I don’t think she should’ve apologized and grovelled. We don’t need Word Police. We need to accept that people say dumb things, and just move on.
Hey, where is your brain at?
That is WAAAAY to commonsense!
It was actually more than dumb, considering she’s in the spotlight and hopes to have a lot of business from a lot of different backgrounds.
Celebrities either have to walk that thin PC line, or risk losing business over it. We don’t like it, but it’s the truth.
Personally, I don’t care either way. She did what she felt she had to do in order to try and survive and come out with her business intact and I can’t blame her. But doing what she did, where employees could hear, was surprising to me, and disappointing.
But she doesn’t have to please me, just her fans. I ate at her restaurant once. Never will again and would not recommend it to anyone other than as a novelty. Nothing she does appeals to me, personally, but she has her following.
And I really don’t like anyone, black or white, to use that word. It makes me uncomfortable. I was raised an Air Force brat and there were all skin colors in my neighborhood - and my family never used that word. Plain and simple, It’s just crass to me - and uncalled for.
