My opinion:

Only a middle class person would be ignorant enough to make this mistake. I know a few m/c girls who try and be 'urban' by calling each other "n*gga" which I find cringeworthy.

If she's called one of the white girls "n*gga" it would have gone unnoticed.

If it wasn't for this years CBB it would have only been a warning.

If it had been homophobic language used rather than racist no-one would have batted an eyelid.

It is possible to use racist language without being racist. Same as with homophobia.

Emily has screwed up her chances big time but IMO she is guilty of ignorance rather than biggotry so I don't think she deserves the hatred she will get.

Seeing as I'm a straight white bloke I'm hardly an authority on this so if I'm talking rubbish feel free to tell me.
