So how does his audience being ignorant of something, aid him in his comedy? How can it help him if people don't know of it?
Assume that they think he is a white American - then he looks like a typical white guy, making racist jokes (presumably, I've never seen them). The fact that he's really Mexican is not known to most people, so people will just think of him as a typical white American.
