[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm confused why anyone is shocked/cares that someone from Georgia went to a Deb/Plantation ball. It's what those people do- why pretend to be shocked? [/quote]

People are outraged,not shocked.[/quote]

Why give someone who does that a spot on a show that should know how to vet people? Plenty of ladies want to be on the show who wouldn’t do the things she has done. [/quote]

This is over some “offensive” likes on Instagram and a picture of her at a sorority event that yes, had an insensitive theme but dozens and dozens of them go on every year in the south. What exactly has she done, other than be ignorant, for which she apologized? I’m trying to understand the outrage, but making her out to be a terrible racist person isn’t the right answer IMO. I feel like most people, if scrutinized in the way these contestants are, have something in their past that is shameful.

Maybe you are a perfect person. I don’t know. All I know is that I’m glad every little stupid thing I did in college isn’t publicly on the internet. I’m very grateful to be just 10 years older than her for that reason. [/quote]

I’m more annoyed with the show than her. They were responsible for vetting ladies to go on the the show with the first black bachelor. They should have been prepared for something like this. I think she is doing a better job of apologizing and learning than the show, especially Chris.

I’m not perfect, but I knew that those types of parties were offensive and wrong in the 90s when I went to college in the south. She’s not a terrible person, but she made mistakes that should have disqualified her from being on the show. The show got what it wanted- controversy and publicity as interest in the show was waning.

+1. Rachel L. said it best when she said, and I'm paraphrasing, OK, they went to this party to play dress up to an era. What part would I play? What would I wear? If you just take a moment to consider that, these parties are just awful and should never be excused. Ever.[/quote]
