John, let's get it.

I'd bang bang his ass any day.

我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 你不是得玩这首歌吗?

You must be Joan.

Hi, Mrs. Adams.

You are so pretty.

Do you know that?

Come on in.

Your dad is almost done.

If you wait here, I made you some tea.

We were just in Fujian.

It's where you're from, right?

Roger,

what was that?

Dad? Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Accident. Accident.

What did he say?

He is very sorry. He said it won't happen again.

Never liked that print anyway, but if it happens again, he will not be able to

work here or for any of my friends ever again.

We don't...

So we're thinking about whether you can clean up for me these days.

Thank you.

This here is, stand with her, prom queen is, Jung Hwa!

Yo, yo.

Yo.

Sorry about your dad. But hey, he'll have time to campaign.

I feel horrible for saying this, but... Americans don't clean.

Hmm? Immigrants clean.

I don't want to be a stereotype.

Aww.

What? You look like a virgin.

I am a virgin. You are.

But people don't need to know that.

Thankfully, your bestie is a graphic designer.

Jesus. Dude.

Come on, lady.

It's super sick.

Yeah? Yeah. Nice.

Hi. Vote for me. Don't flop. Okay.

Happy Lunar New Year.

Oh, wow.

Look, so... Bad ass.

I better get this going.

Qi Tian, come back early after school. Don't be lazy.

I've bought everything for dumplings.

Let's make dumplings together.

Okay?

Sorry, I thought you were someone else.

Nice hair.

So... You're hot.

You already said that.

I don't know what else to say.

Why didn't you tell me you were going to do this?

It was spontaneous.

I thought as my friend you'd support my new look. I do. It's just... What?

Never mind.

Hey.

Hey. Don't worry, I have the right person this time.

I'm afraid to say no, but a few of us are getting our nails done after school.

If you're not doing anything, you should come.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Yeah,

happy new year.

Okay. Bye.

Okay.

Hi. Hey.

I'm so glad you could come.

This is Greta.

And this is Kat.

What made you move?

Kat, babe. Can you take her? Yeah. You speak Mandarin, right?

Yeah. I mean, I'm not fluent or anything. But, like, you can speak it.

Yeah? Okay, cool. Come here.

Can you ask... for the gel deluxe mani with the full design package.

She said it's $100.

There's like a local discount.

Girls, I was doing a chem read yesterday with this guy who was like a five.

If I'm being generous.

We were in the middle of this audition.

I'm sorry. He was a four. I have to stop being so nice.

We were in the middle of this audition. He's doing a line about like his dead

mom or something.

He's looking at me.

He gets a boner.

Greg freaks the fuck out. The director throws him outside.

I almost lose the part because some four with a man bun can't control his

libido. And I think I need to break up with Greg.

Your life is so hard.

Have you thought about endorsing someone for prom queen?

Why would I do that?

You're Olivia Hammond?

Whoever endorsed you'll probably end up winning.

Imagine the bribes you'll get.

You could even feature the winner on your channel.

Completely unrelated.

My parents just got me two tickets to FC Black Bear.

Wanna come?

OMG, that totally reminds me. I was cleaning out my room the other day, and

was totally gonna throw up this way.

Do you want it?

It's so pretty. Thank you.

Speaking of those Black Bear texts, Can I have both?

Yeah.

Hi, my love.

Okay, two things.

One, we just got our nails done. Look at how cute they are. At the super cute

nail shop.

We're at local businesses.

Two, I've decided I'm going to endorse one girl for prom queen.

She's going to be gorgeous.

Someone we all want to be.

Irregardless of prejudice.

I'll make my decision in a week.

Let the games begin.

Thank you so much for coming.

Yeah, of course.

I can see your black roots.

Ew.

Hello? Hello!

Welcome!

Hi.

I don't know if I have the right place.

Joan Hwang?

You're in the right place.

Come in.

Don't be shy.

If you go through this door, the nice lady from inside will help you out.

What is this place?

A place where we help you reach your true potential.

San Juan?

Yes? Come in.

Please take a seat. Dr. Singer will be right with you.

