Crazy old white lady trying on wedding veil: So I always wondered why I didn’t look good in these things…until 2004.
Disinterested customer: Oh?
Crazy old white lady: Yeah, then I found out I was part Native American. At least 5%.
Disinterested customer (confused): Oh…?
Crazy, old white lady: Yeah. That’s why I don’t look good in veils. Cause we Native Americans don’t wear them.
Disinterested customer: I got married in a courthouse.
Crazy old white lady: I hate to say it since I am part white, but damn those white people!

Black guy: You keep hearing about how racist Britain’s getting, it’s pretty scary.

Black guy: That would be an awesome game show.

Flamboyant, very white math teacher: Alright, we have a test on Tuuuuseday, which is also, guess what, the blood drive! So don’t donate blood before the test and please, please, do not donate blood during the test. You’ll be writing with one arm and bleeding with the other, and then you’ll get paler and paler… and keel over and die. Homie can’t fly that. Homie can’t.
