something like "Oh, and another thing: he's black." As if it was a relaly big deal that a black man could play poker. It would seem that liberal columnists like Reilly are more shocked than the actual KKK by this fact, and perpetuate the stereotype more than the KKK too. I'm not American, so the column was a real headscratcher for me.Ah, I found the article:"One of the hottest tournament poker players in the world happens to be black. Three weeks into this five-week chipathon Phil Ivey, 25, from Atlantic City, had already won three two-day tournaments, not to mention made it to two other final tables. He'd be the first black to win the five-day championship event."Great, then twenty five years from now we can haul ol' Phil out to present the gold bracelet on the occasion of the "25th anniversary" of a black man winning a poker tournament, sort of like how they dragged Doug Williams out this year to present the Super Bowl trophy on the 25th anniversary of a black QB winning the superbowl. We can all gather around and marvel "he speaks so well!" and "he's so well spoken!", it will be fun!sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/magazine/life_of_reilly/news/2002/05/14/life_of_reilly/Jewish guys are good at cards too, but their friends in the media go through hoops to hide that fact:"f there's anything we can learn from 21, it's that Hollywood won't give an Asian man a starring role unless it calls for someone who can do karate while getting berated by Chris Tucker.In fact, 21 gives us perhaps the greatest whitewash in recent Hollywood history--a broad, sweeping stroke of Caucasian across the majority of the cast.The real MIT Blackjack Team was almost totally Asian"Wrong. JP Massar and the other ringleaders were Jewish, the Asians were basically hired help.www.cracked.com/article_16478_7-movies-based-on-true-story-that-are-complete-bullshit.html
