okay maybe i'm a bit off the mark here, but i had this ridiculous idea at lunch.
since America is the supposed "melting pot" of the world, there should exist American Bingo - a celebration of diversity.
How the game works:
everyone gets a bingo card with different ethnicities in each square. From Inuit to Czeck, Kiwi to Brit.Then everyone gets a Polaroid i-zone ( http://www.i-zone.com ) - the one with the stickers for film.
You go around the city and take headshots of different people and fill in your bingo card.
Most bingo's in an afternoon wins.
whatcha think? Marketable? Ridiculous? Fun? Wrong?

it doesnt sound wrong. your not makign fun of anyone.
sounds like a kind of.. fun.. project to me. but i'd never do it.
youd have to walk around going "soo... what are you" .. "can i take your picture... i needed an indian to finish off this row" id never be able to do that.

"are you brahmin or hindu?"
that could get especially offensive if you got into the castes.
or in touchy parts of the world:
"are you albanian or macedonian?"

are you north korean or south korean, vietnamiese or charlie
yeah, it could get ugly

im sure they're be an easy way to put it nicely so no one would get offended...
but of course as always things would probably just get out of hand.

have a "free square" so that someone like me who is mixed (Filipino and Russian) can play.

all you have to do is take a photo of one person because most likely if they live in america they are German, English, Polish, Indian, African, Eskimoan, hehe, and Russian all in one. Of course we dont count the French.
So Ill just go take a photo of somebody and put his face on all my squares and win.
