Why is it offensive?
I don't know the guy and I have only watched this part of the show, but 
to me it sounds like a sarcastic joke. What he implied is that TV and 
society used to be much more racist and that he is glad that has changed.
Sure, if you take the exact same words and put it in a speach with a 
racist context it would be offensive. In this context, in the way he 
says it and with the reaction of the other guy, it clearly isn't. So 
again: why do you think it is offensive?
