Washington: "I Was Fired Because I'm Black"
Actor Isaiah Washington insists the only reason he was fired from TV show
Grey's Anatomy for making a homophobic remark was because of the color of his
skin. Washington infamously made an offensive comment about castmate T.R.
Knight last October and repeated it at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this
year. But the 43-year-old claims he was fired from Grey's Anatomy earlier
this month because America can't find it in its heart to forgive an
African-American. He cites the examples of actor Robert Downey, Jr., who has
rebuilt his career despite multiple run-ins with the police over his drug
problems, and politician Arnold Schwarzenneger, who has fought allegations of
sexual misconduct. Washington tells U.S. magazine Newsweek, "I apologized and
showed my remorse for what I said and for the pain I caused anyone. If a
black man can't get forgiveness in this country, when so many other people
like Robert Downey, Jr. and the governor of California get second and third
chances... I think that says a lot about race and this country where we
stand."

唉，雖然我蠻喜歡Burke這個角色
對Isaiah實在有點失望...
