My point is, she's been in the public eye for at least a little white now. You'd think someone in her position would know they might want to be careful considering the minefeld they're already in. Instead, she's got a reputation for saying somewhat insensitive things. A lot. A ''[[NotHelipingYourCase lot.]]'' A '''[[DiggingYourselfDeeper looooooot]]'''."''

->''"Either [[StevenSeagal Seagal]] is the biggest fraud on the planet or he genuinely happens to transcend race and transforms into new ethnicities over time, kind of like a fucked up [[Series/DoctorWho Dr Who]]. Shockingly, it’s actually not the latter. In the past Seagal has enjoyed pretending to be Italian and Japanese respectively, but his current adopted cultural persona is that of the black man... In the majority of Seagal’s direct to DVD era filmography, Seagal has portrayed this insane ‘black man’ version of himself, most hilariously of all in the abominable ''Today You Die'', an [[{{Narm}} unintentional comedy classic]] where Seagal mumbles out ‘thug talk’ with all the street credibility of BillOReilly. Seagal even ensured that one of the black characters remarked that he '[[InformedAbility walks like a black man and breathes like a killer.]]' Absolute madness."''
