In the first episode of the second season of The Chappelle Show. Dave showed a skit called the racial draft. Before they show the skit Dave gives a precursor. Dave Chappelle is a skinny black man, in this episode he has a mustache and a small goatee. Dave stands in front of the audience to speak about the upcoming skit. He is wearing a black track jacket with blue and red fabric under the arm along the rib cage extending to the pockets. Dave starts by saying how a great thing about America is everyone is mixed up everyone has a little bit of something different in them, genetically. He describes how him and his Asian wife argue which part of Tiger Woods, who is half black and half Taiwanese, is hitting the golf ball. And the same with Derek Jeter who is half white and half black.

Dave says there needs to be a racial draft to settle these arguments so that anyone mixed racially with be clearly defined as one or the other. The skit starts with 3 commentators speaking about the upcoming draft. Dave plays one of the reporters and the two others are white. All the reporters are wearing suits and are sitting at a desk above the crowd and stage where the representatives from the races sit. There are 5 races that take part in the draft, they include, Whites, Blacks, Jews Asians, and the Latinos. The Black got the first pick in the draft and their choice was Tiger woods. Dave plays tiger woods and runs up onto the stage, he is wearing golfing cloths, a golf glove and carrying a golf club.

Dave depicts Tiger as kind of a dorky character. And Tiger's closing line of his speech is "so long fried rice, hello fried chicken." A very funny play on the stereotypes of both races. After picks by The Jews and The Latinos it was the whites turn to pick. Dave plays his third character of the skit, as the white's representative. Dave wears a lot of make up and a white