Before the surgery, not one NBA player looked my way.

After the surgery, they're all up in my DMs.

Before the surgery, my girlfriend... The parents did not accept my proposal to

marry their daughter. But after the surgery, I pretended to be someone

new. And now, the way things lie.

Let's just hope we don't have any children.

After the surgery, I was finally promoted to my dream job as

Even the animals treat me different.

Joan Huang.

I love

seeing young faces in here.

You know what I always say, the younger the better.

Nancy, cue up the intro video for me. Send the lights. Have a seat, Joan.

Have you ever walked into a shoe store only to have the shop manager ask you to

leave, even though you make ten times as much a year as he does?

Have you ever had someone tell you how impressed they are, how well you speak

English without an accent?

Or are you just tired of the way white folks look at you? You know what I'm

talking about.

I'm Willie Singer. I'm one of the founders of Ethnosync, the first company

dedicated to true equality.

Now, see, I was not always like this.

Once upon a time, I, too, suffered the injustice of being a person of color in

this world.

I fought for basic rights. I was passed over for promotions. I was spat on in

the street, and I got so tired of fighting.

But that's when I realized, if you can't be them,

be.

Let me show you around.

We use cutting edge technology called ethnic modification to change your skin

pigmentation. We use advanced cell growth technology on your face and your

to alter your features quickly and permanently. No pain, no recovery time.

to make sure that the transformation is complete, even your voice sounds

different.

Voila!

It really isn't that simple.

Remember, life doesn't have to be this hard.

What you're describing is impossible.

Oh, it's a lot, I know.

But I assure you, it is very much possible.

Nancy, you used to look like this.

Dexter!

I want you to show Joan what you used to look like.

It's like a giant weight has been lifted.

I finally feel like I belong.

Different people do it for different reasons.

This was me 10 years ago.

I was a bioengineer with the number one healthcare manufacturing firm in all of

America. I worked hard.

I kicked ass. But I knew from the second that I was born that my success would

always be limited.

So when that white turd who only got into Harvard because of daddy's money

got the promotion I deserved.

That's when I realized if I was going to have equality, I was going to have to

create it myself.

So that's when the three of us, a bioengineer, a molecular biologist, and

biophysicist started EthnoThink.

And we started it for people like us to give us a true, fair shot.

I am so thankful that you found us early in life.

How did it all work?

The whole procedure takes about two hours.

You pick the features that you want.

Everything's customizable.

Since you're a minor, we have to have a parental signature before we proceed.

Okay.

Okay. Great.

We're not in it for the money. We're in it for you.

And since we have a promotion today, I would be more than happy to throw in a

hair transplant free.

Of charge.

Now, you can give it a test run.

If you don't like it, die it back. But if you do, bring in your parental

signature and your deposit, and we will complete the transformation.

No more black roots.

How does that sound?

Welcome.

Have a seat, Joe.

Are you ready?

Excellent.

Just get a little sleepy.

You're back.

How's your homework?

Here, have some.

I can't hold it.

It's okay.

In the future, I'll have the chance to make dumplings with you.

Your homework is important, right?

It looks a little different.

Really?

Happy New Year.

It matches your hair.

Eliza threw a little party with all of her silly friends, and I'm pretty sure

somebody puked in there.

Someone did puke in here?

Yeah.

How is your father's hand doing?

Not great.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Please tell him if he would like to have the number to my hand doctor. I'm happy

to give it.

Okay, he is the best, and he's doing some pro bono work right now because of

team.

Good. Are you sure?

Positive. Actually, if you would, tell your father that next

week's clean is canceled. We are going on a little vacay to Peru.

There's an incredible artist there doing painting on cacao beans in protest of

the children who risked their lives during the harvest.

Just...

brave cool

okay

Thank you.

What's wrong?

I want to go on a trip with my school.

I want you to sign it.

It's so thick.

Where?

Are you ready?

Count backwards from 20 for me, okay?

20, 19, 18.

The police got me so crazy, I never feel in danger.

History is on our side, I never feel like a stranger.

