Trivia:

• This is the only time Ruckus believes the truth about him being black.  His racist views only got worse, believing he had to live the way he thought black people did.
• This is the second time Ruckus mentions his “condition” revitiligo is the reverse of Michael Jackson’s vitiligo
• Ruckus chastises Tom for wearing a kilt and supposedly mocking Mel Gibson who starred in Braveheart
• Tom references African-American author, Alex Haley and his book Roots
• Ruckus alluded to several African American fraternities, including Omega Psi Phi “barking like dogs,” Kappa Alpha Psi “jumping up and down with candy canes,” and Alpha Phi Alpha “Jail Phi Jail.”
• The character Wedgie Rudlin, a caricature of Reginald Hudlin, says he learned a business theory known as “Negative Elevation” from Harvard.
