I was watching an old episode of America's Next Top Model the other day with my sister.

It was the last show in the series I think and one of the contestants made a comment - "as long as a black girl wins this show, I'm happy" - and nobody batted an eyelid. I must point out that this girl was also black.

It got me thinking, if that was a white girl who said - "As long as a white girl wins this show, I'm happy" all hell would break lose, she would be called racist and probably kicked off the show.

Is it okay for some people to make these sort of commets, and if so why?
