Racist?

Makes you wonder how people so dunder-headed ever spawned men like
Bleriot...

That's not racist? One of us is missing something.

I think technically, "racist" would be restricted to actual racially
oriented comments. "French" isn't so much a race, as a culture, community,
or nationality.

As for the comment itself, if you find it surprising, you haven't read much
of Jay's non-flying commentary, if any.

Offensive? Sure. Surprising? Not in the least.
