Race
So, FX has a new show coming out soon called Black.White. where the take a black and white family and through makeup turn them into the opposite race so that they can experience first hand what the opposite race goes through. It's a great concept that will generate dialogue on the race epidemic that still permeates our society.
But, isn't this just the same concept as the old SNL sketch where Eddie Murphy goes "undercover" as a white man called "White Like Me" ... except not funny?

Lucky Day: "In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!"
Would you say I have a plethora of gifts?
El Guapo: Well, you just told me that I had a plethora, and I would just like to know if you know what it means to have a plethora. I would not like to think that someone would tell someone else he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
