Random Thoughts – December 11th


Can Gay People Be Racist?

rThis next random thought is one of those times where I think that if I wasn’t the boss I wouldn’t be able to write this because I may get fired or in trouble.  But here is my question. Can you be a gay racist? Up until a few days ago I would have said no. But like always the Real World shows that anything is possible. 

In case you missed it, in the last Real World episode, Davis, who is openly gay, called his roommates the N word. Granted he was piss drunk but I’m one of those guys who believe that if you have the capacity to call somebody that, regardless of whether you’re drunk or not, then you are racist. The thing that really shocked me about the incident was the fact that Davis is gay. I didn’t even know it was possible for a gay person to be racist. I feel like gays would be the most open minded people on the planet.  I mean, if you’re part of a group that lots of people hate to begin with, I’d think you wouldn’t go around throwing racial slurs in people’s faces. But I guess I was wrong.  

As a side note, Davis is a wet dream for a Real World casting director. He is an alcoholic gay male from the South whose parents hate him and apparently he is also racist. You know the casting director was giggling to himself when he decided to drop him in a house with two black guys in Colorado. Gotta love the Real World.
