I have a cousin who used to work with Jerry Seinfeld's brother, and he said that Kramer is really supposed to be an African-Amer--aw jeez, never mind. No one will believe me.

Finally someone has gotten to the root of how ridiculous all of this ethnic-concern is. Now I'm off to continue my crusade against Kosher omelettes!

I think you are right. No white man is a cool as Kramer.

Yeah, but remember that one episode where Kramer was dating the African-American woman He fell asleep in the tanning bed and when he went to meet her parents, they commented, "I thought you said you were bringin' home a white boy. All I see is a damn fool!"
