When Seth Rogen is talking to RZA near the beginning of the film, RZA says something along the lines of "Kramer gets a pass by me...." and Seth replies "That's very forgiving of you."
I'm assuming that someone called Kramer was racist or something along those lines.
Can someone please tell me what it means? Thanks.

Michael Richards--the actor who played Kramer on the TV series Seinfeld--got into trouble a few years back when he was doing stand-up comedy and was heckled by some African-Americans. Richards got into it with them verbally, and it escalated until Richards dropped the N-bomb on them. The incident was captured on camera by someone, and he has branded a racist for the incident (I don't actually believe he's racist, by the way. He was caught up in a performance rage and just wanted to yell something back at them that would shock them and give him the last word, so to speak.)
Anyway, that's what the joke in the movie was in reference to.
Thanks, its been bothering me for some time now.
