I need to know, is "generic" code for "white" here? Or is it something else?

  Generic in the same sense as this quote: “In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.” -Toni Morrison So maybe white, but possibly not. It is a personal decision. It is a statement about one's personal politics where one sees their identity as either apolitical or that it ought to be apolitical. Perhaps even that identity politics itself should not be a thing. A politics of generic identity. I said 'men' because I was referring to Stone and Parker. Their politics epitomize genericity and a politics of being apolitical which is functionally a reactionary politics.

    You're taking quite the issue with the comedy stylings of a tv show that has long taken shots at anything that takes itself seriously. I suspect you take your politics very seriously indeed, but that doesn't make them actually serious. If you learn the distinction, you'll have less agita over entertainment.
