Today, Chan apologized on her Facebook profile, saying that the time since O’Donnell singled her out, she has felt “horrible” and knows she “absolutely” made a mistake. O’Donnell accepted and thanked Chan for her apology, which “retaught America what a real apology sounds like.”
Should she be forgiven?
I would say no, but it's still the right thing to do to apologize. She sold out Chinese people as badly as if an Italian depicted all Italians as gangsters, or an Irish for depicting all Irish as drunks, or a Latino for depicting all Latinos as being illegal or white people as if all white people are hicks.
