Racist Remark by Philips AirFryer Guest
I tuned into Marlo’s 1pm (PST) show “Kitchen Essentials” today (7/31/16) just in time to catch a racist remark made by her guest. The guest, ( I don’t recall her name) while promoting the Philips AirFryer with Rapid Air Technology and Recipe Booklet, stated to Marlo, “I know you like fried chicken.” The guest was a White woman.
This lady is a guest on Marlo’s show. Was it (a feeling of) entitlement or superiority that made her so comfortable she felt should make such a presumptious, discriminatory remark?
Marlo was gracious and never dignified the comment. She is a professional, and recovered very fast however there was a moment when you could see in her face that she was affected.
There is a 7-second delay. Why do you think HSN didn’t delete the comment?

The comment wasn’t muted because there is nothing racist about saying “I know you like fried chicken.” Marlo likes fried chicken.
-
I don’t know anyone that does not like fried chicken! In no way do I find that a discriminatory comment and more than do I like peanut butter. I agree – the PC public needs to take a great big deep breathe.

Come on…give it a rest. We do not need the PC police here. Almost everyboy in this country likes fried chicken. It’s stuff like this that causes the problems in the first place. I hate discrimination….This does not qualify. :manfrustrated:
-
It was an unnecessary remark.
I consider it racist.

I watched and didn’t consider it at all having anything to do with race. I happen to like fried chicken and I’m sure Marlo does, too. They were selling a kitchen product and demonstrating that it can be used for air frying chicken. Duhhh. To make it into a racist comment is just typical of today’s PC world. People seem to have too much idle time on their hands and have nothing better to do than to nitpick.

Marlo may have known this guest from previous visits and talked to her on a personal level of what she likes to eat. Harmless really. Made into something racist and personal. Since it was , here is my take on things. I am a mature white woman in my sixites now. When I was born I knew noting of slavery and did not until I went into fouth grade and History begin in which I did not comprehend well until high school. I did not agree with slavery and wondered how it all begin, then I begin in my forties to watch old movies where I saw so many talanted people of color in them, so they were allowed to be actors, singers, dancers. I think at times, I had noting to do with how people of color were treated and still today we keep hearing how they are being mistreated, slurred, slammed, and not allowed??? To do what?

Everything is racist today because people make it that way..

rewatch the presentation online, if it’s available, then you will have a better idea of what happened. :heart:

I think they didn’t delete the comment because she knows Marlo and the fact that Marlo likes fried chicken.
