I can tell you guys one place I've never seen a black person at.

A Renaissance fair.

I went to one once. It made me embarrassed to be white.

Fixed.

It seems we do still do the "fixed" thing.

The Georgia Ren Faire use to have a African juggler who was amazing. He would sing in Afrikaans aswell.

The one I went to was in Gainsville Florida. It probably wasn't a stellar example of the concept.

And the high percentage of Jews in the entertainment industry means that portrayals of Jews in media are very positive and far more regular than the population percentages would warrant.

My thoughts exactly. I heard once that all the Jews in the world amount to be 14 million. If they were all American they will be like 0.046% of the population. For such a low percentage they are very often mentioned and involved on TV/Movies.

There is also some tight connection between Jews and media. For some reason they favour this kind of work. I heard when Egypt started making movies in the 1930's the business was started by Jews.

The differences in cuisine really only becomes apparent when you get to Passover time. So much of the Jewish cuisine has assimilated into the standard American palate in the same way Italian food has.

Exactly, I never thought bagels and pastrami is a "Jewish" thing. I would consider it a regular food variety not tied to any culture or place.

I am surprised at the ren fair hate. The one near Houston is really nice and we go every year, sometimes more than once. I may be spoiled though as it is supposed to be the biggest one. We also get a very wide variance of people.

Big League Chew.

It's still awesome. Probably not so great for your teeth, but still better than chewing tobacco.

Tried chewing tobacco once. Red Man. Tasted like old raisins.

That was my favorite gum as a kid. I loved the apple flavored gum.

Completely random memory about that. I remember being around 5 years old and had to go to my cousin's ballet practice for some reason. The majority of girls there were the same age as me and I was checking an entire pack of Big League Chew to help cope with the sheer boredom of the event. When everyone was finished all the girls came out and I was blowing a bubble and one girl freaked out, thinking I was some kind of frog man with my giant wad of green gum and all the girls screamed.

I was so confused. Girls are scary.
