in the "The Wizard", Elaine is dating a guy about whom she is unsure as to what is his ethinicity.

In the end, both of them are in Monk's, and after discovering that both of them are White, Elaine says "Come on let's go to the Gap"

So what is this GAP? My room-mate said it is GAP CLOTHING store and I am saying it has to do something with some ethinicity.

Any ideas?

You are both right.... GAP is the The Gap clothing store, and I guess in the nineties, GAP shoppers were known to not as... how shall we put this...... ethnic diverse.... as they are now.... Let's say The Gap was a store where yuppy-white people shopped. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Growing up in the SF Bay Area where the company started, I remember The Gap of the early '70's being just a place to go by your Levis and not much else. Man, what happened?

In my town the GAP is where the minorities go to steal clothing.

One hundred percent Cotton Dockers. If they're not Dockers, they're just pants!

That's a regular Algonquin round table you've got over there.

I don't know what cotton dockers is either.

Are they like underwear or somethin'?

They are a specific brand of (often) khaki trousers, discussed in the season 2 episode "The Phone Message."

Same here. I remember marveling at the selection in their Oakland store on Broadway, circa 1971. Simply a wall of Levis in every possible size and style.

This entry in their timeline stands out:

1983 Millard Drexler is hired as president of the Gap division. Gap Inc. buys Banana Republic � then a two-store safari and travel clothing company with a thriving catalog business.

When Elaine said "So do you wanna go to the gap?" she meant "do you wanna go to my aparment and eat my pussy?".

It's the The Gap clothing store.

Luckily we don't have them anywhere near where I live.
