Wow this made me feel kinda racist. In all honesty I immediately thought "that's really mean that the white guy wouldn't touch those two black guys, so they had to bring in a stunt hand to replace them." Then I realized that maybe its the black guys that don't want to touch the white guy. Well at least now I'm aware of it.
Yeah I didn't think it was racism either but it sounded like the guest was suggesting that it wouldn't be racism if the black guys didn't want to touch the white guy.
As the guest above, I can comment briefly on their thought process. My thought wasn't that it wouldn't be racist if the black guys didn't want to touch the white guy. It was that I immediately assumed that the white guy didn't want to touch the black guys, then I realized that maybe it was the other way around. Since I am a white person, I have a slanted view, thinking that only white people can be racist, when in fact anyone can be racist. By realizing that anyone can have biases, I realize that I have them and I can work on my personal ones.
