"There are a couple of terms that are used in connection with minorities, usually by guilty white liberals. First one is "happens to be". He happens to be black. I have a friend who happens to be black. Like it's a fucking accident. He had two black parents? Yes. And they fucked? Yes yes. So where does the surprise part come in? I should think it would be more unusual if he just happened to be Scandinavian. And the other term is "openly". He's openly gay. But this is the only minority they use that for. You know you wouldn't say someone is openly black. Well maybe James Brown. Or Lewis Farakhan! Lewis Farakhan is openly black. Collin Powell is not openly black. Collin Powell is openly White. He just happens to be black."
