Ethnic#1 was spoiling for a fight, so s/he dropped into a bar to see if s/he could rile someone into a ruckus. After downing a double s/he stood up and announced: "My name is Brown, B-R-O-W-N, and I'm Ethnic#1 from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. And byI hate those low-down good-for-nothing Ethnic#2's!" Well, the few Ethnic#2's in the bar decided they didn't want to tangle with this guy/gal, so they either headed for the restrooms (pun intended) or remained quiet. Seeing s/he was getting no response, the Ethnic#1 gulped down another double and stood up to announce: "My name is Brown, B-R-O-W-N, and I'm Ethnic#1 from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. And by I hate those low-down good-for-nothing Ethnic#3's!" The Ethnic#3s in the crowd were no more anxious to fight this guy/gal than the Ethnic#2's were, and they similarly managed to make themselves inconspicuous. So, the guy/gal chugged another double and stood up to announce: "My name is Brown, B-R-O-W-N, and I'm Ethnic#1 from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. And by I hate those low-down good-for-nothing Ethnic#4's!" And, you guessed it, the Ethnic#4's in the bar ALSO managed to find ways to hide - either under the table or out the door. Getting somewhat frustrated the Ethnic#1 tossed down another double (none of this alcoholic intake seemed to be affecting him/her in the least, by the way) and stood up to announce: "My name is Brown, B-R-O-W-N, and I'm Ethnic#1 from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. And by I hate those low-down good-for-nothing Ethnic#5's!" To his/her surprise a little Ethnic#5 stood up at the back of the bar and announced: "My name is ______, _-_-_-_-_, and I'm Ethnic#5 from the top of my head to the crack of my ass, where I'm brown, B-R-O-W-N. (I guess the only ethnic group I've managed to specifically offend is those persons with the name of Brown. To them, and them alone, I apologize. - KDE)
