I think he knows that very well, and that's the point he was trying to make. Whether or not he meant to evoke memories of Trayvon Martin, he was (correctly) stating that we all have prejudices, whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. His honesty is refreshing, and very necessary. Comments like his do a hell of a lot more to start real constructive, nuanced discussions about prejudice than the hollow hypocritical pieties other rich white people spout out during times like this.
