What is going on? Is this 1952?

In MTV Reality The Gays
So we've all heard too much about Michael Richards and his racist debacle, right? Well, apparently that word isn't just for former sitcom sidekicks anymore.
Now, I didn't watch it, but apparently The Real World had a crazy racism episode last night. The Real World, which hasn't been watchable since New Orleans, has basically gone from experiment where twentysomethings learn to respect each others differences to a loud, drunk, entitled romp where people try to make as many dangerous mistakes per minute as possible. On last night's episode, handily recapped by Reality Blurred, one white cast member calls a black member the n-word.
And you want to know the worst part? It was the gay guy.
Now I know what my mom means when she says she feels embarassed when a jew does something bad and it gets on the news.

For some ungodly reason I kept recording and watching the Real World (I guess because I still harbored lingering memories of the earliest seasons), but mid-way through this episode I decided no more. Hard to believe that what was fresh in the first season: actual young adults, with actual jobs of various types, living together for a period of time and actually trying to do so as adults, would devolve into this crapfest. Now each season is the same: a group of young imature idiots with nothing to do to occupy their time but drink and sleep and argue with each other. The travesty that was this week’s episode is only the natural result of this downward spiral .
