I think you're right, but I decided to raise the question because I think there is a weird sort of glee that liberals often have when they detect or expose racism--I think straight liberals are the same way with homophobia. Sometimes, when you're on the receiving end of it, nothing about it is amusing. I watched this and was shocked, caught off guard, etc., but never a smile came across my face. Thanks for commenting!
