This is interesting because if he really wanted to conceal that he's racist, he never would've told the story in the first place.
And it doesn't matter whether he also consider height and such, it was still a racist attitude. And that's assuming he wasn't lying here to save face.

If it's so hard to be real and honest about what's being discussed in this conversation, then go play a relaxing video game instead.What? What are you babbling about? Is this just some lame attempt to insult me? How childish.

How ironic.
This whole "why should we believe a word Neeson says" attitude is hilariously stupid because, once again, you only need to think it through for another couple seconds to realize that Neeson could've simply opted to not tell that story if he wanted to remain some closeted racist. Then you tell me I lack insight. Hilarious.
