Isaiah Washington tries to save his you-know-what

To think that Isaiah Washington , may lose his job over using the "f" word is ludicrious. If I had a dime for every time I heard a woman referred to as a "whore, slut, bitch, tramp, etc etc" I would be a milliomaire.No one ever apologizes for those comments and I, being a woman, hate hearing a woman being referred to as "SLUT" We all have to watch what we say and we all say what we shouldn't at some time or other and if I. Washington was an actor, he would not be hauled up on the carpet for his remarks, but he is no differnet than the rest of us and maybe we should all go to rehab or whatever. We are what we are and being human, we make mistakes.

2. Aren't you tired of beating this dead horse into the ground?

AMEN!!

Grey's Anatomy happens to actually be a very diverse show. There are African-Americans, Caucasians, Asians, and Hispanics. People depicted in high positions are both black and white, male and female. (Please don't bring up the chief. Yes, the chief is male. But, I'm sure if there could've been 2 chief's, they would've made the second one female.) The point is, this is a very diverse show and should be applauded for being so. It's a shame that Isaiah's comment may have shown that the appropriate response to this diversity is "so what? nothing's changed."

as i have said before, his issues are deeper than bigotry, and the "faggot" comment he made would have been forgiven if not for his overall attitude.

it's common for minorities to suffer from an inferiority complex, which makes them act out against other minorities or even their own kind.

blacks using the N-word whilst referring to each other, is an example of this.

If I were him, I'd have the balls to stand by what I said. Public opinion be damned. He should have admitted he said it and dropped the subject right there.

Besides, we all know the only reason he's sorry is because of the supposed chance he may lose his job over it. What good is an empty apology?

And remember that you can't scream FIRE in a crowd. There are some things that shopuldn't be said, it's why I keep calling hima niger. if saying faggot is ok than calling someone a niger should be too.

Okay, another Mel Gibson/Michael Richards bigot - Isaiah was an NOTHING actor playing bit parts before Grey's Anatomy. Anyone that is a bigot/racist is mentally ill, so he has the right idea by seeing a shrink!

I dont know what the big deal is. Characters say bitch and ass and all kinds of slurs all over tv. "Faggot" is not that horrific of a slur. I dont get why this instance is important at all. He's an actor, not a politian. The majority of what this guy will ever utter is scripted. This is utterly unimportant.

What a joke this whole thing is. Political correctness run amock.

It reminds me of the great Rescue Me episode where the entire firehouse is forced to go to sensitivity training because one of the fireman called a female firefighter a tw*t.

It pretty much speaks for itself.

He's seeing a shrink. NOT GOING TO REHAB. get it right. Not liking one gay guy doesn't make you a homophobe. If that was the case everyone in the world would be full of either homophobic, racist,or narcissistic people wo think just because they haven't been caught saying a derogatory term they're better than IW.
