Excited
With a phrase like ”With every laptop, you get a geek,” I knew I was going to see an Asian American in the commercial and was going to brace myself as to how that particular Asian American geek was going to look like. And the first geek was an Asian American. But I was pleasantly surprised: the Geek Squad geek turned out to be a pretty good looking Asian American man. There was also a handsome white man, along with a professional African American geek to choose from. But like the kid in the commercial, I’d choose the hot red headed babe.
