Big Brother 15 – Julie Chen and The Talk Sound off on Racism and CBS Response

Julie Chen, who hosts Big Brother, is also part of the afternoon chat show, The Talk. Today, Julie and the rest of the panel sounded off on the bigotry in the Big Brother 15 house. CBS addressed the comments fans heard on the live feed in last night’s episode, with an emphasis on Aayrn’s racist and homophobic remarks.

Aaryn’s remarks were singled out, because they impacted the house. Because she was the Head of Household this week, the housemates were discussing how her problematic behavior would affect the decisions she made. CBS isn’t going to reveal hate, just for the sake of it. The revelations have to be placed in context.

Eh. “The people who live in this house are asshats” are the only context we need, I think. I can’t help but think Aaryn is the CBS scapegoat. She deserves consequences, but so do some others in that house.

Julie, who is Chinese American, admitted that she took Aayrn’s anti-asian comments personally, and found them mean spirited. Taking the high road, Julie hopes that once the housemates leave the show and see the consequences of their actions, they’ll have a change of heart.
