Rancid Rancic.

Bosom friends!

Have you all seen what happened to poor Giuliana Rancic?

Rancic apology video.

 The E! Entertainment host made a very unfortunate comment during the episode of Fashion Police just after the Oscars night.

While they were commenting the red carpet outfits Giuliana made a faux pas when she said this about Zendaya Coleman:

"She has just such a tiny frame that this hair, to me, overwhelms her. I feel like she smells like patchouli oil. Or weed! Yeah, maybe weed?" 

Zendaya was sporting long dreadlocks on the red carpet and Rancic comment made lots of people connect her joke to racism and stereotypes.

Mighty Lord have mercy.

Social media know-it-all frantically started typing all their disdain over such horrible comment.

Zendaya herself took it to Instagram and wrote:

“There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful, someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect. To say that an 18-year-old young woman with locs must smell of patchouli oil or ‘weed’ is not only a large stereotype but outrageously offensive. I don’t usually feel the need to respond to negative things, but certain remarks cannot go unchecked.” The “K.C. Undercover” star went on to name successful African Americans such as Ava DuVernay and Terry McMillan, “none of which smell of marijuana.” Zendaya concluded her post writing, “I suggest some people should listen to India Arie’s ‘I Am Not My Hair’ and contemplate a little before opening your mouth so quickly to judge.”

In all honesty I don't see where she got such ignorance and racism from the Fashion Police comment over her hair.
Many other comedians tell jokes that are far more NOT politically correct. Actually a very high percentage of comedians jokes are flat out racist.

We must consider the source and the contest.

That comment didn't come out of Hillary Clinton while on a presidential campaign.
It came out of a show-biz gossip network host's mouth during the Fashion frigging Police program.

Indeed racism and stereotypes are wrong and should not be taken lightly but I would expect much more indignation form somebody who actually fought for African American civil rights and not from a starlet who's enjoying a pretty much smooth ride.

Giuliana Rancic posted a video apologizing for whatever pain she inflicted to Zeldana and any other she may have upset with her comment. Seriously?
Co-host Kelly Osbourn even twitted:

A joke, is a joke, is a joke.

As long as we give the right amount of relevance to action and words we should be fine...or fined?!

Ciao for now.
