A rule of thumb I go by: if you have to preface a statement by saying "I'm not a bigot", or, "I'm not a racist", then the ensuing statement probably does not need to be said.

And I'm usually at the front of the line yelling, "Fire him." But here in the context of the point he was making, I think Williams was demonstrating that there is still a palpable fear out there and when we see a muslim on a plane, thought cross our minds. I don't think he was saying, "Those muslims on planes are dangerous!"
