On one hand, yay for beating up racists.

On the other hand, well, that's not really going to solve the problem of them feeling persecuted.

Nope. I watched a few seconds and then got distracted by a piece of colored string.

No no, I didn't mean that as like a low-self esteem thing, I meant that as a Oh, duh- totally misread the tone of your comments. Yes. I am planning to call.

Sorry, I'm going to get a little analytical on the comedy so bear with me...

I felt this bit really fell flat. After the initial reaction to the juxtaposition of the racists being the target of discrimination, they just play the same card over again but it really doesn't go anywhere. They don't build to anything more, no effective comic heightening.

By contrast, I think this bit plays off the stereotypes of racism far more effectively:
