funny!!

When I born, I ASIAN
When I grow up, I ASIAN.
When I go in sun, I ASIAN.
when I cold, I ASIAN.
When I scared, I ASIAN.
When I sick, I ASIAN.
And when I die, I still ASIAN!

You WHITE *** When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
When you bruised, you purple.
And when you die, you gray
So who you callin' COLORED

Thanks for that, Anon.

The amendment is slight but, um, significant...

I live in Alabama,  racism is certainly not funny here, but there IS racism. The blacks keep the whites in check.

 For instance there is a Miss Black America beauty competition, but no Miss White America, there are "Black" churches, but no "White" churches.  The blacks can say and do things the whites are not allowed to do - not that I would ever want to - but that's how it is.

 There is a black comedian called Chris Rock, the poem posted by santa is the kind of humour he would enjoy and his mainly black audience would stand up and cheer.

 I watched a routine of his the other day, he said "You white folks, there aint a white person in this room who would change places with me.... AND I'M RICH!"  he said, "When I came in I saw a white, one legged, one eyed busboy, AND HE WOULD'NT CHANGE PLACES WITH MY BLACK ASS." The audience roars with laughter at this. We white folks is good natured.

Can you imagine a white comedian with that routine?

I thought the original poem posted by santa was funny. I thought the Asian version offensive.

This is some crazy stuff. I never had a laugh like that before. But what are you going to do when a white person gets all defencive about this. Sighned Forever White

<I removed the red highlight that hurt the eyes and replaced it by White, of course!  Smile [:)]  Pieanne >

(And I edited down to a decent size-- MM)
