“News” earlier this week, where Rancic simply reported the incident and then revealed that she wouldn’t be seizing the opportunity for just deserts. She added that sometimes people make mistakes on live television while trying to make a point but it does not make Osbourne a racist.

“There’s a fine line between racism and dumb”, Bell said during an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon after grimacing through tape of Osbourne implying that Latino immigrants are the only people working low-wage jobs.
In a discussion about controversial Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s poll numbers among the demographic, Kelly asked: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet Donald Trump?” In her conversation with The View co-host Rosie Perez, Osbourne implied that Trump should not kick out Latinos out of the United States because nobody would be left to clean toilets, according to Detroit Free Press. Kelly’s explanation? Regardless of how you try to spin it, which Kelly and her pals on The View have tried to do, Kelly was blatantly racist and dismissed Latinos as “toilet cleaners”.
After attracting negative comments online, Osbourne took to Twitter to express her regret over what she said. Two days after winning, the Post admitted the story had been fabricated and she resigned.
“I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions”. The former “Fashion Police” host shut down the recent accusations.
Rosie Perez was the first to jump on her during the live broadcast, but she too has apologized since, even saying that she should have known better than to jump to such an very bad conclusion about a friend. “In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT”, the report quotes Osbourne’s Facebook statement. So, apparently Zendaya’s hair is off limits, but it is totally acceptable to say that Latin Americans are just “toilet cleaners”.

Kelly told a truth about all the cheap labor that has enriched Donald Trump and other filthy rich Americans who pretend they are not exploiting it. Latinos who deny or want to hide this reality are uppity snobs. Cheap labor is the backbone of the global economy, and the rich couldn’t get richer without it.
