I loved to play 'Cowboys and Indians'
My favorite book was 'Little Fat Policeman'
I really enjoyed a good minstrel show
Desi Arnaz Jr's accent made my laughter grow
Today I'd be a fat-shaming racist
who culturally misappropriates to boot
Back then I was just another 'normal kid'
in his designer white-privilege suit
