Aeryn
Now there's a double take I didn't expect.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My apologies! The horrible one is actually Aaryn.

a coincidence that it's an anagram of "aryan"?

I can see a toddler being pretty horrible to live with on a reality show, but probably not racist. :)

No toddler could be worse than some of the adults I've seen.

Toddlers do tend to categorize based on sample sizes of 1, and are not super-clear on causality or tact, and so it's not unheard of for a three year-old to state emphatically that "people with brown skin _____" (like apples, do not like peanut butter, play the piano, are allergic to milk, whatever) but I'm not sure that actually counts as racism unless you don't outgrow it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
BB is dealing with racism! Mostly by Aeryn, but I'm glad they are putting some of this shit on the air.
I don't know. It kind of felt to me like CBS chose the laziest most minimal way possible to respond to all the criticism they justifiably were getting. They laid it all on Aaryn, without making it clear it was much broader than that.
I did enjoy the scary clown comparisons though.

Absolutely -- it was the least they could do. But I literally thought they might not address it at all. But I guess if everyone hates Aaryn now, they needed to explain that somehow, and her being a garbage person was it.
I didn't realize it was Beardy saying that maybe Hitler had some good ideas.
