That Honda ad with the Asian couple

I don't normally watch commercials on TV, but this one caught my eye:

The kicker is that all the while the Asian couple is speaking in Mandarin about how to negotiate with the white car saleman, it turns out that the salesman also speaks Mandarin.

Ha ha ha! Well, it is a good reminder that there are non-Asians who can speak Mandarin. I have to admit, even knowing that fact, it's still a weird experience for me to see non-Asians speaking Mandarin. It shouldn't be; in a way, it's maybe the same for, say, whites in places with essentially no Asians to see me speak English. . . .
