LOL! Glad I could be of service on this fine Friday morning. :>}

Is it racist to insist that I be pigeonholed into the (apparent) ethnicity that I had at birth, and not the ethnicity that I self-identified later in life?

I guess Carlin died before he knew about Aaron Craft the ex-All American basketball player from Ohio St. Craft was the starting pt guard and one of the few white players on the team. Craft was known for his All-America type personality and intelligence.

One of the black players on the team said Craft was always correcting everybody about their faulty grammar. Apparently Craft didn't watch much Carlin so he could learn how to speak correctly. /s
