Actually, I think you were supposed to be a bit offended by it.
I was in Aspen (free lift passes) and saw a guy doing the avant garde comedy "Meet a black guy!" in a booth there a couple years ago. It fit really well with Aspen. He was literally the only black guy around. His buddy was selling snowcones out of a pile of scraped up snow from the road. I did not want one.
It was during some film festival and I got them to confide in me the fact that they had been hired to do this street comedy.
