But as she left, she circled the offending commoners, leaned toward Callaway, pumped her fist and said, "You need to go back to the colonies!"

Marchetto and other witnesses said Young marched up to the princess' table and demanded, "What did you mean by that, 'back to the colonies?' " "

"I did not say 'back to the colonies," Princess Michael retorted. "I said 'you should remember the colonies.' Back in the days of the colonies, there were rules that were very good. "

"You think about it," she told Young. "Just think about it." "

""What she said has connotations to when black people were slaves..."

I think some people have overlooked this little fact. Telling them to go back the days of slavery is unquestionably a racial slur. I don't care how you spin it.

Where is her reference to slavery? I don't see it anywhere. Could it be that she meant something benign and these people want it to mean something bad just to "feel offended"? Some people are just looking for a reason to be offended.
