I have read the positive reviews and I agree with what most have to say.

I enjoyed it from an unobjective persepctive.
The problem is people. The problem is the people who liked it, and the people who didn't like it.
The general consensus is us all getting along. Everybody looks to what appeases them and decides if they enjoy it. Others hear what displeases them and speak against it.
I found it to be funny. I also found some parts to be short-sighted and ignorant. The one thing that sickens me in society is the generalisation of "White" people. Its disgusting. Period.
Despite this, i ignored my brain and emotions telling me i'm upset and chose not to be and enjoyed the rest of the show.
It really is a disparaging subject, and has been for decades, and nobody gives a damn because its "Just Whites". I'd like to see him, or anyone take a stand for equality and express the "White" peoples plight and struggles.
He does a lot of voices/impressions; derogatorily so, generated towards "Whites". The funny thing is, "White" comedians can't do voices anymore or they are "racist". So all the people loving this are secretly racist? You see the double-standard here?
So yeah, i agree it was funny, I also agree its very hypocritical to argue anyone who doesn't like it.
At the end of the day, I give it a 7/10. Really wasn't great, but it was decent. I liked it. Seems like he would be a cool dude to grab a beer with.
(Honestly could have done without his MMA commentary. Connor Mac, GSP, Nuñes all better legacies that Khabib, but he's Muslim so, I guess he's gonna root for his kin...d)

I agree with everybody, and disagree with everybody
Funny
As an Israeli I must say it was pretty funny, even the parts about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were surprisingly balanced, which is very appreciated in a time when it is too easy to be antisemitic.
I must say that the part about Hummus made me a bit mad. First of all, Hebrew does have an equivalent of Ha (Arabic 6th letter), it is called Heth (Hebrew 8th letter), which is different from Khaf (Hebrew 20th letter), and that's the letter we use for hummus. Second, hummus was actually mentioned in the bible (look it up), which means that hummus was in Israel thousands of years ago. Third, even if the letter-equivalent thing was true (which is not), it's a bit like Palestinian can't say the word Palestine (they say Balestine) because they don't have an equivalent for P. Does it mean anything about their authenticity? I don't think so. Nonetheless, Israeli-Arabic hummus is better than Israeli-Jewish hummus.
Anyway, apart from the hummus part it was really funny. The part about covid was hilarious, and the last part (about him returning to his home) was emotional.
Good job Mo, waiting for your next special!
Honestly...not for non-POC
If you're arab or even muslim or have a arab background, you will laugh your ass off.
Its really funny and it gets a little emotional at the end.
Some people might not understand it because this special is very...cultural.
He talks about his home country a lot.
