Teddy is boozing it up, Diane is neck deep in her own stink and Dicky... who know... I dont even think he knows

Doesn't this sound racist at its best, what about children of other nationalities, What the hell happen to diversity. Man if this was any other group of all one nationality they would never hear the end of it.

Kind of like the schools in Calif. have to be diverse unless they are all spanish children. As they say everything for the race and nothing for anyone else!!
