Brown bag racism II
RevSean replies to my previous posting about a discussion of "brown bag" lunches and the potential racial meaning of the word by saying that the phrase wasn't really banned.Perhaps it wasn't - to me, that's not the biggest point. It amazes me that well meaning people think that there could or should be a serious discussion on the topic of whether "brown bag" is racist.
Could you imagine if The Daily Show with Jon Stewart got ahold of this discussion? We'd be the laughing stock of everyone under 40 and lots of people over that age.

Not to start a firestorm of controversy AGAIN, but two SKSM students who were in the room at the time told me at GA that it was clear to them that the term "brown bag lunch" most definitely "banned" that day, no matter how nicely the wording was put.
