Haven't seen it, so I'm talking out my ass a bit, but I would just like to chime in that there is a difference between *depicting* race!fail, in the context of a character or a specific situation, and actually *being" race!fail. Sabo's descriptopn sounds to me like it's really more a conscious depiction of race!fail.
As someone who writes a fair amount of misogynist characters, but whose work could hardly be called misogynist, it's a distinction I'm eager to to remind people of.
