Racism is America's original sin, a stain that never goes away. But that might change. (Woman: Come quick- he's suspicious... prowling...)(Man: Hang up... that's he UPS guy) How do we know? Homophobia dissipated after straights realized that many of their friends and relatives were gay. (Man 2: Andy and Bob are queer?!? But their house is the nicest in the neighborhood!) (Woman: That's actually their thing...) Similarly, attitudes of whites will change once they realize they have black friends and relatives. (Man 2: But as a recent study found, for every 9: white friends a white American has, they have one black friend.) Fortunately, racists aren't the brightest people. (Woman: Aunt Becky? Black. Me too. Black. Brad Pitt? Black.) (Man: Well, in that case...) (Woman: Obama? Black.) (Man: don't push it.)
