This brings to mind a story that's off-subject (sorry...); maybe a bit of lightness is appropriate, though?
Somewhere in the Deep South a country club is planning a coming-out cotillion, and the organizers go to the local military base to ask if they can send four male officers to help balance the numbers, preferably good social dancers. They extend the invitation, then quietly add that they do not allow Jews in their country club, so could the military make sure to send only Christians and no Jews.
The day of the event comes, and the four Christian officers show up—spiffily dressed in formal uniforms, tall, good looking, smiling, professing to be good dancers—and all African-American!
The organizers who greet them are horrified. One, stammering somewhat, says to the four men, "There must be some mistake...."
One officer replies, "Oh no, there was no mistake. Major Goldberg never makes mistakes!"