Everywhere I look, movies, TV, children's books, they all look like me.

That's a guarantee.

dream just the best.

Are you ready to see yourself?

This is my favorite part.

Three.

Is that you?

No.

Thank you.

Hey, Mama.

Who are you?

Wrong.

It's me.

Sorry, you have wrong house.

Sure.

Wrong house, please. Not that, it's me. Hey, mom, you have a

birthmark on your left thigh.

Your favorite.

Dessert is the dried taro cake from down the street.

Your favorite CD?

You were asking me to make dumplings with you last week.

And, uh, Dad, we were writing a song here a few days ago.

Grandma took this to me when I was about five.

We were sitting right there whenever you sliced your hand open and we had to sew

it up and you asked me to take over your cleaning duties.

I had surgery to look like this.

You're not my daughter.

I knew that you'd both freak out, so I got you this.

I look like a real person.

It's real.

How is that possible?

No, no, no. If a non -adult must have parents' consent...

Are you guys at least like a

little bit happy for me?

I'll finally be treated the same as everybody else.

Same opportunities. I mean, isn't that what you always wanted for me?

Mom, there's no one here.

Hi!

Hello. How can I help you?

Doctor! Doctor!

Now! Yes, one moment, please.

Hello. I'm Dr.

Singer. How are you? It's so good to... How is life treating you?

Do yourself a favor. Get tickets to a Michael Bublé concert. That experience

a white person will change your life.

Change? Change her. Change her back.

I am very sorry that you're unhappy with our services. Unfortunately, the

procedure is quite permanent. That's why we require a parental signature if they

are under 18.

She tricked me. Tricked me.

Our daughter. Lie.

I am truly sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, even if that is the case,

just nothing I can do.

Change her back. Chinese daughter. I want to.

How do you say permanent procedure?

How do you say permanent? It's permanent.

No, I know, but change, please.

I cannot. Change and refund.

Refund. I am very sorry.

I am confident that you will come

to understand how positive a change that this is going to be for your daughter's

life and for your own lives as well.

So much so that perhaps you and your husband will come back and get the

yourself. We do offer family discounts.

Thank you so much for coming in. No.

I told

you

I'm tired of feeling like I don't belong.

I'm still Joan. I just gave myself an upgrade.

Being Chinese is what made

me weak.

What? I don't want to be judged for something that I'm not. I don't want

to hate me for things that I haven't done.

What if I go to school or I walk into a store? I don't have to worry about...

The animosity.

People judging me because of the way that my eyes splant.

Huh?

I know this is a surprise to both of you, but I have been very unhappy for a

very long time.

I know that you think I'm erasing my culture or whatever, but we live here in

America.

of my life i don't have to be asian american or chinese american i can just

american the

only

mistake i made was not doing this sooner

Life is like the people of the Huang family.

You can see your grandmother in your eyes every day.

I saw you and I saw your grandmother.

But now I can't even recognize my own daughter.

Everyone,

this is Jo Hunt from California.

Why don't you go find a seat?

Okay, everybody, let's open up our notebooks and continue with Unit 3, The

American Revolution.

So, California, huh?

Are you all into, you know, juice cleansers and hot yoga?

How else am I supposed to look like this?

You did that.

Apologize. Sorry.

Thank you.

Hey. Hey, new girl.

Guys, this is Jo. She just moved here from California.

Oh, no shit.

What part?

L .A.

I'm there all the time.

Sunsets are really pretty.

What brings you here?

My dad.

He's like a movie producer or whatever, so I guess he was shooting a show here.

What's his name?

Henry.

Hunt, Henry Hunt.

I've never heard of him.

Really?

Who's this?

I'm Olivia.

This is my boyfriend, Greg.

You've obviously been mashed.

And Greta Katz.

I'm actually an actress.

I mean, I'm not supposed to share this yet, but I did just book the new lead on

a superhero show.

Thank God.

Big star slave, you.

Thank you.

What do you guys think of Black Bear's new album?

You like Black Bear?

Yeah, it's like fire.

Super fire.

Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

You're good.

