Type-casted time-traveller, action!

from Das Racist – Puerto Rican Cousins Lyrics on Rap Genius

This line is intentionally confusing. Who would be typecasted as a time-traveller? No one I can think of. It’s racist without specifying which race.

Typecasting is “the process by which a particular actor becomes strongly identified with a specific character; one or more particular roles; or, characters having the same traits or coming from the same social or ethnic groups.”

He says “action” so abruptly because that’s a hard impromptu role to act out without thinking hard about.
