I went to an Asian-American party

But where were the Americans?

Pardon me, Diversity, I don't mean to be rude

But where are all the people that you meant to include?

They're missing out on all the wine and all the catered food - the Americans!

I went to an African-American party

But where were the Americans?

I went to an African-American party

But where were the Americans?

It isn't my intention to exacerbate

But how on earth are we supposed to all assimilate?

We band together, forming groups along the racial side

But all this exclusivity just deepens the divide

The chasm of disunity is open ever wide - the Americans!

I went to a Caucasian-American party

And everyone was White

I went to a Caucasian-American party

And everyone was White

Everyone was smiling and having lots of fun

In terms of colored people, though, I was the only one

And though I was invited, I still felt out of place

For no one can completely disregard ideas of race

As they, I'm sure, regarded me as just a special case - the Asian, Caucasian, Afro-Arabian, Mediterranean, Latino-Australian… American!
