Wouldn't "foreigner blackface" ("whiteface"?) be a Taiwanese person pretending to be a foreigner and speaking with a funny accent? I've seen plenty of those, but this isn't it. (Plus I don't think his accent is *that* bad for a non-native speaker.)
It's not that bad, in fact, as I noted, I bet his Chinese is excellent, seems much better than mine. But listening to it you can catch sometimes where he slides into good Chinese from that fakey foreigner staccato Chinese.

You are aware that Jesus (who is Spanish) has been doing this show for a long time and very successfully on his own YouTube channel?
I actually find his playing with these cliches quite funny.
Now Acer apparently paid him to hold their tablet in a few episodes and uploaded it onto their channel.
Nope, I know the guy. That's about how good his Chinese is. A lot of the lines are just memorized. He is a good comedian though....
It might just be that you're not used to hearing Mandarin with a Spanish accent and intonation. Or you could be right; we Spanish haven't yet figured out that blackface is a problem.
Thanks guys.
