Halle Berry & Mom
OMG! I hate that us bi-, tri- (etc.) racial people have to worry about people who can't take a light hearted racial joke. Like myself, Halle identifies with both her Black and White heritges. When she made an appearance last night on NBC's the Jay Leno show she was showing the crowd some fun-house type pictures of herself. When she got to the one where her nose was large she said, something to the effect that she looks like her Jewish cousin in it. The crowd stood silent and Jay Leno was like 'I'm glad you said that, not me.'
Clearly the girl is comfortable enough with her Jewish friends and family that she has no problem saying something like that. And, I think the crowd failed to realize that she said her COUSIN, the chick is just making fun of her family...not the race. Either way, girl felt terrible and offered to apologize to the woman that tipped the paper. She even asked Leno to cut the scene. Sweety, tell them to shove it!
Here's what PAGE SIX had to say:
"What happened was I was backstage before the show and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said [of the big-nose picture], 'That could be your Jewish cousin!' And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn't mean to offend anybody. I didn't. I didn't mean any harm."
