Default Donald Trump: Candidate called a racist on Saturday Night Live TV

BBC News Article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34759190

Video of the 'incident':


In short:

The group, Deport Racism had offered a "bounty" of $5,000 to anyone who heckled Trump during the show by calling him a racist.

US comedian Larry David took it upon himself to shout "you're a racist" during Trump's opening monologue, in what looks to me like a skit that had been staged beforehand.

Firstly, why do 'Deport Racism' think that yelling a word at someone on a TV show is going to solve any problems? Is this the best way to tackle racism? How about going into schools? Working on improving race relations? I think it's obviously a good cause but they're misguided.

Secondly, watch the video. This isn't making a joke out of Trump as the BBC article suggests, it's making a joke out of the word 'Racist'. Another step towards rendering the term meaningless?
