That reminds me of the time I (Cacausian) went with a couple African-American partners to do a basketball game in a town that was all-white as well as the visitors. My partners were the only non-whites in the gym that night. Someone from the stands yelled "hey, if the token white guy makes a bad call, there's always that noose around his neck!" I tried not to laugh, as well as my partners. Wow.
