BTW, it's evocative of a scene from Mississippi Burning where Gene Hackman's character tells Willem Dafoe's character his poor racist dad killed his black neighbor's mule because he couldn't bear to see a black man doing better than him.

Most definitely misconstrued, and I am afraid purposefully so.
