Y'all should try being the black person at an Alice Cooper concert. Age don't matter.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been the only man in a lesbian bar a few times. But I was with a friend, and most lesbians in the bars assumed I was gay.

I've been the white person at a Brand Nubian concert.

I've been one of two white (big-haired deathrocker/metal) people at Public Enemy concert. That was an interesting date.

I've been the only human in a barn full of cows.
OK, that wasn't that exciting.

I've been the lone white guy in the audience at a screening of the Shaft remake. But it wasn't anything unusual; in Memphis I was generally in the minority except at hockey games.

ION, Researchers working on dilithium-powered fusion impulse engines
Hear that, Star Trek? Technology is catching up! The University of Alabama's Aerophysics Research Center, NASA, Boeing, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are all getting together to develop an "impulse engine" that's powered in part by "dilithium crystals."
Here's how the scientists describe their own research:
"Star Trek fans love it, especially when we call the concept an impulse drive, which is what it is. The fusion fuel we're focusing on is deuterium [a stable isotope of hydrogen] and Li6 [a stable isotope of the metal lithium] in a crystal structure. That's basically dilithium crystals we're using."
We would be remiss, of course, if we didn't point out that in reality (that is, in Star Trek), dilithium is not quite the same as lithium-6 (which would be, uh, hexalithium?), and also, dilithium regulates the matter/antimatter reaction in the warp drive, not the impulse drive. So good, we've gotten all of our hrrumphing out of the way, let's move on.
Scientists are also working on a demo of a device to warp space-time, hopefully leading eventually to warp drive. We just need some transparent aluminium and we're set!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I've been the white person at a Brand Nubian concert.
I would not have thought such a concert would have so few White people in attendance!
