Oh lets talk about the racism incident shall we? Should kill a number of posts.
Now that was an incident truly blown out of all proportions. Looking at the original footage, she said nigger in a totally and utterly inoffensive manor. I believe the after effect only became so large due to the daily mail effect. She was trying to be friendly, and because of the way the media posed it lead a lot of people to believe she was a racist. Which I see no evidence for beyond circumstantial.
I am appalled at the backlash the comment got from the public. I see it as a grievous attack to freedom of speech as a whole. Fundamentalist Muslims can voice their ill founded objections to the armed forces but a woman cant call another woman a name in jest which would be acceptable if from another person with a similar skin pigmentation? This just seems wrong to me.
