They have whipped up this frenzy over a few ignorant comments and have continued to air more even after all the compaints logged.
They have the choice not to show such footage.
They are exploiting the situation and whilst I don't like any of the 3 girls involved they are going to be remembered for this and this alone which is a bit unfair.
I'm sure if we're honest we all make passing comments in a day that could be accused of being 'racist' but we don't get demonised!

I really do think they set up these situations hoping for some kind of conflict.
It is cynical manipulation of both the 'guests' and the audience.

I do blame the show for airing the racial segments, but there main concern is about high ratings. I blame the people who are stirring up the racism more than the actual show.
Here in the US, the four witches never would have been able to remain on the air after saying such hateful things.

It's not racism or bullying, just girlie bitchiness. These people who are complaining don't seem to live in the 'real world'. They have an 'idea' of what bullying or racism must be like and over-react.

So you think such things should just be swept under the carpet?
