It was so coded no one knew what the **** he was talking about until it was explained to them. Allen probably knew what the implictions of the word were, but it's highly unlikely that it was calculated to appeal to the audience. It went straight over their heads. Nah, even if he'd called the guy "Jimmy" it'd have been insulting in terms of Allen's tone of voice. Which is OK in a political campaign. But the "welcome to America" part was anti-immmigrant or perhaps racist. But perhaps the funniest thing is that Sridarth was born in Virginia whereas Allen was not.
