It’s what keeps Americans from pondering the important questions. Like what a racist Cookie Monster is. Haven’t you noticed how he never eats biscotti? Or pfeffernusse? Or carmelitas? Or baklava? Just snickerdoodles. The whitest cookie in the world. It’s true, so many knee jerk reactions. It’s what keeps Americans from pondering the important questions. Like what a racist Cookie Monster is.

Karen, don't be embarrassed to be white ... be embarrassed you can't high kick like Chita Rivera. I think she's like 187 years old! It’s a beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful speech.

She expounds beautifully about balancing her heritage and experiences, at times checking them at the door, constantly improving to be the very best at her job, which is a continual, wonderful test. It's really a fantastic speech. Oh, and BETTY RULES! Not only were they not racist, I’ve posted the entire speech where they took that line out of context from.
