SAN BRUNO, CALIFORNIA — YouTube Music started an ad campaign last week with five different videos under the slogan “Music isn’t just what we listen to. It’s who we are.”

The videos feature a cross dressing teen, a rapping Muslim woman, a female parolee, a crying white woman on a plane, and a K-pop-listening Asian teen.

Naturally, it’s gotten the conservasexuals, you know, conservative white dudes, all worked up.

The first video features Alex the cross-dressing teen working at his fast food job, then driving home while getting eyeballed by some yocals in a pickup. After giving pops a high five, he goes into his room to slap on some makeup and put on his best hooker outfit.

The second video stars Afsa, a hijab wearing college Muslim who decides to karaoke rap some Blackalicious while walking down the hallway as other students just walk by like people do that normally.

The third ad stars Tina the parolee doing some community service before she goes to meet her daughter. The only thing we can’t decide is if she’s a white girl or Hispanic.

Number four brings us Kristen. You know, she’s just your typical white girl crying on a plane by herself while listening to some good old R&B.

The final ad introduces Jaysn, an Asian teen listening to some kpop rap as he walks by some hip hop thugs at a subway station. Do they mug him? Surprisingly, no. One of the guys gives him some skin and Jaysn is back on his way.
