Bill Radke speaks with social justice comedian Negin Farsad about how she believes comedy can change people's negative views of Muslims and other minorities. Her new book is "How To Make White People Laugh."

Farsad's new feature film 3rd Street Blackout comes out on July 5.

She co-starred in the film "The Muslims Are Coming!" in 2013.
