Aussies and Brits look at us Americans getting the vapors over the C-word and just shake their heads.

With all due respect, my take is that the c-word is just as vulgar and offensive as the n-word, and often used by misogynists for the same reasons racists use the n-word, to demean and dehumanize an entire group of people (and I understand Samatha wasn’t doing that), and that Samatha could’ve insulted Ivanka in a more creative, funny manner, so I think her apology is appropriate. And that is all I have to say about it. A much more serious topic, which is unfortunately going to sink beneath the waves of the Roseanne v. Samantha battle, is the nearly 5k deaths in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria, which should be a major scandal but somehow isn’t.
