Re: Race Card

I'll agree that this anti-melonhead reaction has gone to far. That nickname 
has been used on this list for about a year or so I think. It simply comes 
from the fact that AW has a huge head! (This reminds me of "So I married an 
Axe Murderer" with Mike Meyers. I can see the old Scottish dad yelling in a 
thick Scottish accent: "Good God, child, move that friggin' huge noggin' o' 
yours. Would you look at the size of that melon!" The kid was white.)
No one can predict what pedestrian phrases someone on this list is going to 
take offense to. How about the ol' headless chicken outbreak press? 
Shouldn't that be just as offensive/racist as melon head?
