Boston Legal, Season 3
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?
