Yeah, I remember the time I called my wife African American even though she’s a Lilly white, red-headed Irish girl.

I mean, they all look alike, right?

Only to brain-dead politicians and Hussein Heads.

Lara Logan is an African-American woman.

Reading about it, it sounds terrible. How can this guy possibly get his wife’s ethnicity wrong? And yet who amongst us hasn’t had the occasional brain hiccup where the wrong words inexplicably come out? Even family members occasionally call each other by the wrong name. I’ve done it. And it’s been done to me. Stand back from it, isolate it and it looks terrible. How can someone possibly mistake one sister for another, etc? And yet there it is. It happens.

My daughter-in-law is Japanese. Every time we go to a Japanese restaurant she’ll take one look at the staff (all Asian) and say, “They’re not Japanese.” And she thinks it’s funny that I can’t tell the difference. However, she is sometimes mistaken for Korean in Korean restaurants, so I guess the differences are pretty subtle.
