I remember it because that was a very tasty taco.


Ok this is just crazy, blackjack is a card game??


It is. It's also a black leather bludgeon and a brand of chewing gum.

Ridiculous.My first thought would have been the fairy tale but maybe the complainant was never read that story as a child.

I've had racism thrown on me more times than I can count (as a half-Asian) and no one bats an eye.

I'm sure someone complains, but it usually falls on deaf ears.
