This is the same show that devoted an episode to How Racist We're Not and didn't have two characters of color talking to each other at any point in the episode, never mind talking to each other about anything other than a white person. In fact not a single season one episode definitely passed the race Bechdel test--the nearest we get is Missouri and her customer in Home, which is probably a race-Bechdel pass, but if the customer's wife is white (which is unlikely, since most couples are not interracial, but possible), then the whole season fails. (Don't know about other seasons offhand, as they haven't gotten onto Characters Count Wiki yet. ...fuck I can't remember whether this episode passes the race Bechdel. I don't think it does--didn't Ganesh only get a line after the elephant bit, and wasn't Zao Shen only talking to one of the white guys?) So the fail this episode is entirely believable in context.
