Mark-Paul Gosselaar apologizes for “controversial” Saved By the Bell episode

Giver us time. We're burning stuff as fast as we can.

Not a good sign when I already have r1 blocked

Are people going to have to continually apologize for stuff like this? Of course it wouldn’t get made today, but it did back then. Can’t change that.

Until all white people are the slaves, there will be no end to this.

These apologies are getting old. Get over it.

Is Cher white though?

Cher from the same place the Kardashians are from. I forget what they are called. It's north of Syria and west of Turkey.

Armenia r8

Armenian? Then she’s “Middle Eastern” or “Asian”

^ More Italian/Turkey/Greece

When Cher passes away, all gays are gonna do the Diana death scream in unison. 😱

Come on you guys, the big story here is how this twink aged

Well, r13, don’t we all? He’s not 15 anymore. Did you think he would be a teen forever?

But he's aged in a good way.

^ Yes, forever young through the magic of reruns

@ r15, Meh

I'm guessing he'll apologize soon for that episode where Zack date a girl in a wheelchair and acted like she was a moron.

Did you think he was gonna look like Zach Morris forever with that block cellphone lol?! We all will age and die!

I'm just saying that Mario Lopez still looks like Mario Lopez, that's all

Not sure he should have apologized, but "it would never get made today, and for good reason" is an excellent response and pretty much the only thing that needs to be said.

r8 his mother is half indonesian.

still the outrage mob the most upset over this aren't the majority of indigenous people -- which incidentally get attacked by the outrage mob too for both being in regalia and not looking stereotypical enough, and sometimes because they aren't dressed to the nines in full regalia 24/7. Oh and never mind the tantrums caused when you let them know that most 'tribal' nations don't recognize 2-spirit or at least isn't a part of every bloody tribe.. as it's been turned into a painting with all the colours of the wind, mystical, ancient identity... or the outrage against wattle and daub.

I'm not sure why he should apologize for decisions made by writers/producers/directors. He's an actor playing a part that by today's standards is not very PC, but no one thought it terrible at the time

I loathe the outrage mob. A bunch of fatsos in their mothers' basement with too much time on their hands.

^ and where do you live, the attic?

r23 it would be more fun pointing out the poorly written, ahistorical, stereotypical roles played by native americans in native american productions that were allegedly 'heavy' dramas and not satire... or maybe the amount of roles that canadians buffy sainte marie and graham greene coopted and appropriated in the one native fits all category

r7 fo' sure

I have to laugh at some of this cultural appropriation bs. First Nations in Canada bitch about it all the time, but then you see their young people appropriate hip hop culture.

It's almost like [italic]ex post facto[/italic] law. Which is why our Founding Fathers made it unconstitutional.

Here’s the podcast episode discussing “Running Zack.” There’s some virtual signaling in my opinion, but I *did* learn a few things about Native American culture.

ZACK MORRIS IS TRASH!

Is he going to apologize for how shitty that show was overall?

Is he going to apologize for the steroid use in the later seasons?

Outraged by this blatant appropriation by Smirnoff #holdingthemaccountable

R35 I forgot the link because of white men

White men have a lot to apologize for it seems

Has Jane Finda apologized for when she was with Ted Turner and they used to do the tomahawk chop together at baseball games?

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! WE DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY AND YOU'RE HEREBY CANCELLED!

Cher is Armenian!?!?!?!?!

And on this, well, no redskin has come out to actually say he is offended by it. That this idiot initiated the virtue signaling bs is enough reason to cancel him.

East of the Sun and West of the Moon, R8.

Yeah, they dyed Zach Morris' hair blonde.

R2 I also have R1 blocked. I’m sure it’s no great loss

R42 ummm we know. It was obviously bottle blonde

[quote]Until all white people are the slaves

"are slaves" you mean.

Shaved By The Ballsh

R42 lol I remember when Lifetime did a TV movie about the BTS about Saved by the Bell and they had the scene of MPG dying his hair before episode tapings.

Has Jeff Stryker apologized for this yet??!?

[quote] Cher from the same place the Kardashians are from.

El Centro, California?

What’s Mark-Paul’s skin color?

As long as they don't apologize for using The Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited!" for a pill-popping episode, then so be it.

[quote] He’s not 15 anymore.

He was aged out even then.

[quote] Did you think he would be a teen forever?

No. I don’t suffer such delusions. I just stop the invitations to pool parties.

Singet = Singer

R50 yellow with womanly hips
