And that's the real issue.
The hypocritical media sees itself making overtly racist comments, such as those speculating on the how under-endowed Lin must be, and headlines thundering with racial epithets as un-cleverly chosen double entendres, and they realize that they are being exposed for making fun of someone who is excelling in a traditionally African-American sport, and they realize that they are, in fact, hypocrites.
Or rather, Lin brings out their hypocrisy for all to see.
