Last night while watching The Amazing Race there was a section where they were interviewing a team of a brother and sister, Azaria & Hendekea. The sister, Hendekea, was talking about her brother acting like she was so slow. Then said something like he must think I’m a “R—-d” but CBS bleeped it out. This is the first time I have ever seen anyone treat that word for what it is; offensive and insulting to people. We rewound the segment to make sure that is what they did, and all in the room agreed, they bleeped out the “r” word.

I encourage everyone who feels this is an offensive and degrading to let CBS know they appreciate their efforts. You can find their contact page at : http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.shtml

Kudos to CBS! We have already sent them a note thanking them.
