As the writer of the sketch, any disrespect I have for Colin Powell has nothing to do with his race. "Boy," as noted above, is a nod to the line "Excuse me... Miss!" I've never heard anyone say that was sexist. "Colin Powell"'s speech patterns are based upon those of the character played by Michael Palin ("...played by Michael Palin") in the original Dead Parrot Sketch and are not intended in any way to represent any American dialect.
