AGREED! I didn't like that part of the speech at all and it felt like, honestly, typical man missing out on the casual sexism that he was JUST ADDRESSING with the casual racism. HE JUST EXPLAINED casual racism earlier in his speech, this sort of "well, it's not really that hurtful, is it?" attitude. And then he undercuts himself by saying this.
So, yeah, he missed a huge opportunity. Rock used to be edgy, at least, I thought he did. But I feel like in these past few years, he has made statements like this that I can't quite figure out.
