As much as I dislike Lynn and Alex, and as catty-sounding as that comment came across (as does much of what they say), I don't think we can assume that they "had no way of knowing" Uchenna's family history. While we never saw Uchenna talk about his heritage with anyone other than Joyce and "the camera," the teams have had plenty of time together at pit stops, including spending the night together there in Botswana. While I have no way of really knowing one way or the other, it seems quite possible that Uchenna may have mentioned to other teams at some point that his father is Nigerian, especially given his obvious excitement about being in Africa.
In any event, the comment did come across badly.
