It pretty much is, though a lot of it's implied more than stated because James is only onstage in a handful of scenes. But in pretty much every scene he's in, he's mocking Albus for being in Slytherin.
Albus: [Raises hand] Professor, Professor! Did you by any chance write a play about a Japanese emperor when you were younger?
Slughorn: No, the play was about 100% English people dressed up in kimonos telling each other they were Japanese, but that seems to have gotten lost in translation somewhere. Twenty-first century people have no sense of humor. After all, look at the idiotic play we’re in now. It’s enough to give theatre a bad name. Thank God it’s not a opera.
