Interesting you are using politically correct 70s and 80 words to
describe something that went on in the 50s an early sixties. I call
bull****. You are not the only person I know from New Haven.

That you know someone from New Haven doesn’t mean he or she was someone I
knew or who hung out with my circle of friends or friends of friends. We
were a diverse group. The president of my senior high school class was a
black guy. Lots of us dated multiracially. Two of my closest friends were
immigrants, one from Hungary and the other from Cuba.

Uh Huh.

Harry forgets I attended high school in the New Haven area in the
mid to late 60's.

The students in the school I attended came from a wide range
of backgrounds. Many had upper middle class to "rich" families with a
high percentage of parents being professionals .... doctors, lawyers,
business owners, etc. Not all, of course; the demographics also
included students from families of lessor financial means.

I also had friends and dated girls from surrounding schools and towns,
including New Haven proper. At least two of the girls I dated were
minorities although I didn't realize or even consider that. They were
just attractive with great personalities.

I don't recall *anyone* having PC issues with "Confucius Say" jokes
in those days.

Harry must have "hung out" with a *very* special and unique group,
consistent with everything else he does or has experienced.

That's why I say, "Bull ****".
