Why is one apology given and not the other?
- Apology for fat-shaming, but not for Southern-shaming
- Emily Blunt mimicked a Southern accent without apology
- No apology for making fun of people from the South
In a recent op-ed titled "’Sorry’ for Being So Blunt", Brenda Cronin discusses the issue of apologies. One particular incident mentioned is when Emily Blunt mimicked a Southern accent without offering any apology. This raises the question of why fat-shaming is seen as deserving of an apology, but Southern-shaming is not. The author points out the lack of apology for making fun of people from the South and suggests that Southern-shaming should be recognized as a term. The article highlights the need for consistency in holding individuals accountable for their actions and words, regardless of the target.
