Sure, I think that is pretty clear. I guess what's odd/shocking to me is the whole thing of it (in and of itself).

I think the broader question or discussion is the notion of race and how it applies in general. How we focus too narrowly on just black and white only to overlook the wider spectrum. I think then, we realize how silly and ridiculous the whole notion is. Especially since in this case it has come around full circle and then some.
