Whoever that white 'actor' was, he obviously must have been a simpleton and clearly in the wrong job - If he had to have a co-star inform him that the script isn't his own spontaneous dialogue and the outlooks, opinions and prejudices of the fictional character he was portraying, may not necessarily reflect his own - I don't think I've ever heard of a more ludicrous tale of mindblowing idiocy.

So the man playing the Sheriff took him aside and explained that it was just a word in the script, that he (a black man) knew the other man wasn't really racist.

So, every stupid character was the racists. The smart, normal, caring characters were the non-racists. Mel wanted to fight racism by making fun of racists.
