LIONEL PODCAST: Racial Dolezal Is Crazy, Publicity-Starved and White

Racial Dolezal. Get it? I stole this from Howie Carr. It’s a great pun. The word “race,” denoting lineage, comes from a French translation of haras (silent “h”) into the Italian razza — which in Italian of that time applied to animals, not people. This points to current English and Italian usage being derived and adapted, respectively, from the French.
