Terry Bradshaw apologized earlier this week for calling actor Ken Jeong “that little short guy from Japan.” Jeong is a Korean American.
Bradshaw and Jeong, one of the funniest character actors working, are longtime friends.
“I made an insensitive remark today about Ken, who I’ve known for some time. I’ve spoken to him about the importance of cultural respect and apologized for my offensive comments,” Bradshaw said in a statement. “I would like to also apologize to the Asian-American community for my insensitivity.”
OK, hopefully that will be the end of it.
But are the terms “insensitive” and “politically correct” the same thing? I ask because of the exchange in Bradshaw’s comments.
