Huey: So how long have you been out here waiting for this movie?? Man: About five weeks. Huey: No job, no school, no nothing? Man: Nope. I'm a full-time "star wars" devotee. Huey: Must be nice to be white. Man: That reminds me - my parents are late with my allowance check.
Reminds me of that great series of skits that Eddie Murphy did back on Saturday Night LIve. He’d put on a white-guy disguise and find out the hidden truth of what it was like to be white.

But then his boss, another white guy, puts his head in the room: “I’ll take care of this, Simpson.” He pulls white Eddie into his office and says, “Sorry about that. Of course you can have a loan,” and then claps him on the back. “We’re all in it together.”
