Well, haven't your Greek boy-friend told you? we eat white woman especially
fat ones....

   Definitely. We don't like white people. For example a Turkish newspaper
TURKIYE, once upon a time published a very nice equation (actually a function)
with name DISLIKED_WHITENESS.


 ASSUMPTIONS:
               y = f(x)     { x: 0 <=  x  <= 1 }
       where 
           y is the amount of dislike  which varies between 0% to 100%
           x is the amount of whiteness. (0 is pure white, 1 is black)

 THEOREM:  
                     (x - 1/2)^2
                     -------------
              1     e   scaling    
       y = ----------                    Gaussian equation for
            scaling                      DISLIKED_WHITENESS.


NOTES:

   1. If the guy is transparent, how are we gonna calculate the amount
      of resentment towards the guy. Well, there are some other techniques
      to cover this gap up. For example one is a unified theory of
      DISLIKED_WHITENESS and WAVELETS. We will give this unified theory
      later, ok?

   2. If the dude is a black hole (not an asshole), what happens. i.e. if 
      the guy is so black that no energy can escape from him/her. A 
      research is going on in Marshall Space Center in Huntsville Alabama.
      As long as I get information about the results of the research I'll let
      you know. 

   3. How can x (amount of whiteness) be measured? No problem, there are
      some state-of-the-art machines (high-tech) in Turkey that can measure 
      the whiteness and can calculate the DISGUST.

  You're welcome. Don't forget we eat white women especially fat and white 
ones. Himmmmm, are you fat?
