"One thing that I rarely do is play games. I quoted your words back to you. Could you not have just said "woman" instead of "black woman?" I mean, she's still a woman, right?"

I see your point. I heard it discussed on the radio, along with the fact the interview used the term "fag" as well.

The jist of the conversation was: Did this constitute "disrespect" by Arnold towards blacks and homosexuals?

He might have as easily said: "...a blonde woman."

Since the whole thing was 26 years ago, and doesn't seem to reveal any expressed prejudice by Arnold, my reading determines it is fairly benign on that issue.

Not so benign, however, is the content about loose sex and drug use. That may not go down well, with a few voters.

How do you feel about the article itself, regarding the "woman" aspect? Do you feel Arnold was disrespectful (way back then)?

It would not surprise me if that were the case. Then again, some women tend to just throw themselves at celebrities.
