multiplicity (work on cultural sensitivity)

Does she like P*lack Jokes?
I don't think so. We talked about it once. But that was a long time ago.
Does she get mad about them?
Nah.
It's not like I like them or anything. Just curious. P*lack jokes are actually really dumb. Second dumbest to blonde jokes. That are actually interchangeable. Just change P*lack to Blonde.
Yeah. I think the word P*lack is kind of funny though, even though I think it's offensive to the Polish people.
It's like Spaniard to the Spanish people I think. I didn't understand what a P*lack was forever, but I knew the jokes like the back of my hand.
Yeah. I think that's why I liked the word. Coz I always just had a weird image of what a P*lack was in my mind, completely unassociated with Poland.
I imagined guys that looked like Gilligan for some reason, or even more like the little guy on Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Ha. I imagined a pale, bald, doughy type of clone person.
Not even a real person? That's crazy.
Like on Multiplicity, even though this was before its time, how each clone gets stupider. I imagined that's why they were so stupid.
Oh. Like the Michelin Man?
A little bit. Michelin Man's body with a Mr. Clean head.
Ha. So Krang's body then.
Haha. Yes. Basically, a P*lack was Krang to me.
I can see that I guess. I did always picture them in gray mechanic- or inmate-like jumpsuits too. I don't know where that came from.
Yeah. I don't think they ever had separate pants from shirts in my mind. Some sort of onesy.
I wonder why that is. It is definitely dopier looking.
I think I would really be into P*lack Jokes if that's really what P*lacks were.
That's true. I think that's what ruined them was finding out what a P*lack really was.

I bet you're glad I don't look like some pale Michelin hybrid...

Just because I am a Pole:

And, for fun: Famous Polish people.

Thanks for working on your cultural sensitivity, btw. :)

I have never heard of P*lack. For a minute I was thinking this was some strange way of pronouncing black.

Subsitute the "*" with an "o"—rhymes with "no lock"
