“For some reason, the African American culture has influenced most of the student body. How? In African Americans, they have a gene for the pimp walk, which is dominant,” the question stated. “What is the result if you cross (student name) homozygous dominant Latina with a homozygous recessive Hmong like (student name)?”

“In high school, there are individuals who are cross-eyed like (the name of a fellow student) and (the name of the student previously mentioned), which is a dominant trait,” the question read. “We call those individuals ‘weirdoes’. So, if you crossed two weirdoes (the two students named again), that are heterozygous for being cross-eyed, what is the offspring that would result?”

I didn't have 'pimp walk gene' on my bingo card.
