<p class="MsoNormal">I wish I were black</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can’t you tell?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Black is cool,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">it’s chic, hip, in.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oppression is very twenty-first century.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish I were white,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish my inside matched my outside,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">my passion for equality would be seen as admirable.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have always wanted to be rich like white people,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">to be innocent like white people.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish I were an Asian woman.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To live with every guy of every color,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">longing to bag me, the exotic beauty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would give massages and bend to their every whim,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">it is the Asian woman’s duty to serve.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish I were gay,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">being gay would be absolutely fabulous.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would have better fashion sense and constant sex.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All day long I would chase after straight men,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">that’s what a gay guy does.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish I were Latino,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">as a Latino I would eat great food.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I could dance up a storm,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">be <em>en fuego</em> in bed,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">no man can compare to the Latin lover.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish I were a foreigner,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">than I could laugh at American ignorance.</p>
