Another Non-Man Booker Prize Winning Story Idea
‘Fifty Shades of the KKK’
‘Fifty Shades of the KKK’ is the uplifting story of a white man that desperately tries to show everyone that he is not actually racist, by trying to set his daughter up with every minority under the sun.
After burning his clan hood and robes (an accident at the time, after getting too close to a burning cross at a clan meet), Dave Phillips renounces the ideology of the KKK and sets about restoring his image in the local community. This change of heart was, in part, due to his local Chinese restaurant refusing to serve him after seeing images of his face that had been streamed on Facebook Live during the clan meet.
Hungry and willing to do anything to make up for his racist past, Dave finds willing suitors for his daughter, Katie— all of different races, colours, religious backgrounds and tolerances of spicy foods. There is Mohammad, a third generation Afghan with brilliant white teeth and a PhD in microbiology that still has not gotten him a job. A defected North Korean trying to find his way now that the controlling walls of his life have fallen away, whose diet consists wholly of baklava. A Sierra Leonean man with a successful ice-cream business. Krishna, a Pakistani computer demi-god. A promising African-American pizza chain owner. A well-hung Mongolian with confidence problems. Three Vietnamese brothers — each with a different missing toe.
But the question remains — will Katie find the minority for her? Will Dave be forgiven by the nationalities he has offended? Will he get to try the succulent sweet and sour pork again? And will the ultimate barrier — Katie finding ‘love’ and not just a man — prove enough to halt Dave’s shot at redemption?
‘Fifty Shades of the KKK’ is a rip-snorting, guffaw-belching comedy that promises to squash stereotypes with a heel of good intentions and a misdirected sense of what might be palatable to an audience in a multicultural world.
