okay, is anyone in this thread here Black?
anyone?
anyone?
or another kind of visibile minority?
yes, after a little consideration, I'll count women along that. (numerous reasons behind it, trust me.)

now, for the standardized "straight Caucasian males" here, are you sure there's absolutely nothing that in just one word or one sentence that doesn't call you out by your lineage (exampli gratias: "your mom's is so fat...") which wouldn't set you off? curious, as I know plenty of white guys that do have a trigger point (term used for image, not for accuracy). really and truly, however, if said comedian says something stupid on stage, and that's NOT part of his normal act, I don't see how people are going to SUE THE CLUB for "emotional distress."

I'm Black by the way, call myself Canadian or Jamaican-Canadian (as my parents were directly from Jamaica), and think that SUING THE CLUB is utter hogwash and poppycock. What the hell is that about? As for that Finnish version of Santa Claus, if his associates were originally Moors, then they SHOULD be darker skinned. They aren't slaves, they are servants who willingly help the guy get the job done. It'd be like insisting (for Americans) that every episode of The Lone Ranger that his "good friend" was a different nationality every week. What's up with THAT?

My two cents Canadian. Take it or leave it as it is.
