Yesterday, while swimming laps at the NYC Parks and Recreation Pool in Chelsea, the Fake Inner Racist in me thought: "A black lifeguard? Isn't that like, an oxymoron? They can't be serious; is this some kind of joke? We all know black people can't swim- to save their lives and especially mine. I've seen Survivor, man, and those black dudes just sink right to the bottom of the ocean everytime."
The lifeguard most often on duty at the Williamsburg pool directs most of his attention to any cute girl in the slow lane who doesn't know how to swim. He saunters over and offers her a free lesson in the crawl while swimmers in other lanes could be drowing en masse and he'd never know. Correction: if the drowning victim were a hot girl who lost her top in the process, he'd be all over that.
