Guys!
It's cool. Everything is totally cool.
I haven't had a boss who wasn't a white male in nearly a decade, women are still harassed at conferences, and we can only find white guys to talk at a conference about a language invented by a Japanese guy.
But Camillo's class has foreigners in it, so everything is completely okay now.
