Celebrate diversity
Take a look at the cover to today's Red Eye. The cover story is about multi-racial people living in Chicago. It's an interesting story, and bless Red Eye, they sure try to put things on the cover that will interest young professionals and other types.
Of course, I loved the caption to the cover image the most:
How awesome is this? According to the cover story, Mr. Mayfield is the son of biracial parents. His mom was half-black and half-white, as was his father. So, what kind of "diverse activities" does he enjoy? I could just imagine: he starts off with a shopping trip to The Gap and Banana Republic, and then goes to a rap battle? Or maybe he plays a pick-up game of basketball, and then caps it off with a polo match.
What other "diverse activities" might a biracial fellow enjoy? No stuff white people like jokes, please!

How about observing high tea at the Drake Hotel, followed by soul food in Bronzeville?
This reminds of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine thought her boyfriend was black, while he thought she was Hispanic. Once they found out, to their disappointment, that they were "just a couple of white people", Elaine asks "So what should we do now?" and the guy replies "I don't know - wanna go to the Gap?"
