I didn\'t ignore your point. Let\'s go back to your original argument. \"By saying that and then not arguing that she isn\'t prejudiced either, she is tacitly admitting that she is prejudiced and is only denying that her prejudice qualifies as racism.\"
She isn\'t admitting anything. She, in fact, refers to her show as a [[http://www.roadsideawards.com/pdf/dear-white-people-screenplay.pdf \"counter-culture\" movement]]. The idea that she\'s \"tacitly\" admitting anything is a false one. She denied that her show was racist and said that \"black people\" (not herself specifically, but \'\'black people\'\' in general) can be prejudiced, but not racist. The reason \"writer intention\" is important here is because either there\'s a trope or there isn\'t.
However, reading the interview from the director, he states that both the Dean \'\'and\'\' Sam are meant to have good points in that argument. He doesn\'t say \'\'which\'\' points they\'re supposed to be right about, so I think we can apply it in broad strokes.
I can offer a compromise with something like:
WrongInsultOffence: Played with when Dean Fairbanks calls Sam\'s show racist, she states that black people \"cannot be racist\", because racism is tied into power dynamics. She says that a black person \'\'can\'\' be prejudiced, but she never calls herself or her show this either. [[WordOfGod Director Justin Simien]], however, has said that he feels both of them had a point, so the trope is zig-zagged and left for interpretation.
