It doesn't offend you when he says it's his job to get your black ass into college?

Why not?
Because he will. That man will get my black ass into college.

It doesn't offend you when he says it's his job to get your black ass into college?
Not really.

Because he will. That man will get my black ass into college.
(about Harvey) Is he a nut? A big one. A racist? Probably. But he doesn't come from hate and the kids know that.
Well, a lot of bigotry here does come from hate, Marla, and his behavior helps foster it, even if it's unintentional. There's no such thing as a benign bigot.
I know I'm old-fashioned, but am I a racist?
Yes, Harvey, you are an old-fashioned racist.
I don't know whether to hire a lawyer to sue you or leap across that desk and break your neck.
You'd have more success with a lawyer.
