He answered - Yes, Blazing Saddles. He was further asked, which part. He replied - all of it, haven't you seen it.

I like to think he's poking fun at every racial stereotype and, at the end, where everyone (whites, blacks, and Chinese) is building the fake town to protect the real town, shows that we have more in common than differences.

I never understood the ending, but it's still funny.
