Yeah, he said what any rational person actually thinks. Anyone who doesn't is lying, plain and simple. This reminds me of when Jesse Jackson got some bad press for saying that if he was walking alone at night and there were black guys behind him, he'd feel more nervous than if they were white guys. His larger point, that there was a cultural problem that made this unfortunate, and that they needed to fix it made sense, but the remark at face value got all the press.
