If you were sitting in a conference room full of people of all different races and you said you people, refering to everyone in the room, would that be racist? - HealthyScratch6
He got fired cause he wouldnt apologized for saying something foolish.
He made his bed, he now lays in it.
A big fan of his when i was younger.
Too bad he went out like this.

Maybe Cherry's replacement will be someone of colour, under the age of 35 and that identifies as non-gender? - PatC80

Cherry is a real live Archie Bunker. Archie would use the same phrase when arguing with George Jefferson and George would rightfully flip out.
The only difference was that Archie would say “youse” people. |

I'm understand how he meant it and I think it's clear. I'm just arguing I think it's nationalist sentiment instead of a racist one. I'm against PC cancel culture where everything is considered racist. - HealthyScratch6
I hear ya about the pc thing. Agreed, we're getting too pc.
But it was clear he was referencing immigrants....its Canada, on national tv. You cant do that. |

he 100% meant it that way. it wasn't just "you people" it was "you people come here". if he had been ripping on all Canadians not wearing a poppy, no issue there. i think it's a stupid thing to say but not really that controversial. singling out immigrants and giving a pass to white native-born Canadians like me is what made this such a poopty thing for him to do. - DoubleDown
Yup.

Nothing wrong with xenophobia - kaptaan
based on the general level of xenophobia of canadians towards americans, i would have to at least agree that it is at least tolerated in canadian society. |

The rampant white knighting over this incident has been almost as absurd as Don Cherry's xenophobia. |

DC crossed the line numerous time over the years, there is a reason why he was on a 7sec delay, he received multiple warnings from CBC to tone it down with the xenophobic/racist comments. SN is a private company, they gave him a chance to clarify but he refused, the decision was pretty easy for them at that point. |

That's a lot of questions but I'll answer as best as I can. First of all, Kudos to you for even knowing that there IS a difference!!
Miss USA is mostly about looks. There are three phases of competition all weighted equally - evening gown, swimsuit and interview.
Miss America is more about the total package. There are five phases of competition - Talent at 35%, Interview at 25%, Evening Gown at 20%, Swimsuit at 15% and On Stage Question at 5%.
There are three things that really make the Miss America system different...there is a talent portion, the interview is much more intense and, most importantly, it provides millions of dollars in scholarships not only to the winners, but runner ups, preliminary winners, etc. every year.
Neither system is necessarily "better" than the other. They are just different. There are girls that are successful only in one system, but there are many that crossover and are successful in both.
Hope this explains it - Symba007
I applaud your ability to follow the Miller / Giuliani playbook for dealing with tough questions...
and the beauty pageant spin was a nice distraction ...
I didn't really expect an answer

Don’s weekly segment was 5 minutes of air time. They could fill that with out of town highlights. I don’t think he’s going to be missed all that much. |
