Raven-Symone immediately came under fire by her fellow co-hosts on “The View” Friday when she admitted to being “discriminatory” about certain names.
“Just to bring it back, can we take back ‘racist’ and say ‘discriminatory,’ because I think that’s a better word. And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in the video,” she said. “I’m not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It’s just not going to happen. I’m not going to hire you.”
After the red mohawk-rocking panelist shared her view, another co-host pointed out that no one really has control over what name his/her parents chose. Raven seemed to ignore her comment, adding, “Is that mean?” in reference to her statement.
