              By the way... I say thee whatever to Trebek's gaffe. He wasn't making fun of either of them, he just hadn't met too many male nurses or female carpenters I guess.

              I say the same about people who grew up insulated, see black folks on the metro for the first time, and get uncomfortable. They aren't racist, that's just what you do when people act in ways you don't expect due to your lack of experience—the exact same thing happens when people unaccustomed to dealing with Tourette sufferers are forced to deal with them at Starbucks or whatever. They get quiet and cautious, and try not to draw attention to themselves. It's not hate or judgment, just caution and unease borne out of ignorance, and a biological response that's literally older than the hills. And it goes away once they've more experience with people different from themselves, so, BFD.

              My success rate for convincing people this isn't a horrible analysis is about 13% but I stand by it.

              Please love yourself.

                  I've recently become fully aware that those sensitive to racism will tend to read into random interactions. This was a kernel of knowledge I gleaned from NextDoor. While the neighborhood was batting around the idea of organizing a BLM march because a crazy white guy in my neighborhood visited some of his craziness upon a Black person, some other Black people helpfully noted that the neighborhood seems nice and when they go out for a walk, everybody smiles and waves hello. Gosh. I don't do that for White folk I pass by. Now I have to be sensitive to whether a person of Color I pass by might consider my lack of cordiality to be a dog whistle.

                    So they aired this episode because of the extremely rare ending of all contestants with $0 after final jeopardy. Didn’t happen again for another 30 years.

                    The question answer was basically, “This is the date on which the 20th century began”. Do you know the answer question?

                    I learned something new!

                            @Aqua-Letifer that is so good, and likely so confusing to those unfamiliar with the Jerky Boys

                              Yep. People go by the judgments formed by their experiences. Period. It has been ever thus. It seldom has anything to do with the other person outside of familiarity.
