IANAL, but I think the intent there is to show that a reasonable person would not interpret Wenzel's comment about Nenshi representing "the dark side" as being racist in nature, but rather it was an allusion to a popular film series. Likewise, when Nenshi called Wenzel "the Godfather", he knew his comment would be interpreted as a reference to the film, not that Wenzel was literally the head of an organized crime family.
