I don't think so. It was somewhat satirical at times, so you're going to have a few chuckles.

I laughed so hard at times due to the unabashed and shameless horror of it all. It's very ill-humor indeed.

I think there was endless humor in this thing as tho every white character was justified in his behavior, then there was absolute puzzlement over why black characters reacted the way they did, especially if it touched an Ameircan white nerve that we could not deny.
