'Ask a Slave' Makes Depressingly Stupid Tourist Questions Hilarious

Actress and comedian Azie Mira Dungey used to work as a historical re-enactor at Mount Vernon.

And because George Washington's old stomping grounds are staffed with people acting out roles they might have had during the George Washington days, and Dungey is black, she played the role of a slave named Lizzy Mae.

Now, she's made her experiences fielding actual stupid questions from actual stupid tourists into a video series that not only invites laughter, it encourages people to think a little harder about how we lionize the Founding Fathers as paragons of morality.
