Paula Dean

I think it would be really hard to find ANYONE who has NEVER used a racial remark.  She was being honest - as all of us should.

Where I think the difference is ... is when a racial remark is uttered - that we then go: "oh - that's wrong" ... not because you're going to get fired, released or cancelled ... but because we shouldn't be using offensive inflaming language in the first place.

If you want the 1st Amendment to protect your speech - it does ... and if you think that it protects your bias - then you're right.  You're protected.  Just realize though: just because the law protects your bias, doesn't make your bias morally and civilly right.

You can't claim to be moral - and yet think having a bias is acceptable.
