That's not a racist depiction, that's an example of equal rights in its' purest of forms.
Blacks routinely make jokes about themselves and their love of bbq, watermelon, chicken. I've heard it, you've heard it and when the jokes are told, we've all laughed (cause it was fucking funny) and exactly the goal of all the jokes to begin with.
To say that blacks can do/say something and it's ok but a white person can't do/say the same thing is what's racist.
If anyone adheres to that type of (ok for me but not you because of your race) mentality, then that is what is racist and maybe they would like to go back to the days of who gets to sit where on a bus or separate water fountains or ordering food from the back window of restaurants.
It's equal rights - not special rights - and that goes both ways. If it's ok for you to do/say, then it's ok for me too. There is no in between....
People really need to get over themselves sometimes. I don't go all "up in arms" any time I hear a "white dude's can't dance" sketch. I laugh my ass off...
