Is what Jerry said okay? No. But he's 70+, so there is a generational gap, and he fought in the Korean war where he was presumably shot at by Asians, so it's slightly more understandable.

Also "The blond with the big boobs" is not on the same level as "colored girl", especially since he demonstrated very shortly after words that he knew her name, so there was no need to refer to her descriptively.

Most caring people try really hard, and use whatever terms are acceptable to whomever they are talking about, but it really does get confusing.
For instance some people prefer Native American, others use Indian, others use only tribal names. I hope we can get to the point where people don't get insulted when no disrespect is intended.
I am giving Steven the benefit of the doubt here. I kind of like him.

Kale...I'm looking for YouTubes of Jerry's remarks because I didn't see them, so I can't make a judgement on them at this point.
However, Jerry is a 75 year old man who fought in the Korean war, and would have some ingrain prejudices from that.
Steven is a young adult who is also a minority and should have some small understanding that using a derogatory word like that won't fly. Much in the same way that if someone had called him the usual bad word for his minority we would all be flying off about that.

I read on Jokers that Steven doesn't talk to his parents or sisters and they didn't sign a release.

That is correct, Char. I posted a YouTube in which Steven says he can't talk about his parents.

Catfat - The thing is, that since he knew her name, and he was upset with her at the time, it's not out of the realm of possibility that disrespect WAS intended.

That is sad. I wonder if it because his family doesn't accept his lifestyle. I haven't been over to the youtube thread yet, I will check it out, thanks Bee.

Jessie is now talking to Ollie and April. Ollie, April, Libra and Jessie are all committed to getting Brian out.

I think it's rather funny that because Steven's gay he should be far removed from his southern upbringing and ignorance.

Not that I'm making excuses but he is a Bull Rider and you have to be short on brain cells to do that.

But that being said, I'm a southerner too and would not have used a reference like that.

LOL! April thinks there were only two female winners in BB and that the first female winner was in BB2.

Well I don't give Jerry a pass and it didn't look like Angie was all to pleased either.

Koren war or not-telling ethnic jokes is passe and unexceptionable and for me much more insulting than what Steven said.

And honestly I think Libra would be MUCH more insulted by Dan's Liberal remarks than what Steven said. (you know the "We wouldn't have a flag to wave if the liberals were in power during this time of war")

Can I just say "piss up a rope" is a great phrase? Jessie just cracked me up with that.

I don't blame Angie for being upset, and I don't give Jerry a pass. I just said that I understand why he does it, moreso than I understand why Steven did it.

Nick - Just FYI, being from the south does not predispose one to ignorance.

LOL! Jerry's a cussing and calling everybody out on alliances! hahahaha

ETA - And when it comes to the PC and un-PC talk. I'm glad about it. I'd rather watch people who are real than people walking around on eggshells afraid to offend.

Jerry: 25% of the people in here could kick the sh*t out of a gorilla.

LOL

HL...I agree. I am really liking these people, faults and all. Good start, so far. Quite interesting.
And I absolutely love that they all seem to be able to communicate without every other word being the F word.
