Reminds me of Jr High and High School. We sure thought we were funny, anyway.

My friend teaches Hispanic kids near San Diego. One of her vocabulary sentences read "At Christmas time, department stores are full of ________ shoppers."

The idea was to insert an adjective, but one kid added the word "white." When she asked him to explain his use of that particular word, he said "Well, you don't see black or Mexican people in Macy's. Mexican people shop at the Dollar Store."
