People in Hawai'i talk about different races up front. People joke about it all the time without being so hung up on things. Some people take things to the extreme, but it's a lot more light hearted than here on the mainland.

***ing Hawaiians, indeed! :D

I mean, I'm Sicilian, Portuguese, Hawaiian, Chinese, Cherokee and French... there are way too many slurs that I need to keep track of... ;)

NO! Not French! Say it isn't so! ;)

Well, I try my best
To be just like I am,
But everybody wants you
To be just like them. ~ Bob Dylan

"Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!"

Tom Lehrer

Oh la la! :)

Apparently, there's a great story on my mom's side of the family of someone having an affair with a French smuggler. But like most word of mouth things with my family, it's probably bullsh it.
:D

I think Yoda explained it best.

Well, no. Actually, I think GD explained it best.

But, I'll quote Yoda anyway: "Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to the Dark Side."

And now, for some Violent Femmes:

Black Girls

I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
C'est, c'est, c'est vous I'm after.

All comes a faggot white boy.
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
as I rebel and riot.

Shall I dig the white boys?
All so much more that the black boys.
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say harded.

You know I love the Lord of hosts,
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that he's inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.

I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.

Sac, I'm surprised at you. You haven't read The Da Vinci Code yet? Mona Lisa=Amon L'Isa. Amon (Egyptian god of fertility) and Isis (Egyptian goddess of fertility) as one. That dude has tomatoes with a side of pickle on her.

Yummmmm. Tomatoes and a Pickle......nasty food at it's best. Makes for a good sandwich.
