I like the selection of traditionally non-black activities. Like skydiving. Most of my black friends think the entire idea is just asking to die.

I never thought about it, but yeah, skydiving does fit that description.

I wonder if fire performing does, too, because... see, when I'm at work, they have the tv on all day. Sometimes they watch Judge Mathis. Not too long ago, he had a defendant who just happened to be a fire performer (as the lawsuit had nothing to do with her performing habits). Both she and the defendant were black. Mathis said, "So, she can spit fire..." and the plaintiff said, "Yeah, I hope she blows herself up."

That and, well, including that woman (who I've fruitlessly tried to look for footage of), I've seen all of three black fire performers in my life. And bear in mind, I spend an awful lot of time finding performers from all around the world. Movement artists are overwhelmingly white, with the exception of the masses of Japanese nationals into them.
