How in the hell is that racist?

First? Obviously the white Australians from "Tap Dogs." Cagney, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire.

Actually, probably Savion Glover, Gregory Hines and the Nicholas Brothers.

The problem with the Sammy Davis, Jr. comment is that when I think of him tap dancing I think of him as a child performer dancing frantically to please white people. Perhaps not what Joe the Plumber had in mind, but . . . perhaps it is.
