If she knew exactly what was being said then no I wouldn't say so because Jayne wasn't saying anything even close to being racially offensive.

That said, if she misheard / misunderstood what was being said then that would be more understandable, but she then continued to be a knob about it even when Jayne tried to talk to her one on one about it and explain.

So all in all, I say no.

Details should never be self censored when relating an incident. Political correctness is backdoor censorship which is exactly what the I am offended brigade try to pull off

Treasure free speech and put political correctness in the trash can where it belongs.

People who are so easily offended are attention seekers that need to grow up.

It was offensive because Natalie was totally excluded from the conversation.

Nope. Jayne didn't say anything to warrant Natalie's attention seeking reaction.

She certainly overreacted but I don't think it's fair to say she was wrong to feel uncomfortable. Nobody knows her background and how raw racial issues may be to her and I think the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding

That said, it was one of the funniest arguments on Big Brother since C5 bought the show so
