From the song "White Christmas" I came up with a couple of questions that I'm looking for answers to.

#1. If we in America and England and such are dreaming of a "White" Christmas, what are people in the southern hemisphere thinking of? I mean they couldn't possibly want snow in the middle of summer, do they?

#2. Isn't White quite the politically incorrect term? I mean what about the people of different races? Isn't White another phrase for Caucasian-American? Or should we be dreaming of a diverse Christmas, where the people hold hands like back in the day? A little help here would be well appreciated.

Perhaps this would recieve more help in the Officer's Lounge.

And, uh, white is referring to Snow, not skin color. I don't know how the hell you got any racism out of that song, but you either need to not try so hard, or chill out and get a life.

Well, you'll notice that he referred to snow in his first point. That would make the racism think a joke, based on so many people's fascination w/ political correctness.

But I think you're right about this belonging in the OL. *moves it*
