I am wondering if the station owner/manager is white or black.
I am wondering if sometimes we are all over sensitive.

I believe we are all becoming to sensitive.
It is up to each and everyone of us to decide how badly we are going to let anything affect us.
We have become so soft and over sensitive that nobody is allowed an opinion. Where did we loose sight of the word opinion? My opinion is what is on my mind, it does not automatically make me a killer, rapist, abuser, terrorist or anything else, it just means I have an opinion.
I am a middle aged white Canadian female. I have opinions. I was born and raised in redneck Alberta Canada. I have opinions. I am frustrated by my government. I have opinions. I am hit hard by this crap economy right now. I have opinions. I may even be a bit prejudiced at times. I have opinions. Is anyone feeling threatened by me yet?
If you are you are being way to sensitive because I haven't even voiced my opinions yet.
That's how bad I see we have become.

I think she was being stupid, not racist. Her comments were unnecessary & dumb & opinionated, not news. Stick to the facts, ma'am.

I would ask whether there was any evidence in this case or statistical evidence in previous cases to support her view.
If not then I would say that it's racist.

I don't care. Probably overpaid anyway. Show Biz (cos she is not a journalist) is the toughest biz around.

I think its a case of being over sensitive , she gave her opinion and I don't think what she said was worth being fired; I think she will win her case. Her work record there was stellar.

Watching the last leg a few months ago ...... you still have time to buy a brick for the wall to be built between America and Canada..... apparently theres enough bricks to go all the way around . So soon you wont have to be offended by pesky Canadians anymore.
Note....(wall was to be built between america and can
Ada to keep out the american refugees fleeing after Trump becomes president)

I'd help build that wall if they'll let me stay when it's done.
