Summary:  "From former Saturday Night Live comedy writer and "Weekend Update" host Colin Quinn comes a controversial and laugh-out-loud investigation into cultural and ethnic stereotypes. Colin Quinn has noticed a trend -- Our increasing political correctness has forced us to tiptoe around the subjects of race and ethnicity. Every ethnic group has differences and this diversity should be celebrated, not denied. Quinn mixes his own personal experiences with conversations with people from different ethnic groups to discover which stereotypes they find funny, which stereotypes are based on truths, which have become totally distorted over time, and which are actually offensive to each group, and why. As it pokes holes in the tapestry of fear that has overtaken discussions about race, this book serves as an antidote to our paralysis when it comes to laughing at ourselves and others. Colin Quinn is a stand-up comedian and writer. He has recently toured the country for his one-man show Long Story Short, which was adapted into an HBO special."--Publisher.
