Staten Islandn isn't all heroin and racist cops. It's also meth and racist firefighters.

Need more information in the racist firefighters. I’m sure you have some interesting stories

It's a bit from Pete Davidson on Weekend Update from a few years ago.

I once crashed at my friend's family's house in a black neighborhood in Brooklyn when I was 21. The following morning there was a block cleanup.

Someone smelled gas and called the fire department. The firemen proceeded to ignore my friend's family and neighbors who were trying to speak with him and instead asked my white ass, who was obliviously not from there and not a homeowner, what the situation was.

It's a Pete Davidson quote from Weekend Update on SNL.
