Running racism in America thread

Mila Kunis' heritage is Ukrainian, so that dog don't hunt. And great response from Mina Kimes.

 

Has nothing to do with Kunis being Ukrainian.

It's the barest of fucking threads to hang an excuse on but they WERE talking whiskey nips so it's easy to see where his tongue moved faster than the brain.

Doesn't absolve him but the excuse isn't bullshit.

 

You can clearly see him look around to see if anyone got what he said. The excuse is total bullshit. Something pulled out of their ass by an assistant station GM or low-level Audacy puke.

 

Maybe. But there's validity with the fact Kunis hawks whiskey and that's all the dude needs to keep his job ahead of required sensitivity training.

How's that 'chink in the armor' guy doing these days?

Ignorance isn't an excuse.

So I'll take the counterargument here and remind people one of the reasons these mooks are paid very well to run their mouths on the radio is they're expected not to make mistakes exactly like this one.

 

Yours might be more of a tangential argument, and still valid.

Chink in the armor will always be an unresolved argument here.

 

Of all things, he became a priest. In Stamford.

I know this wasn't your intent but where I grew up, this was used as a slur for Asians (mostly we were exposed to the Vietnamese).

 

That must be a very local coinage.
