Man, I wish the Lionsgate movie about that one GQ article about some white dude named Devin who tries to make black friends that's been picked up by Oprah and Chris Rock and the people behind Tyler Perry movies was slated to be made not by the rightest, most correctest people ever but by regular white people. Not just any white people but British white people because sometimes even the most otherwise politically correct English dudes says things like "Nigerians make fantastic parking attendants" at normal speaking volume instead of whispering it like American white people do. It would be SOOOOOOOOOO uncomfortablefunny.

I have waited breathlessly for a complement to "White Chicks" and I think my long wait is finally over.
Wait, will Chris Rock be playing the white English dude? I ... I don't think that's how it's supposed to work.
That GQ article was a ripoff of a humor concept that was done back in 2007, here:

That's the original "My Black Friend" movie - and likely always the best.
But there are no regular white people. They all get morally paranoid as soon as you point out that they are white. -- Anywhere I've lived outside the US, the non-racist white folks all seem just a tad less neurotic about skin color than the non-racist white folks in the US are. Why?
