// THE GREEN COLORING OF THE GRINCH WAS INSPIRED BY A RENTAL CAR.
In the original book, the Grinch is illustrated as black and white, with hints of pink and red. Rumor has it that Jones was inspired to give the Grinch his iconic coloring after he rented a car that was painted an ugly shade of green.//

spathi - // The sun is slightly racist ...//

Racist is an absolute, like unique.

You can't be 'slightly' racist, in the same way that you cannot be 'almost' unique, you either are, or you are not, there are no degrees.

I haven't read all the posts but would like to point out that snow is actually white.

Just as the rose is red.
