I saw the ep again on Youtube and I totally agree. I think that Hanna has a horrible habit of putting her foot in her mouth. She wasn't discriminating against anyone, but she didn't know how else to describe herself other than using phrases that were totally inappropriate. I felt almost bad for her as she just dug the hole deeper (and the other girls pulling the race card on her didn't help). "Are you prejudiced/racist?" What kind of answer did they expect to a question like that? "Um, of course I am, didn't you know?" 
However, I did catch the part just afterward when Hannah said "This is like being gang raped" and that was NOT okay with me.  She said it very quickly, but I can't believe she actually compared a snipe attack of some overly hype girls to something that extreme. I think she just needs to understand that certain comparisons and metaphors are not okay to use because of how others will perceive them, no matter how hard you are trying to get your point across. She won't learn that until she gets her butt kicked in only a way that life can. |
I think you might have missed the point of her "gang rape" remark. She was essentially fed to the wolves. All the girls said was "lets all talk" and then they basically attacked Hannah by calling her racist. She had no clue what she was walking into. That being said, she compared it to being raped. The reality is, women who are raped (or gang raped) don't walk into the situation knowing that is going to happen. That's where her comparision came from. If she had known that they were going to attack her, she most likely wouldn't have walked into the situation, the same as a possible rape victim. Most people aren't "knowingly" going to put themselves in harms way.
That being said I felt Hannah handled the attack with a great amount of dignity. She was calm, she didn't cry in front of them. She said that she wasn't a racist, apologized that they felt she was and said that she was going to bed and walked away. I thought she showed a tremendous amount of class, especially since Joslyn and Brittney obviously have no class (impo).
