Press excerpt:
"The CEO of MPC Computers apologized to Boston College defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka on Thursday for making fun of his name during a banquet before the Eagles' bowl game against Boise State. At a banquet Monday night before the MPC Computers Bowl between the Eagles and Boise State, Mike Adkins read a list of the top 10 things Boise and Boston have in common, including, "No one in either city can properly pronounce Mathias Kiwanuka." Adkins mispronounced Kiwanuka's name in the punchline and some Boston College players said later they found the joke insulting and disrespectful".

The unpronounceable one was black, of course. People as old as I am sometimes make jokes about my name (it is the same name as that of a famous "crooner" of yesteryear) but I treat that as the harmless banter that it is. But you mustn't say anything jocular about black people of course. You must treat them like children, not as equals -- or so it seems.
