Ahem. With that, she has certainly committed, from a race realist perspective, the crime of deducing the unquestionable success of the black race because of one hard-working restaurant worker.
I groan under the weight of this one: blacks are no different from whites, every other white person wants to say, because there was a black guy in my fraternity/Army unit/whatever who was a real great guy, so there.
And yeah, you can see why the anti-racism crowd saw this as patronizing — she’s sipping her cocktail while the house slave scurries around, and "Oh dear, I do prefer the house Negroes to the field ones, don’t you know?"
