I think the whole thing - from Aaron's reaction, BB's warning and even the public reaction to it all is OTT.

I can't help but feel that BB was doing nothing more than trying to simply avoid racism accusations from being used - and was doing nothing more than merely pointing out to Jay that his innocent enough comment, (which let's be honest here, it was) - simply could be miscontrued.

Was BB wrong? No I don't think so. They've pointed it out - they didn't say Jay had been out of order, didn't accuse the guy of anything. All they did was say, 'Look, be smart and just be careful ... you know how these things can be blown out of all proportion'. Which I think was correct.

Aaron had a whole different set of reasons for his reaction - and although I can understand his upset - I also feel he was OTT. He could have explained to Jay why he personally found it upsetting - (re the wheelchair and his wife) - and I'm sure that would have smoothed a lot over. In Jay's defence, I doubt he was even aware of Aaron's wife's situ.

Again, Jay's comment wasn't a personal one: it was a quote from a movie, was meant in fun (and meant to actually be one in which 'boosted' black males!), rather than be offensive.
