Agreed, I think he's taken at face value when what he's getting at is rarely that.
That comes with pitfalls from both sides; one that will think he's just being hateful and hate him from it, and another that will think he's just being hateful and celebrate him for it. Chappelle to his credit hasn't gone down the route of leaning into and actively pandering to those people like some other high profile examples (Jordan Peterson would be exhibit A for me).
