"Are we more homophobic than we are racist? Or more racist than we are homophobic?"

On an early episode of the Michael J. Fox-led sitcom Spin City, there's a joke where Michael Boatman says to Alan Ruck something along the lines of (this is from memory and approximate),

"I know what your problem is, Stuart. See, I'm a black man, but I'm also gay, and you don't know which of your prejudices should win. It's dueling stereotypes."

When I saw this news about the current state of the Republican Party...

David Duke loses it over Michael Steele at RNC

...I thought of that scene.
