You're right, dumb****. Confucius didn't say that or anything like it..

You must have been locked in the basement when the "Confucius say"
jokes were going around. Lighten up Francis.





The "Confucius Say" jokes weren't a "thing"Â* in my crowd growing up,
they were offensive, and they weren't culturally relevant ....

yada, yada, yada ...

You are full of ****.

LOL! And his HS basketball coach is the best that ever was. Too funny.

Of course, harry never played for him. He was too busy taking "practice tests".

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.

The "Confucius Say" jokes weren't a "thing" in my crowd growing up,
they were offensive, and they weren't culturally relevant. We had a
substantial number of Asians in New Haven when I lived there, and those
sorts of jokes would have been as frowned upon as jokes about blacks,
Latinos, Jews, Hungarians, Polish folks, et cetera. I never lived in a
mostly WASP neighborhood or attended a mostly "white American" public
school.

The most offensive gag I remember is a sight gag that Sam Bender, the
super basketball coach at our high school, had posted on the door jamb
that led to his office. It was pasted on at the 6'6" measure and said,
"If you ain't this tall, you can't play on the team." Some short people
took offense, but Bender was only 5'5" and it was a joke.

Bender might have been the greatest high school basketball coach of his era:

Heck, my best friend growing up was 2nd generation Chinese. Lots of Asians
in my area, and even they laughed at Confucius jokes. They even laughed at
Charlie Chan movies, and he was white.

Harry still tries to take his moral outrage from the 70s and 80s back
to the 50s and make us believe it. I'm sure he thought the Lone Ranger
and the Cisco Kid was racist too.

Your anecdote is like mine another anecdote


But mine is true. Not a lot of racism in my area. Yes, it was there, but
not like Maryland and the Northeast. I saw more racism in the Northeast in
my travels, than I saw in Mississippi when I was stationed there. We had a
mixed race high school. Asians, whites, Hispanic, black. My class even
had a black president one semester. We had good athletes both white and
black. Couple of the blacks in my years were really good. Couple white
guys also. Cornell Green was in school when I was there. Only Green
brother not athletic was the one in my class. Good guy, just not athletic.
Cornell’s older Brother was Pumpsie Green. Who you should have seen if
going to Red Sox games.
