What's the big deal?  DId he insinuate anything that was racially insensitive? This is just trying to find something to be mad at.  

The inference Jones made is that the guy being there with a black girl is worse than him being there with another woman.  If that wasn't the sentiment Jones would have had no reason to mention the race of the "other" woman.

 

From an elderly white man from the deep south it's not all that surprising of a "joke". It's also unsurprising that many would not pick up on the inference.   If one is not the object of racialized comments it might be lost on them.  If one grew up in the crosshairs of comments and jokes like these, it is very easy to discern.
