What do you call a black man in the sky?



So have you figured out the answer to this question: "What do you call a black man in the sky?"

The reason I asked this was because I am amazed at how much effort a person puts into answering a simple question. Its just like asking, 'what do you call a nun who cycles?'. The answer is a simple: CYCLIST! But because its a nun, the replies I got was an amusing, NUNCYCLE. What the hell is a nuncycle?!

Same goes to this question. What do you call a black man in the sky? There's many answer to this question. It could have been a skydiver, a pilot, an airplane passenger, etc. But nooo... The answer I got was a shocking Black Sky, just because I included the word black.

Would it have made a difference if I rephrased the question to 'What do you call a man in the sky?'

Obviously I can't use this to sieve out a racist. But it just shows how you can unknowingly be a racist yourself.
