I went to school w/ a Tron...and I work with a guy whose name is Sonik (Pronounced: Sonic).
I've also met a Mario and a Luigi, although they weren't twin brothers, nor plumbers.

Tron is the richest man in the world. He won all his money with a hot hand at dice.

No, it doesn't make a difference, other than idle curiousity. It's gone too far when somene can't even MENTION race anymore.

I have no problem with people mentioning race when its relevent. I do however have a problem with it when race doesn't have anything to do with what someone is talking about.

I couldn't agree more...

Maybe he asked because Dave Chapelle played someone named Tron on his show and *gasp* Dave Chapelle is black! Or am I not allowed to say that?

It's relevant because it's a question. It's not racist. It's not offensive. The color of someones skin is a characteristic. If we saw someone named Tron who had freckles, it would make sense to ask, "did your guy have freckles?" That's the guy I saw!

How about Adam 'Pacman' Jones from WVU? Pacman isn't his given name, but that's what everyone calls him. Oh yea, Pacman Jones is black.

Never see black guys going into a school in trench coats with several shotguns, ammo and plastic explosives

Link to original picture. Strong language warning.

First off I did not call him racist. Secondly I would agree that a persons skin is a charechteristic. If you knew someone named tron who was black and you were checking to see if you were talking about the same person it would be within reason to ask that question. however asking if someone is black based on their name alone is uncalled for.

My fiancee and I decided to name our first son Richter Belmont and our second son Simon Belmont.

I also used to work with a woman with a daughter named Mileena. When I said "Hey cool, like Mortal Kombat!" she confirmed yes, it was from MK. Her husband wanted Kitana, but she didn't think that was a good name and compromised on Mileena!

i was going to post this pic in the thread about musicians using arcade sounds, but it goes well here. it also goes well in the watching people play your cab thread. these two guys are from an aussie hip hop band called 'the herd' from sydney. one of those groups where the exact number of band members varies. anyway, on the right is 'snaps' and on the left is 'beserkatron'!! i kid you not. of course it's not his given name but still...

p.s: dave chappelle sure does blow...
