Are there any African-Americans in this group? Has anyone ever seen an African-American at a tiki function? Clearly, the original tiki scene was not, shall we say, a shared experience among blacks and whites in America in the 50s. But are there any blacks who dig it now? The cultural divide may be too big on this one. We certainly have fair representation among Asian/Pacific Islanders, and at least some Latinos. Anyway, just a thought. -martin PS- Tiki Barber does not count.
