Many thanks for keeping this post going! I'm pleased that Jun won but rather ticked that the jury was so churlish when casting votes.

Many thanks for keeping this post going! I'm pleased that Jun won but rather ticked that the jury was so churlish when casting votes.

I was wondering when it was going to hit Jun that she had just won a half-million dollars so she could express happiness about it, but she was more concerned about the negative vibes toward her permeating the room, and didn't seem amused at all until she ran into the arms of her ex.

I was surprised that Jee was so forgiving of those racial slurs directed his way. I don't think I would have been, because I believe people don't say things like that out loud "out of frustration" if they've never said them in private before. (Remember Hillary's allegedly calling an aide a "f*cking Jew bastard" despite the fact that he wasn't Jewish?)

There are plenty of ways to express frustration with someone without embracing bigoted stereotypes. I am a black man, and in the rare occurrences in which my intelligence has been questioned, I can remember only a couple of people who made my ethnicity part of it -- and in both cases, you would have expected that sort of thing from them.
