It's not about that. How can you defend her when the evidence is right in front of you.
Because the evidence doesn't point to racism?
Hear hear!
What? I dont understand your point. She used a racist term. Why does she have to cause serious offence before you feel it matters?
Racist terms do not make you racist, using them to cause offence does. She didn't use the word in question to cause offence, ergo, not racist.
Well, if that's the case, Charley should be in trouble too. According to the transcript, Charley did use the words 'I'm a ******'. Why is that okay?
In short, its not, in my opinion. But C4 know that they will get 0 complaints about a black woman (afro-caribbean if we're being PC) using the word.

In my opinion, that's an insult to Charley (on C4's part, not yours).
