Danny Devito thanks Rosie for taking the heat off of him
Posted by admin in News in Short, Celebrities
Danny Devito issued a statement today publicly thanking Rosie O’Donnell for removing public attention from him saying,
“It takes great courage to offend over 1 billion people in order to help protect the public image of one of your guests. Her verbal malfunction totally detracts fom my negative press generated by her show. The fact is that it’s news all over the world. That you know, you can imagine in China it’s like: ‘Ching chong … ching chong. Rosie O’Donnell, ching chong, chong, chong, chong. dumbass. ‘The View.’ Ching chong,”
Danny went on to say that he had learned several dialects of Chinese from Rosie personally and thanked her for that as well.
Give Rosie a break!! Opinionated YES! But nobody has a more compassionate heart towards human kind than her. Americans, in general, can ignorantly but innocently make comments about other cultures that in no way are meant to be offensive towards the people of that race. We live in a country where it has been way too easy to be raised with side blinders on. We have been so much into our own little world of not caring to educate ourselves on other cultures other than our own, that sounds more like a cute reference towards China than any kind of racial slur. Just like the comment in an Italian mob voice might be a poke at Italian American mob cuture but does not offend Italians as a race in general…or does it? This is a good example of an innocent comment that could go terribly wrong if blown out of proportion. With all due respect to Asian Americans, I do not think there are too many Americans who don’t know that the word is grossly obscene and offensive to the Black race and that it is beyond taboo in American culture, but for any of us to assume that saying ching chong or chung would affect a Chinese American in the same way, in my opinion is a bit too extreme and critial. C’mon, you cant believe that Rosie has any underlying hate for Asian Americans. In a country where we accept BORAT as acceptable humor, isn’t attacking rosie over a little ching chong a bit of bigotry?
Dude, she was in the Flintstones movie. It’s lucky she hasn’t been stoned to death already.