So what are you guys doing on Saturday?

Oh my God, guys, we should go to Mickey D's.

Mickey D's? She said Saturday night, not when hell freezes over.

Um, my brother's got a new semi -automatic we could try. What the fuck,

No, in like a girl power kind of way.

My parents are out of town this weekend.

You think Olivia's gonna endorse somebody, sir?

What?

I'll be right back.

Um... Olivia!

What the fuck? My clothes!

Olivia!

My towel.

You're so lucky you get to borrow your mom's clothes.

Why can't you?

Shit, I'm sorry.

Bye.

Is your mom online?

Yeah, she won't even know if it's gone.

It's okay.

You have your mom's eyes.

What are you gonna do when this is all over?

My dad, he wanted to be a musician before he was a movie producer, you

I guess I... I guess I wouldn't mind giving that a shot.

So you go to music school?

Yeah.

Write my own songs.

Can you write one for me?

Right now?

Yeah, I mean, actors and musicians have to work under pressure all the time.

Yeah.

All eyes on you Perfection yet so blue

All you've ever wanted is to be seen

endorse me if you're prom queen I

know

your secret

Yeah, when you whisper to those guys by the pool.

Bitch, move, but I appreciate your tenacity.

I like you, Joe.

Prove to me that you're trustworthy.

You'll get my endorsement.

I knew it.

Do I know you?

It's you, isn't it?

I don't know who you are, but you need to back off.

Wait a minute. I saw your lunch box.

What the fuck did you do?

Joe! Joe!

Leave me alone! Go away!

Still the same Pascal.

What happened?

How is it? I don't know. Science?

Now what? You're stuck like this? I'm not stuck. This is what I want.

All because you want Olivia's endorsement. No, because life's easier.

I'm popular.

I don't give a fuck. I called you like a hundred times, dude.

I went by your house.

I thought you left without saying goodbye.

What are

you

doing here?

We're here for the party.

This is a private party.

Says who?

Me.

Is this your house?

No, but this is my party.

You want to know what house it is?

Sure. How about you kindly tell these party crashers to leave?

Hey.

You're being real rude to my friend.

And last time I checked, the person who owns this house is the host of the

party. Your friend.

Joe personally invited us here.

Joe?

You have to leave.

Excuse me?

Private party.

And I'm asking you guys to delete.

I'm really doing this.

I have an announcement to make.

I finally decided who I'm endorsing for prom queen.

I'm endorsing...

Where did you go?

You came back so late.

You should have been grounded at home.

All I do is clean the school up. You can't be miserable.

Where did you go at night?

She's at a friend's house.

I don't smell anything.

No.

It's mine.

I didn't. No, Dad.

I promise I didn't do anything. Dad!

Please!

Walking on my face Walking on my face Walking on my face

Good afternoon.

I will now announce the students who are voted into the prom court.

You will choose your final prom king and queen from these names.

Cat Fisher.

Bianca Peterman.

Millie Wolfe.

And last but not least, Jo Hunt.

Hi, my love.

I just took Jo thrifting, and I found her the perfect prom dress.

The big reveal will be in Friday's video, and more importantly, I just

I got time off set to make a special appearance at prom to cheer my girl on.

Are you going to the party on Friday?

Hey. Hey.

Can we talk?

Eve.

Look at what you've done to yourself.

How do you think that makes me feel?

I understand.

Okay.

You thought you were ugly.

Do you think I'm ugly too?

No, I... Of course not.

Look.

Yeah.

Good luck at prom.

You're not going?

It'll just be another clone wedding.

white woman, the amount of things you can get away with is absurd.

The other day, I claimed my waiter was a threat to my life. I received a free

meal and a personal apology from the chef.

How may I help you, ma 'am? My name is Joan Hong, and I need to see Dr. Singer.

Of course, dear. Do you have an appointment?

No, but it's an emergency.

Yes, of course.

Let me jump in here.

Dr. Singer's first available appointment is February 20th.

Great, that's tomorrow.

Of next year.

Of next year?

Yes, ma 'am. Would you like for me to schedule you in?

