Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

Remember when Italians were a boogyman race?

Racists today are just lazy, relying on skin color to discriminate. Back in the day the Irish weren't "white". The IRISH!

Grunts were great. I still get amused at the reaction to a plasma grenade stuck to them. "Not again!"

Reminds me of the conspiracy theory Time Cube.

The guy who thought or Time Cube, evidently unhinged, attended a university to defend his claim.

After saying something racist, a person in the crowd claimed they were biracial.

"You're WHAT?!"

Apparently the concept of people from different ethic backgrounds creating children is a nonstarter for some...
