Steven...Big Brother's resident gay and idiot du jour has already embarrassed gays and southern folks. First with his "colored girl" remark and then for showcasing his lack of reading. He's only read one book in his life!! Gaea, help this foolish child...by kicking him off the show!
The quote - Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped (Elbert Hubbard) - springs to mind!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the least educated they are, the most pontific they become. They don't even realise they are offending anyone. I suppose his usage, no matter how 1950s or 60s is was could have been worse by dragging up the show stopping "N" word, if we are to give him credit for anything. Sigh. . . we have years and years to go before race becomes a dead issue. If he weren't bigotted, he wouldn't have used "coloured" at all to describe her. Saying she was a woman would have been plenty but I think he sees colour first, then the person.
