*laughs* I went to high school with this kid Chip, one of whose parents was Kenyan, and he was sometimes kind of a troublemaker and was forever being all "It's because I'm black," as a joking attempt to get out of trouble, all "You're being mean to me because I'm black" and we were like, "No, Chip, it's because you're an idiot."
So let's see, that bit was a shout-out to the discussions of AMM&co. doing the heavy-handed diversity thing. And Claud misspelling Mallory's name was a shout-out to Layna's complaint. I am such a litgeek, huh? 'Cause then I'm like, "Look, Final Four! It's funny because Final Four is basketball, and black men are disproportionately represented in basketball, but Ari's not a sports fan, so I bet that layerful irony was not entirely intentional" and I'm noting the playing with BSC tropes ("long, graceful neck"!) and yeah, shutting up now.
