I DON'T support this - Johnny wasn't a racist - he was playing on Don Rickles tendency to poke fun at anyone of any race in his audience. You'd have to see Rickle's show to understand where Johnny was coming from. He knew a camera was on him - he would never have said those things and meant them if he wasn't parodying Rickles' comedic style. And, Rickles loved everyone - he just showed how stupid saying those things really was.
