Fine, let's try that again.

So far, so good (although your definition of the exceptions to racism seem a tad reductive to me, but whatevs).

And here's where your argument breaks down, because, stripped of its original context (which attached the "slave-owner" label to it), the leftover image of "smug AJ in a white costume", as it appears, works when transposed into the context of the movie, and thus constitutes a valid example of the aforementioned case A.

And now you resort to false equivalences and hyperboles, thus finalizing the self-destruction of your own argument.
Sorry, you fail again (at least it was useful to pinpoint how said failure occurs).
