How fun. I was reading the blog Stuff White People Like (which could probably be called "Stuff Middle Class People Like" just as successfully), and found this on the topic of gay friends:

Gay friends are an essential part of a white person’s all-star diversity roster. But they are always on the lookout for the ultimate friend; a gay minority.

It is generally accepted that a gay black friend with a child is considered a once in a lifetime opportunity - like a quarterback who can pass, run, kick, and play linebacker. White people will crawl over each other for the opportunity to claim this person as a friend and add them to their roster of diversity.

What I like about this is how little sense it makes unless you have a clue about American Football. Play line-whatnow?
