Reminds me of the line "You're the pot calling the kettle black" which was said by a white woman (on the Apprentice reality show) to a black woman. The black woman went ballistic.

Saw that. What bothers me is that the white chick didnt blast her for her utter ignorance regarding the saying.

I would have said, "Your reaction to that famous line just shows that stupidity and sheer ignorance transcends all races. Ill let you do some research when you get home to find out the meaning of the saying. Idiot."

Yeah - I saw that. Just ticked me off big time. I wish I could sue for all the short jokes I hear, being a petite woman. At work the other day, they were calling me a midget, a dwarf, a munchkin and I took it in good stride. I'm five feet tall so I don't qualify anyway. The funny thing is that there IS discrimination against small people. Tall people get better jobs, promotions, etc. It's a proven fact. Where's my lawyer? Where's the ACLU on discrimination of us short people? What about that obnoxious song that one guy wrote years ago with the lyrics "short people got no reason to live?"

Wasn't that ludicrous? Omarosa has GOT to go. Unfortunately, she is black and the producers probably have given her protected status.

It took exactly one episode before the race card was played and look who played it.

Her parents taught her well. The poor little victim.

***** Seinfeld reference alert!

The "Cigar Store Indian" was a great episode treating the hazards of innocent racial-ethnic references. I'll look for some quotes.
