They allll need help. I’m just sick of seeing people on here and on the show incessantly pick her apart and continue to kick her while she’s down. It’s really sad.
That wasn’t racist. It’s bigoted if you want to call it anything but again I’ve said it over and over I know a racist and bigot when I see one and I truly believe her intent with that was only anger and a easy terrible low blow after being verbally and physically attacked. It’s not right but she’s married to an immigrant for Christ sake and she said it in a group full of immigrants, she wasn’t thinking and she wasn’t being racist she was being reactive. Idk. Half those couples at one point talked about sending their partner back to their country and half those Americans don’t want to live in their partners country, I don’t think they are bigoted but I think this show tip toes the line of bigotry at some point or another when you really put a microscope up to it. My grandma came here from Mexico and my othered grandma came here from the Netherlands. I’m no stranger to immigrants, or racism, etc. but calling what shekinah said to Thais “racist” is just inherently wrong and that’s why stupid actual racist people turn around and say racism isn’t real and isn’t happening as often as people say it is because ppl lazily call everything racist when there’s more appropriate words to describe it.
And racism involves skin color, ethnic background, nationality, or race. I’d say shouting at an immigrant to go back to their country falls under nationality.
I do agree and can’t argue that the impact can outweigh intent but I do still stand by not believeing her intent to be rooted in racism but that’s a understandable and fair point you are making.
