7. Sorry, I don't see it
My take on it:

"I can’t really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'"

Pointing out how black people are still discriminated against doesn't sound racist. Yes, he used the N-word, but does that alone make him racist?

"What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you'll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude's."

That also doesn't sound racist to me.

"I don't think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a fuckin' David Duke cock. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick."

It's a fucking analogy, for Christ's sake. Saying he's going to start dating seperately from his dick implies he's going to start dating non-white women. Again, doesn't sound racist.

Flame away, but I just don't see it, and my Puerto Rican wife doesn't either. Sorry.
