I used to get calls from a man in Colorado (re: two time zones and many states away) asking for the male clinic. I have no idea how serious his problem was that he needed to call New York, but after the fifth time and in the middle of class, I told him off, and have yet to hear back from him.
Next time I just plan on fucking with him, no pun intended.
Also, at camp two years ago, one of my friends was in 'Parade' and they were about to rehearse the cake walk scene after Leo's conviction. The choreographer said this was "a traditional negro dance". Note: the cast was entirely white and Jewish, but this was still enough to make everyone's eyes bulge.
Recently, my dad (uni professor) told me of an incident two of his classmates had with a music teacher. One of them asked him how to deal with a teacher who told him, "you're pretty smart for a black kid.", and another asked the same of, "you Asian people always tend to do well with learning." Ah, old people.
