Notes on the Olympics / Flawless White

August 20th, 2008Blog0 comments

What I love about America in the Olympics: Whenever a foreign nation fields a team sport, all their players are the same ethnicity. But whenever America fields a team, our players are from all over the color spectrum.

That’s awesome.

One thing I like to say about diversity is that it creates versatility. When you have a fairly homogenous group of people that come from the same background and belief system, you have a limited skill set.

But when you have a diverse group of people, you get a ton of intellectual viewpoints and practical skill sets that give the group a greater edge.

Kinda like on House MD — you need the rich white guy to kiss House’s ass, you need Pretty Girl to question his moral judgement, and you need OMAR EPPS to break into ppl’s houses.

Michael Phelps noms 12,000 calories a day, has washboard abs, and has eight gold medals. That’s stupendous. I don’t know why certain segments of the population hate on him so much — he’s awesome. He’s the best thing I’ve ever heard of. He’s living the American dream by every metric that exists. Like if this was Idiocracy he’d be President.
