Amidst all the current uproar on this group about "paying dues" as
a minority and normalcy and all that, I'm reminded of a Doonesbury
strip from back in the mid 70's (anthologized in "An Especially
Tricky People"):  Ginny is running for congress and Andy is working
on her campaign.  Clyde and Andy are talking:

Clyde:  Hey, man--Ginny tells me you bin recruited to write for her!
Andy:   Yeah, that's right Clyde.
Clyde:  Don't you think you could be kind of an embarrassment to the campaign?
Andy:   How's that, Clyde?
Clyde:  Well, I hear you're gay!
Andy:   That's right--and I hear you're black.
Clyde:  Yeah, but that's normal!
Andy:   Didn't used to be.