No, I... I need to see him now.

This is a common side effect. Please hold.

Please spread a thin layer of cream over the affected area.

What is this?

When things start to droop use one of these little suckers to pick back up.

What? It's like getting a facelift.

Thank you.

Next!

I'm busy.

I'm busy.

I'm busy.

I'm busy. I'm busy.

Okay,

okay, okay.

Yeah, what?

I don't know why their password was stolen.

Then a group of people went to their house on Saturday and had a party.

They made a mess in their house.

And these people know how to turn off the surveillance camera.

So they didn't take any pictures. I don't know who did it.

Now no one in the family doesn't believe me.

All the people who know their password can enter their house.

All of them were fired.

She was a bitch.

I don't think you're better off working for somebody else anyways.

What do you mean?

No.

No, I... Of course not.

You're accusing me of trashing her house?

No,

I

can't believe you would even accuse me of something like this.

You know, maybe you should take this as a blessing. Now you can finally learn

English and get a real job.

That's not what I meant.

Dad, I'm sorry.

It's incredible.

Put some coriander later. Really?

What's so good about it? It's eggplant.

What are we celebrating?

It's seriously so boring.

I'm having so much fun in the bathroom in a limo.

Yeah, was that like the worst experience ever?

I'm so chill.

I love this song.

Are you okay?

Your face is...

I'll meet you right out there. It's fine.

Joe. Hey. Joe.

Joe.

Hey.

Your old face fights back at first.

Settle down, everyone.

Now to announce the prom queen and king by Frank Boylan.

Welcome to Stanwood Park High's prom night!

I have in my hand this year's winner of prom king and queen. Just to

recap. These are the nominations for From Queen.

Cat Fisher.

Bianca Peternick.

Mary Riff.

And Joe Hutz.

And this year's From Queen.

Hey, you're awake.

What happened?

You fainted.

Hey, don't worry. Only a few people in the front got clear video.

I'll make sure they get buried.

Thanks, babe.

Chill.

It'll heal.

It always does.

I know, I know.

It's not very often we meet a fellow Ethnos Inc. enthusiast.

Why don't you stay for dinner, Joe?

I exist.

Here, Jo, you can have the leg. It's really okay. No need to be polite here.

Here you go, sweetheart.

Thank you.

Absolutely.

So, Jo, how wonderful is it to be white?

What race were you guys before the surgery?

We don't use that word here.

Ball word.

Race.

Daddy says true equality knows no race.

We used to be Cuban.

But when we moved here from Miami, Dad thought it would be a great idea to

a new life.

When I learned of... Dr. Singer's work, I immediately demanded to be one of his

first customers.

I just think that he's doing something that everyone else is too scared to do.

He's erasing color to achieve true equality.

I think that's worthy of a Nobel Prize.

We've referred five families already.

So, uh, did your parents have it done as well?

Well, you know, eventually people who don't share the same ideologies, they

away.

What do you mean?

Well, you, Olivia, and I, we believe in equality.

True equality. We were even willing to change our, you know what, to achieve

People who don't feel the same way, well, eventually they, well, they're no

longer in your life. And good riddance, I say.

I haven't spoken to my mom in years because she refused to change.

I mean, it's sad, really.

She could have had all of this.

You'll never miss your old life.

I don't know.

When my father and I came to America, we were already over 30.

We knew we were Chinese, and we will always be Chinese.

You grew up here.

You have to find yourself.

You have to find yourself.

You have to find yourself. You have to find yourself. You have to find

I'm sorry.

I really don't know.

I'll get you a glass of water.

Maybe you don't believe me.

When I first came to the U .S., I was just like you.

Being American, not the goal.

The goal is opposite.

And you will find your own American too.

I need to see Dr. Singer.

I need to see Dr.

Singer!

Hey!

It's okay.

I want to change back.

You read the contract. It's impossible.

Please.

Please. You have been blessed.

There are thousands that would kill to have what you have.

I don't want to.

How do I put it?

For a new plant to grow.

One wish.

The seed.

Thank you.
