I saw the epsiode and I don't think she should have been kicked off of the show. Whereas we my not have swung on him, others may have. It really depends on your experience and the amount of racism that you have experienced in life. I do think that MTV down played the fact that he used a racial slur and they did not address the issue. I also think the the other black people on the show did not support her. MTV's Real World/Road Rules has always shown blacks in a negative light. They put blacks on there that they know are going to be high strung. I don't know if anyone saw other episodes but Christian was also saying previously that they were talking Jive. I don't think the white castmates could relate to the way that she felt, because they will never know how it feels to be black. Although Julie did try to stick up for her.
