Grey’s Anatomy — Gay Actor’s Angry
by Jeff Davis
Another interesting celebrity teapot tempest is brewing on the concept of forbidden words proving blacks have limited immunity to Political Correctness. According to the New York Post, “The drama backstage at Grey’s Anatomy is threatening to dwarf the one on-screen. The show’s stars this week are openly fighting over whether Grey’s star (black) Isaiah Washington used a gay slur (faggot) to refer to co-star T.R. Knight earlier this season - and forced him to ‘come out’ in People magazine. The incident was thought to be dead and buried until last Monday night at the Golden Globes when Washington vehemently denied (that he) called Knight a faggot during an on-set argument with another actor, co-star Patrick Dempsey.”
The black actor denies saying it, according to the Post. “‘No, I did not call T.R. a faggot,’ Washington told reporters at a press conference right after the awards show. ‘Never happened, never happened.’…On the show, Washington plays the steely Dr. Preston Burke and Knight plays the bumbling Dr. George O’Malley.” (But of course… We can’t have a strong white male character contrasting with a bumbling, incompetent, Affirmative Action black, now, can we? Where do we think this is, real life?)
The Post rambled on: “Since then, other cast members have openly contradicted Washington and called him insensitive for bringing up the incident again. Knight - appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show” (where else?) “yesterday - made it plain he, too, was upset that Washington was now claiming not to have used the word. ‘He denied that he said it,’ Knight said. ‘I don’t know what to say, really, about that.’” Maybe the Gay actor would like to call Washington a “silly goose” or maybe even a “bitch.”
I LOVE it when these little protected minorities start squabbling amongst each other. Each group thinks it has a greater claim to “victimhood” status. Every now and then one of these “victims” will rail against one of the other groups, sometimes saying a few choice words, which provide countless hours of entertainment for the politically incorrect. The Gay actors seem to be winning this one, so far. I wonder how the blacks would have reacted if the situation had been reversed and actor Knight had called Isaiah Washington the fabled “N-word”? No doubt the Gay boy would have vanished from the face of the earth –at least in terms of his career.
