Funny story... (maybe). For a while in college, I dated a very nice woman who just so happened to be black. We were pretty "serious," actually, so I invited her to my parents' house for dinner one night over winter break. My dad turned on The Jeffersons', and to my great embarrassment, and I'm sure to my friend's, we sat through this stupid show while my dad laughed at the pathetic stereotype humor. God, I was uncomfortable. I've never forgiven him for that.
