I judge each individual person upon his or her own merits, but when dealing with groups of people I am forced by Reality to make certain assumptions based upon experience. With that understood, I wish black people would stop being so touchy and defensive over stuff like this. Yes, 400 years of slavery and all that, but every ethnic group was oppressed at some point by somebody. Imagine if we German-Americans freaked out every time a Hogan's Heroes rerun came on.
Ja, ja... especially with all that martial music. :-)
Say, that reminds me... one of the funniest stage productions I've ever seen was The Sound of Music performed as a comedy. Imagine the "gazebo dance" with Liesl played by the oldest women in the cast, and Rolfe by a young skinny black guy (who also appeared later as the goatherd).
And they say Germans are humorless. Why, I didn't even reach for my Luger once.
