It really does. One of my favorite little details you can check for yourself is the disparity in trigger discipline between Mulder and Scully.

I am not sure if that was intentional or just because Gillian Anderson actually has firearm training but I always found that really funny.

Also funny is that this one episode is one of the only times Mulder does exercise proper trigger discipline when he encounters the black dude on night watch.

Mulder has successfully excised internalized racism.
