"Maybe the lowest point for me (off the top of my head) is when he was asking a bi-racial couple who were expecting a child what color they want the kid to be."
The part of the concept of this show always has been 'Larry says things we all WANT to, but can't say', in my opinion. Things we all WONDER in our minds, but would NEVER, ever dare say out loud in any way.
I mean, in the end, they are not a big deal - who cares what kind of texture or color your car has, or what brand stereo it has. A physical body is not that important, it IS temporary, after all. It's just SAD how this world treats people differently based on their physical body. A bus driver will 99% of the time stop so the door is exactly where the woman stands, so the poor thing doesn't have to walk even 1 cm in any other direction but forward, regardless of all the other factories.
She could be the most evil female dog in the Universe, but the bus driver simps for her because of her body.
The same way, black people have privileges, rights and abilities and status - immediate 'victim status' because 'historic slavery', that white people can't even dream of. And yet it's just a body, it could be the same soul that lived a full incarnation in a 'white body', that is now celebrated as a 'victim' and gets affirmative action JUST because of the body.
Of course the whole 'shade' thing is even more irrelevant - who cares what shade the skin is, THAT is not going to give someone privileges or take them away from them. I mean, if you are classified as 'white', you can never be a victim (at least if your body is a heterosexual male), even if your skin is technically darker than someone, whose body is classified as 'black', and who absolutely has that and many other statuses, and even the right to say words the other human being is not allowed to say..
..it's CRAZY, how much the physical body matters in a world that is supposedly ALL about equality and against prejudice based on the physical body.
