Everyone's a little bit racist...

After the whole Michael Richards fiasco that happened a week ago, it got me thinking...according to him that was the first time he used that word negatively and directly to someone...so, maybe the writers of Avenue Q are right...even if you don't like to think so...everyone IS a little bit racist sometimes....

Princeton: Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?
Kate: Sure!
Princeton: Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?
Kate: Yeah
Princeton: Well, he's Trekkie Monster and you're Kate Monster
Kate: Right
Princeton: You're both Monsters
Kate: Yeah
Princeton: Are you two related?
Kate: What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!
Princeton: Oh, well I'm sorry! I was just asking!
Kate: Well, it's a touchy subject. No, not all Monsters are related. What are you trying to say, huh? That we all look the same to you? Huh, huh, huh?
Princeton: No, no, no not at all. I'm sorry, I guess that was a little racist.
Kate: I should say so. You should be more careful when talking about the sensitive subject of race.
Princeton: Well, look who's talking!
Kate: What do you mean?
Princeton: What about that special Monster school you were telling me about.
Kate: What about it?
Princeton: Could someone like me go there?
Kate: No, we don't want people like you-
Princeton: You see?! You're a little bit racist.
Kate: Well, you're a little bit too.
Princeton: I guess we're both a little bit racist
Kate: Admitting it is not an easy thing to do
Princeton: But I guess it's true
Kate: Between me and you, I think...

Both: Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes. Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes. Look around and you will find, no one's really colorblind. Maybe it's a fact we all should face, everyone makes judgments based on race.

Princeton: Now, not big judgments, like who to hire or who to buy a newspaper from-
Kate: No!
Princeton: No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!
Kate: Right!

Both: Everyone's a little bit racist today. So everyone's a little bit racist, okay! Ethnic jokes might be uncouth, but you laugh because they're based on truth. Don't take them as personal attacks. Everyone enjoys them, so relax!

Princeton: All right, stop me if you've heard this one.
Kate: Okay!
Princeton: There's a plane going down and there's only one parachute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...
Kate: And a black guy!
Gary Coleman: What'choo talking 'bout Kate?
Kate: Uh...
Gary Coleman: You were telling a black joke!
Princeton: Well, sure Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes
Gary Coleman: I don't.
Princeton: Well, of course you don't-you're black! But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?
Gary Coleman: Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!
Princeton: Now don't you think that's a little bit racist?
Gary Coleman: Well, damn I guess you're right!
Kate: You're a little bit racist
Gary Coleman: Well, you're a little bit too.
Princeton: We're all a little bit racist
Gary Coleman: I think I would have to agree with you
Princeton/Kate: We're glad you do
Gary Coleman: It's sad but true! Everyone's a little bit racist-all right!
Kate: All right!
Princeton: All right!
Gary Coleman: All right, bigotry has never been exclusively white

All: If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit, even though we all know that it's wrong. Maybe it would help us get along.

Princeton: Oh, Christ, do I feel good!
Gary Coleman: Now there was a fine upstanding black man!
Princeton: Who?
Gary Coleman: Jesus Christ
Kate: But, Gary, Jesus was white
Gary Coleman: No, Jesus was black
Kate: No, Jesus was white
Gary Coleman: No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black
Princeton: Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!

Brian: Hey, guys what are you laughing about?
Gary Coleman: Racism!
Brian: Cool
Christmas Eve: BRIAN! Come back here! You take out lecycuraburs!
Princeton: What does that mean?
Brian: Um, recyclables. Hey, don't laugh at her! How many languages do you speak?
Kate: Oh, come off it Brian! Everyone's a little bit racist
Brian: I'm not!
Princeton: Oh no?
Brian: Nope! How many oriental wives have you got?
Christmas Eve: What? Brian!
Princeton: Brian, buddy, where have you been? The term is Asian-American
Christmas Eve: I know you are not intending to be, but calling me Oriental, offensive to me!
Brian: I'm sorry, honey. I love you.
Christmas Eve: And I love you.
Brian: But you're racist too.
Christmas Eve: I know. The Jews have all the money and the whites have all the power. And I'm always in a taxi-cab with a driver who no shower!
Princeton: Me too!
Kate: Me too!
Gary Coleman: I can't even get a taxi!

All: Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true. But everyone's just about as racist as you! If we all could just admit it that were are racist a little bit and everyone stopped being so PC. Maybe we could live in harmony!

Christmas Eve: Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!
