I'm surprised this episode--along with many others--hasn't been Cancelled as "racist," as suggesting that a given class (species as stand-in for race) of sentient being is innately violent, and failure to be so is considered betrayal of it. This especially when considering the race of the two actors here.
Consider the example of Dr. Ben Carson: His ghost writer had to greatly embellish to the point of deception an incident where Carson allegedly tried to stab a "close friend" (actually a relative--probably his off-limits-to-press brother). He needed cred with the bruthas, and that's how he did it.
Yet George Lucas was slammed for his portrayal of the Trade Federation (Asiatics) and the Gungans (Blacks) in "Phantom Menace."
