This weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Chris Rock, a comedian who is never one to shy away from controversy or uncomfortable discussions about race.

The SNL sketch "Women in the Workplace" was no different. In it, Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong are the hosts of an awkward '90s diversity-training video, while Rock plays a "diverse person."

"Have you ever accidentally offended a diverse person so much that you walked into a closet and stayed there the rest of the day, even though every time someone got their coat, they saw you in there?" McKinnon's character says.

The mock diversity training video then recommends that viewers do damage control by trying to "out-diverse" those they offended.

"Show up in a wheelchair, and tell him you're a lesbian," Strong's character says.
