        I see. Very unfortunate. Racism is complicated and more deeply rooted the most will realize and accept. What he said isn’t okay and never will be. I hope he’s grown since then and made amends for his mistakes.

          I think he has moved on from what he did. He was in a semi-recent episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry and I seem to remember they spoke briefly about it. Maybe not, though.

          Unfortunately for him though, there are no take-backs. Nor should there be. He metaphorically hit the lottery, and wasted all his winnings right there on that stage.

        Nope sorry, you’re not allowed to learn from your mistakes anymore. Unless you rationalize that boomers made your actions unavoidable.
