Was it an email listing everyone named David?

Yes. It was very long, and single-handedly filled up my gmail account.

what about David E. Kelley?

I'd love to hear Larry David's thoughts on his whiteness.

He's hit or miss.

I knew Larry David's cousin in high school; do you think I should email him and ask?

Sure, why not? It just needs to be one line- "Does or does not Larry David consider himself white?"

my guess in larry david's case is that he would consider himself "white" when needed for comic purposes (e.g. "i'm such a lame white guy), but that his natural paranoia stems from his feeling of "jewishness" superseding his "whiteness," (e.g. "they're all looking at me funny because i'm jewish.")

which is how i feel most of the time. which is why i hardly ever feel white.

ps, you must like some tv writers not named david.

sure, but i was generally thinking of writer/creators. but george meyer is a genius. larry charles is pretty good. jj abrams, joss whedon, and aaron sorkin have their moments, and so do matt stone and trey parker.

aaron sorkin does not *have his moments.* aaron sorkin kicks the asses of everyone else mentioned in this post.

Even the guy I knew in high school?

especially the guy you knew in high school.
