Obviously, based on the author's resume item "professional black person", it was a deliberate, if heavy handed, choice.

Whoever wrote this piece evidently missed that one. I think this is my least favorite episode. At least it was brief. Know that aphorism about “show, don’t tell” in narrative fiction?
