On Monday night, The Neighborhood on CBS had a special racist Thanksgiving episode.

In the episode, titled “Welcome to Thanksgiving,” Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) invites his next-door neighbors, the Butlers, over for Thanksgiving. Both families are excited until Dave finds out that his mother, Paula (Marilu Henner), is coming from Michigan. Upon learning the news he decides he has to uninvite the Butlers because he's worried his mom will say something offensive or embarrassing. "Remember when she went off on that lady about how we need to 'Build the wall?'" he asks his wife.

According to Dave, "she can be pretty conservative"… but to the Butlers, that is a synonym for racist.
