2. Not really. I don't think ABC needed to apologize for Roseanne's comments, either.


3. Making fun of someone's appearance is not equivalent to making racist comments.


4. They were racist. That's why her comments were more severe.

1. They were racist in nature; if not why do she state she was not talking about Ben Carson when she stated surrounded by racists? Do you think it's because his words and actions were different or do you think maybe, just maybe it had to do with his race?

2. If you think comments about personal appearance made by your employee doesn't require an apology; then we disagree. 

3. Of course it is; when talking solely about personal appearance. 

4. Trump looks like an orangutan, VJ looks like an ape. Only someone focused on race would find one of those 2 comments to be more severe. 

I can only assume that you do not wish to concede that comments have been made by ABC employees and no apology was issued? Because by your standard there is nothing that could be said that could be racist toward Trump.
