Yes, it sounds like just another cynical (or knee-jerk) attempt to spuriously raise the race card when there's no real excuse for it. Has anyone noticed that if a black man or a Jew does things that wouldn't be deemed very nice if done by anyone else...and then someone points it out...that that someone gets accused of being either "racist" or "anti-semitic"?

I wonder what Sammy Davis Junior would have to say about it?
