"I was sorry to hear of yet another "Native American Day" (Week, Month, Year, etc.) function recently, this time at the Legislature.

How about Average White Guy Day? White guys could show up, dance out of rhythm and meekly mutter things like "golly" and "gee whiz" - as Eddie Murphy would have it.

Or Black Basketball Player Day. Lawmakers would sit fanning themselves as blacks in robes execute backflips, 360s and finger-rolls at the Roundhouse, all praising King (not the ex-governor but LeBron James) - as Nike would have it. Enough of the stereotypes, people."
