You know, this brings up an interesting thing that I've noticed. Are there any African-Americans in this group?

PS- Tiki Barber does not count.

I was wondering the same thing because the guys who are going to re-open The Luau Room in Louisville, KY as a sports bar are black. I didn't think anything of it and the guy I spoke with, Mike, seemed really interested in it.

Then last night my husband floated this idea that they might think this is some kind of rich white person thing. My impression is that yes, it was, way back when. However I'd like to think we've reached a point where we can all be Tiki.

Please tell me that this is not like the Unitarian Church, trying desperately to be all-inclusive but no one but white people ever join their church. They hold Kwaanza festivals where all the participants are elderly white people. It's funny to watch but also sad because they really are sincere.
