ignorance at it's finest
I already disliked 'Dr. Phil', but this is just over the top:
http://www.drphil.com/shows/show/667/According to the story, 'Amanda' (the young, rebellious daughter) has run off with her boyfriend (hmm, big surprise for a teenage girl, eh?) and his "band of gypsies". To further the idiocy, we have this quote,"
Amanda's boyfriend and his family are gypsies. They live in a compound-type setting. They're called asphalt gypsies because they travel hot topping driveways and stuff, basically getting as much cash out of people as they can."
Asphalt gypsies??!?? {*falls off chair*} Can't say I've ever heard of that Romani nation before. I'm glad to see that, with all that's going on in the world today, Dr. Phil could find the time to bash some Gypsies.. though, since we don't actually 'exist' to most people, I'm sure grateful for his taking the time to educate the masses. {*clutches hair*}
I'd love to see a show where parents are furious that their daughter's run off with "a bunch of
niggers". That would never fly, throwing the "N" word around on national television, but it's perfectly ok to slander Gypsies (we're a race, by the way, Dr. Phil, so the 'g' should be capitalized,) because White people, Asian people, Hispanic people and African-American people never steal, it's just us 'Gyppos'.
When are people going to realize that crime, thievery, and dishonesty are
human traits, not the traits of any particular race of people??
