You won’t believe what people do when they think no one’s watching! The hit hidden-camera series “What Would You Do?,” hosted by ABC News’ John Quiñones, returns to ABC for a historic 16th season on SUNDAY, FEB. 18 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EST) with episodes available the next day on Hulu. Quiñones welcomes guest correspondents Sara Haines, co-host of “The View,” and W.

    "You look racist." This lady was having way too much fun delivering the verbal smackdown when he confronted her, lmao.
  • @Alpacarter
    “Apply your clear passion for America to doing something positive for the community” ended him
  • Didn't know I was about receive a little bit of John Quiñones lore tonight
  • @averyames4584
    That first guy was so gentle and kind- I love that he chose not to go straight to anger and contention but made an effort at human connection. Good on him
  • @arabia1980
    Wow that last lady truely is a hero. Her description of that man was dead on right. Brilliant
  • @ashawalker5986
    They were actually quite heroic. I could only hope to be half as well spoken when confronted with this situation. Well done.
  • I know the "trouble maker" guy. Great actor and very kind and sweet man. Y'all might of seen him in some films but he has one of those faces that is hard to pin down.
  • @empath2005
    He has such a positive attitude after witnessing that.
  • The last lady had the perfect way of explaining the importance of allies and being there for each other. 🙂👍
  • @Jinaria101
    The setting of this segment really hits home for me even though I’m not an immigrant but some of my cousins have grandparents that come from Mexico
  • @CA2SD
    This is so common at the workplaces that I only wish ppl had the balls to stand up like her. Too often ppl do NOT speak up because it doesn't affect them personally.
  • @mariocastro7379
    Had to watch it again! Love that last real American Lady! Made this old vet proud to see this!
  • This was probably one of the better episodes of WWYD this season. Great work!!!
  • @MsLulu-jr4on
    We need more people like the first guy. Love him!!! 💙
  • My sister is Native American living in Texas with her Mexican husband. She has to carry her birth certificate because she cannot produce a green card because she’s not eligible for one given that she was born in the United States.
  • @joeboggio4002
    Latino immigrants do not have the luxury of hiding behind their skin color. If someone sees an immigrant from Norway for example, no one's really going to think about it unless they speak. However, people like myself who are Mexican-born but American, people notice us right away
