It time for a little awareness on the subject of race.

Once upon a time a comedian like Don Rickles would call an Italian a grease ball, an Irishman a drunk, a Puerto Rican, a spic a Jew a kike an Arab a towel head a German a kraut, an Asian a chink an African American a n-----r ( I have trouble saying that word) a Frenchman, a cheapskate and we all laughed.  Now in this politically-correct society we say it is offensive to use these terms. Let’s think about it for a moment. Are you really a racist if you use these terms? Or are you using the only description you know to describe a particular person in the simplest way possible.  Let’s face it. When Italians came to this country, they had greasy hair and cooked with a lot of olive oils – hence – Greaseball. The Irish started drinking on the boat before they even arrived – hence drunk. The Puerto Ricans – I don’t know that one.  When the Jews came to Ellis Island, they signed legal documents with an “O” instead of an “X” – you know the Jew, he is going to do what he wants, not what you want.  Hence, “Kike,” from Kikel   (Yiddish for circle). A little circle is a kikeleh (pronounced Ky-kul-uh) – say it – it’s cute. For the Arab, it’s an easy one. He wears a towel on his head. Therefore, he is a towel head. The German loves his sauerkraut – that one is obvious.  The Asian has slanted eyes, so we call him a chink. For the African American, we use the infamous “N” word. – have you noticed, I still can’t say it. 

And now, for that famous Frenchman we call “CHEAPSKATE." - You figure it out.
