She could certainly use a million dollars, but it's not like she's homeless. She said she was still very poor in her audition tape.

That takes the fucking cake as far as overt bigotry. I'm pretty sure she was referring to her as a migrant farm worker because Susie was a migrant farm worker growing up.

This whole time I thought people were calling them "underdogs" because of their constant losing, but it had nothing to do with that. Corrine, Marcus, Charlie and Jacquie are all fit, attractive, educated white people. Compare them to the hodge podge group of various minorities including a chubby poor person, a virginal geek, a homeless whore with daddy issues and a monstrous outspoken mom and it's like...you HAVE to root for the Fangs. I thought you said Sugar and Crystal were your favorites. Are you just going around saying anybody else who would root for them is a loser just to stir up shit?

I was never categorically rooting for the 5 of them or against Kota, but the fact there were such clearly defined factions seems to have polarized the fan base. It's easy to oversimplify and view it as white collar vs. blue collar, but the Fangs are an eclectic enough group that you can't really apply any stereotype to all of them. Crystal has a degree from a far more reputable school than Corinne, and Sugar is way hotter.

I never said she said it to be nice, but I also don't think it was racist. It's just true. Would it be racist to say that the black woman is a track star or that the asian kid is a video game savant? Because those are stereotypical, but they're also true. SwineForkbeard wrote: I thought you said Sugar and Crystal were your favorites.

I just never understood how the story where Fang, as a group, were these poor misunderstood misfits, and Kota was a bunch of oppressive elitist egotists holding them down, but this thread has made it clear what that was all about. I get it now.

Crystal has a degree from a far more reputable school than Corinne, and Sugar is way hotter. I don't get the Fang is warm-hearted. Matty and Susie, sure? With Crystal, I don't see it. She has been really nasty at times when it doesn't have to be shown. I can't get a good read on Sugar. Part of her probably is a bitch, but I also think there's a very sweet part to her. I think she knows what she is doing out there and is smarter than she is given credit for. It's hard to read Kenny too since he's becoming a jackass in terms of his overconfidence. Does that mean I think all of Kota is great? No. I give Randy credit for realizing what he has said is wrong and for opening up himself to something new (by stating Charlie is his first gay friend). And, yeah, Corinne is a bitch. I think she probably is intelligent, but people don't typically want to be around her enough to realize that. And Charlie and Marcus seem like nice enough guys (moreso Charlie). There are worst things than being a snob. And I totally don't buy the "if you're friends with someone who makes a racist comment, you're racist too" belief system. In all honesty, I'm sure there's good and bad in all of these contestants (some obviously have more bad), but I've certainly had friends that befriended someone I wouldn't give the time of day, but I'm still friends with that first person. I've also been friends with people who don't even realize the stupid things that come out of their mouths. I think a lot of good people can be ignorant. Just hope that maybe they realize it and grow (I think this would fit someone like Randy more than Corinne). And, I honestly don't see what is so hot about Sugar. She is in no way ugly, but I just would not use the word hot to describe her.

You obviously do not get the subtle snark of my initial reply to you. To wit: "Corinne, I'm sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. It's not your fault you're so gap-toothed." To me is like saying: "Susie, I'm sorry I called you a migrant worker. It's not your fault you were born into this world by a couple of border-hopping Beaners." To make this more clear to you: Susie Smith is not a migrant worker, she is a U.S. Citizen who has two jobs -- one of which is to teach English to ESL kids -- and is married into an interracial family and has a bi-racial son. You don't call her a fucking "migrant worker." That wasn't some observant "statement of fact" on Corinne's part, it was bigoted as fucking hell and attacking Susie based on her race and family history. And I was a Hillary-turned-Palin voter, and I hate the use of race cards, so don't pull some "oversensitivity" crap toward me on this score. But I can call true racial bigotry out when I see it, and what Corinne said was incredibly out of line and fucking bigoted as all hell. There is no defense.

"Mexican lady" and "Asian kid" are just ways to describe Susie/Ken to someone who doesn't know them on a first-name basis. I'm sure other people probably said Corinne was the "dark-haired white chick." It's just an easy way to identify strangers to other people. No harm, no foul there.

Sorry, I don't see it that way, your NObama stance notwithstanding. I think she just brought it up to be a bitch, just like she snarked on Sugar's homelessness. It's part of her "beneath me" thing. That's what you do when you talk shit about people. I don't see Fang as "the good people" either, but more than that I'm surprised that kind of attitude is present at all here at Sucks Go genuine kind-heartedness! Triumph over those meanies!

It may be something "you do" when you "talk shit" but Corinne is doing this in a very public setting, and the language is incredibly bigoted. Saying "Sugar is a homeless idiot!" is not the same as saying that a sugar farm is missing a migrant worker about Susie. One is attacking someone based on a realistic situation (Sugar = homeless); the other is attacking someone based only on their ethnic, class, and family background (Susie is a migrant worker, when she isn't). Diff'rent strokes, babe.

No. Goddess Crystal would never tell me to eat Gherkins, so I shall not. I will continue to only eat my rice. I may choose to eat my rice on a ciabatta bun, but ciabatta buns have been approved by Goddess Crystal.
