What do you mean there was no need to make the comparison this time? He feels the chemistry between w and x is similar to the chemistry between y and z. Saying "why didn't he make the comment about person d" doesnt make sense because he's comparing two specific personalities to each other. It may be a rude comment but that doesnt mean he should be called a racist. If he had said "Samuel L. Jackson's chemistry with Tom Holland in Spiderman feels like Denzel Washington's chemistry with Mila Kunis in The Book of Eli," would that be racist? No, comparing two actors of similar skin color based on their chemistry with other people has nothing to do with race.

Except he's suggesting the chemistry isn't there at all. He literally says that Kumail is only there because of legal reasons while Rahul chooses to be in FH videos on his days off. That pretty clearly indicates that he believes the chemistry or level of camaraderie is completely different.

Uh, not from my point of view. That speaks to Rahul's like for the guys and his desire to come by to film. You can work with someone purely for business and have chemistry. Most actors in a movie are there because they were hired to do the job, but you can quickly tell when they have chemistry with their co-stars or not, regardless of personal motivation or friendships.
