I know I know I know: poking fun at people who just don't get it is super-cool and keeps you from being too 'white and nerdy' yourself, but I'm just not convinced. Try reporting on something other than other people's misguided reporting. Or if you can't resist the temptation to parody, learn from Weird Ol' Al's wonderful example: he's turned a song about white cops victimizing black ganstas into a song about gangstas discriminating against a guy who's "whiter than sour cream". Give us an article with substance! Uri.
