Fun with Race

The only thing more fun than making light of political correctness is making light of all the phony P.C. nature of fabricated racial outrage.

Lewis Hamilton, recently won his first Formula One race and American media widely reported he was the first African-American to win a Formula One race. The only problem - Mr. Hamilton is British. The media, however, as it often does, is so concerned with being P.C. that it will obscure the truth. I just find it funny.

On a side note, I do not understand the definition of "black." I guess if you have any black immediate ancestors, you are considered de facto black. I just think it is unfair that, for example, our Asian friends are denied the racial glory of Tiger Woods, who is half Asian. Isn't Mr. Woods the best Asian golfer in history? Incidentally, Mr. Hamilton, like Barack Obama, Hale Berry, Beyonce, etc., is only half African-American.

Oh, for the day when we're no longer obsessed with race and labels ...
