Smile AC safety video- humorously offensive?

I've been wondering this for a while. Mostly a joke, but after watching the video for the hundredth time I thought I'd ask here... is the AC safety video softly racist?
it is funny how:

1. White man in suit in J
2. White women in suit in J
3. All ethnicities (Asian, black, brown) in Y
4. Gays (I presume...) in Y

Just a random thought. I know the easy answer is that the average J passenger is the white guy in the suit and an Indian grandma will almost certainly be in Y .... but still.

Also what's up with the constant message of heavier items below the seat in front of you and lighter items in the overhead???

The United video the other hand is pretty good for a safety video and retains my attention more than AC!
