When I wrote the names of our maintenance team in the log book, I wrote them as Howling Mad Murdoch, B. A. Barracus, and Faceman from The A-Team. As the guy with a mohawk and beard, it was assumed that I was Mr. T's character. While just about everyone made noise about, "If you're Mr. T where are your gold chains?", not one person said anything like, "But you're not black."
When a man is made fun of for his gold levels and not his melanin levels, I'd say society is making progress.
