School Tales: Racial Profiling

My 3rd period class is obsessed with race: my race (they're convinced I'm black), their races (even the Aryan children claim Hispanic blood) and everyone else's too (they would rather die than associate with white people). I get on them all the time because they play the race card when principals discipline them. Let me preface the following remarks with the disclaimer that "James" is African-American. He is a self-proclaimed racial profiler.

James: We went to Kingwood and egged some white people's houses on Halloween.

Ms. K: How do you know they were white?

James: Well, they sure wasn't black. You know a black person be livin there if they got a big ol' car and it worth twice the house.

Briana: Ooooooooooh yeah! (laughs hysterically) My uncle just bought one of them new cadillacs and our house be all ghetto.

*************************************************************
James: Only black people should be allowed to be cops.

Ms. K: Oh?

James: Yeah. Haven't you ever seen one of them standoffs with cops where someone killed someone else? Them white cops all be tryin to talk to the killer: "Honey, jus put the gun down" If it was a black cop, he'd just shoot him and be done with it.
