Eddie Izzard has a hilarious bit about that name change


I know, that's why it came to mind. He should have went with Slut Bunwalla.

I hired an African American man that has two letters as a first name. CD. It doesn't stand for anything and isn't an abbreviation of a longer name. That's it. Just CD.

Forgive the ignorance, but is he one of them “Caucasian Mexicans”? Gotta be.

Fun fact: All Hispanics are 'caucasian', because they originate from Hispania (aka Spain).

It wasn't until they started reproducing with the 'Indians' in Central America, that they were associated with being brown. But the US Census records each and every one of them as white. Unless they self-identify by checking another box.
