There were but four survivors from the sunken ship:
the captain, a black guy, an Asian, and a white guy. The captain
announces that the dinghy they're in has room and supplies to sustain
only three people, and one must leave the boat if any are to
survive. He's the only qualified seaman, and must stay. To
make things equitable, he says, I'll ask each of you questions, and the
first to miss will be thrown to the sharks.
He first asks the African American, "When did the Titanic sink?"
"Monday, April 15, 1912" he quickly responds.
Very good says the captain.
To the Asian he asks, "How many perished?"
"1,503," he immediately responds.
Excellent, says the captain.
Turning now to the Caucasian, he demands "Name them."
What? I'm a "democratic racist?" Are you s-iting me?
