Okay, this appears to be a serious controversy unfolding[1] before us, so let’s take a quick look at the reason so many screeching liberals want Good Morning America’s Amy Robach fired from her job.
Robach is being accused of using a “racial slur” on live television.

From The Daily Mail:
A Good Morning America anchor has been forced to apologize after using the term ‘colored people’ during a live broadcast.
Amy Robach was discussing the lack of diversity in Hollywood when she made the racial slur on Monday’s show.
The co-anchor, who was substituting for Robin Roberts, noted recent criticism for casting white actors ‘in what one might assume should be a role reserved for colored people.’
Robach called the incident ‘a mistake’ and ‘not at all a reflection of how I feel or speak in my everyday life.’
The words used to describe African-Americans have evolved over time to from words like Negro, colored, Afro-American to the current black, African-American and people of color, said Deborah E. McDowell, director of the University of Virginia’s Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies.
‘We no longer use the term colored people, although once upon a time that was a term in use,’ McDowell said.
Okay, so is this really worth all of the outcry? I just can’t imagine that anyone outside of SJWs really care enough to actually say something about this.
