A plane takes off from South America on its way to the US. Along the way, an engine fails and the pilot informs the crowd that they'll have to drop some weight if they hope to make it.

All of the luggage is emptied from the plane without complaint from the passengers, but the plane still needs to lose weight. The pilot then informs the passengers that people will have to be shed and the only fair way to go about it is in alphabetical order.

The pilot first says, "Are there any African-Americans on board?" No response.

Second, he asks, "Are there any Blacks on board?" Still no response.

Third the pilot asks, "Are there any Coloreds on board?" Again, no response.

Finally, a little black boys asks his dad, "Daddy, why aren't we raising our hands?" The father replies, "Son, we're going after the Mexicans. We're N*ggers today."
