Joy Koy is bi-racial. His father is White, which is why he looks the way he does. His real name is Joseph Herbert.
Some Fil-Ams probably get pissed at him saying, "Filipinos are not Asian, we're Pacific Islander!" lol
Anyways, one of the more favorite jokes I've seen him do was the one about how Asians can't drive and jokes about Mexicans.
