Shirley and Denny in “Guise 'n Dolls”

Shirley

Denny, there's no such thing as "sounding black".

Denny

What do you mean?

Shirley

Certainly you don't think all black people sound alike.

Denny

Well, of course not. Anchors on the news don't sound black at all, and the black weathermen sound whiter than me.

Shirley

It's politically incorrect to say somebody sounds black.

Denny

All right, then "African-American".

Shirley

No.

Denny

"Jesse Jackson-ish"?

Shirley

No!

Denny

Well then, how? What do you say? If a person sounds black, what's the right way to say it?

Shirley

[uncomfortably] ... "Urban".

Denny

White people don't live in cities?
