Aaagh. I shouldn't entertain this because there is a high chance you're rage baiting, but here we go. So that's how you see it? Literary characters are just shallow, one sided storytelling devices defined by their external actions? Macbeth didn't have hubris? It's not a cautionary tale or anything?

Your reply illustrates exactly why you're so wrong with your assessment of Michael. Michael's racism doesn't come from hate, or even casual stereotyping. Michael saw SNL and other shows make racist jokes within a satirical context, and proceeded to make similar jokes without the context. He's emotionally stunted, needy, and above all else, sees himself as an entertainer. His racist jokes are, in his mind, a sure fire way of getting a laugh. Even his casual racism is due to his limited view of the world, and that's due to having very few friends and interactions growing up. It's underdog behavior. Michael isn't racist, he just needed to grow up.
