My wife just saw this and at the end loudly exclaimed, "That old man is an elitist pig!"
I like how at the end he all of a sudden becomes comfortable with the guy next to him being armed, as if all of a sudden he had an epiphany and thought better of insulting people who he was scared of as being crazy.
The guy's got an irrational fear, and he's prejudiced.
No different than how the nation once had irrational fears and unfounded prejudices about black people. And no sir, it doesn't make it any better when you say, "Well, you're OK, it's just all the rest of you <insert epithet> who give you a bad name."
