    Heh, I had to.  The example given on urbandictionary.com was very amusing. Even though "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was the most infuriating and worthless piece of trash literature I've read in 62 years.  Gah I hated that stupid book!  
    I guess you never read Ulysses by James Joyce?

    It's not the names that are racist necessarily.  It's how people react to certain names.  The study is simply revealing unconscious bias, which everyone exhibits.  You wouldn't expect it to impact how dogs are adopted, but it does, and that should give people some pause.

    Well, thinking people, at least.  Unfortunately they're a minority.  
    Don't want to jeopardize WAYDRN so I'll say it here, I may/will get hammered for saying it and that's OK...
    Speaking of unconscious bias, there are many stories in WAYDRN of how new drivers got off easy with traffic violations, I have to wonder if the outcome would have been the same if....never mind, you get the gist.
    Different outcomes for sure:

    No, I guess I haven't.
    I did get tied up in a canoe once, though.

    I am eating at Cracker Barrel.  Deeply offended by the name.  Think I am going to write my Senator.

    I prefer Krystal's, but I will definitely be adding WC to my senator letter.
