I’m guessing Milar and Hines didn’t consider the Jacksonville owner when writing this strip. 30 white guys, a Muslim and the Packers Stockholders doesn’t flow off the page as well. I’m SHOCKED! that Millar and Hines would screw something up!
Let’s see . . . the Packers “stockholders” (note the quotation marks) paid for a sheet of paper proclaming them stockholders, but they receive no dividends, have no voting rights on significant operation issues, receive nothing if the Packers are ever disolved, and can’t even sell their “shares” to anybody. I get into trouble for this, but whenever I meet any Packers “shareholder” I can’t help but to let out a snicker.
it depends on what you mean by “race.” on the 2010 u.s. census form, whites, blacks, and native americans get a box to check. then there are more boxes and more subleties. one can guess that kahn might decide to check “other asian.” but it’s up to him, and to every american, to self-categorize. no DNA back-up required of the self-categorization required.
i looked up the names of the NFL owners and did not make the assumption that not white because i didn’t know how of if kahn decided to fill out his form. since anyone who isn’t filling out kahn’s form has to guess his race, because that’s up to him and him alone, i guessed something that happens to work best with “31 white guys and the green bay packers shareholders.”

I’ll have to check with Dave Chapelle, but I think that the whites drafted Shahid Khan in the 2011 racial draft.
