Maybe it does, but I am not convinced. And again, Cherry's intention in this instance is pretty irrelevant. The fact that he said what he did could also indicate a deep-seeded prejudice that he did not intend to reveal, but did so accidentally. That doesn't in any way excuse him.

Would he take issue with immigrants that don’t value veterans? Probably
Would he also take issue with Canadians that don’t value veterans? I don’t doubt it
But then you also have to manufacture an apologetic for explaining away what he actually said.
