Double Standard

Here's a hypothetical: if while on the set of their hit television series Grey's Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey, with his hands around the throat of a co-star, had said in reference to Isaiah Washington “I'm not your little n***** like Isaiah,” would there be an uproar in the mainstream media? But the reality was Washington put his hands around Dempsey's throat and saying, “I'm not your little faggot like ...” which referred to the costar, T. R. Knight whom later came out to People Magazine. Washington later apologize but I'm sure it'll not be forgiven. Your true self - bigotry - came out when you're angry or drunk, case in point - Mel Gibson.

Updated: Isaiah scheduled to appear on Ellen DeGeneres Show but cancelled last minutes due to the "schedule conflict", yeah right...
