I thought it was a shame that Ken went, it was quite exciting wondering what crazy thing he would do or say next.
I am sure in the modern PC world where we do not want to offend anyone that we now consider our words carefully, but Ken is in his 70's. When my grandparents were alive, they would use much more offensive words all the time. They are a different era and as such we should make allowances in my opinion.
Negro was indeed once considered a polite term, replacing coloured, which in turn replaced Black. Martin Luther King used the word Negro many times within his "I have a dream" speech. I think it was MalcolmX that spun it back towards black and african american? You can perhaps understand why some of the older generation would get confused.
My first job after college was in the civil service, this was in the early 90's. In my induction training this topic was strangely covered. Clearly something the government wanted all civil servants to understand and get right. So, the posh lady teaching us said, the correct term is "coloured". I questioned this as I was pretty confident that black is right. We had a big argument, but she wouldn't back down, even saying Black is offensive.

Im glad Cami became queen. I think she will make the others sweat a little lol
If it had of been Perez, well i may have had to turn it off as he would be unbearable.
The whole of last nights episode was Perez going and b
hing about Katie to everyone. He obvioulsy feels threatened by her in some way.
Loved the older American women putting him in his place though. Listened to what he had to say and then asked him what it was based on. Turned out it was just a look in her eyes! WTF
Hes a bully whos used to getting his own way. Just wished there was an Alpha male in there to slap him down, as i think he could break.
At this rate though it will be the older American women who beats him. I think shes great so far

I didnt have Cami down as bright, regardless of her Degree.
But what was her logic behind crowning Perez as King!
Surely she knew that he would be getting immunity, as well as having the opportunity to make everyone suffer.
That drama queen with a crown on his head was asking for trouble. You could see everyones eyes when she announced it.
The fact Cami then spent the rest of the evening trying to exert her dominance of Perez i felt was her trying to make up for the mistake. And was why she reacted to his advice to act like a lesbian.
Hes a D*ck, but her over reaction was more than that comment.
Calumn gradually going up in my estimations. Hasnt conformed to the stereotype i had him down as. Sees pretty chilled out.
Old american women still my fav
Katie has settled a bit in the house now, so dont mind her
Overall its not a happy house though. I imagine theirs a lot of tension in there
