It got pulled because of that line. I thought about it but determined we are overly sensitive from the Imus thing. Still producers decided to censor it. I feel like we are now way over sensitive here because of the way it played out with Imus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523367819063663925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685903.post-56570178007054822292007-04-19T16:32:00.000-06:002007-04-19T16:32:00.000-06:00I think it is the way you say generalizations.

Saying "A lot of illegal immigrants come from Mexico and work at construction jobs." is not racist because it is a) a non-judgemental statement and b) is supported by quantifiable information. What Imus said is neither non-judgemnetal (I think just calling the basketball players 'hos' was offensive enough to cause controversy, let alone the rest) Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620935129369892579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685903.post-3377211961255100612007-04-19T13:15:00.000-06:002007-04-19T13:15:00.000-06:00I think the big problem (and one you touched upon)...I think the big problem (and one you touched upon) is that people like Imus are being paid the big bucks to say outrageous things. These individuals seem to be in competition with eachother to say the more outrageous thing. Until this is addressed, stuff like this will continue to happen.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334846713290013451noreply@blogger.com
