It was ludicrous because no racist would save their one moment of truth and honesty to say "you yellow bastard".
That is hack writing at best and deliberate placement at worst.

"Oh I'm too multicultural to know what a racist might call an Oriental person...just have her call the guy yellow. That will do."

I expect the real deal and everybody knows a real racist would go Gook on that one. Yellow isn't even an insult in the mind of a racist.

Trust me I'm Scottish.

Eh. Nitpicky. Especially since it was from her standpoint a throwaway phrase when essentially he was the only one there to hear it. The "hackier" part was the whole wanting to see his eyes while he died thing... she just got done with indiscriminate mass murder, but this guy she wanted to savor for no reason. It didn't have to be anything over the top... well, more over the top than killing black bystanders simply because they were in the way of her target and not wort the effort of avoiding.

Personally, I think it sounds like a stupid argument that her racism wasn't racist enough for you. Besides, the way this show likes to play with or subvert such expectations from people familiar with the source material, there might be some more truth behind her little "saying without saying" dance with A-Train. Her comment about regular people being beneath folks with super powers might be more accurate than just an excuse to not say black people in that instance. Kinda like old school Magneto logic. It is possible even regular white people are subhuman scum to her, because they don't have powers. But we shall see.
