Paula Deen. What hasn’t been said about her since she went on the record with her racist comments and then apologized and then more racist stuff came out? Well, now her personal cook has a few more stories that solidify Deen’s place in Racism’s Hall Of Fame. Check them out after the jump.
After hearing of these stories, it seems that Paula Deen’s frequent use of the n-word is just the icing on the thick pound cake of racial stereotypes she attempted to perpetuate.
As per her (former) longtime cook, Dora Charles, Paula Deen has been accused of asking black kitchen workers to wear Aunt Jemima-style outfits while working in the restaurant that made her a star. But, that’s not it.
Charles recently sat down with The New York Times, who reported [that]:
The money was not great. Mrs. Charles spent years making less than $10 an hour, even after Ms. Deen became a Food Network star. And there were tough moments. She said Ms. Deen used racial slurs. Once she wanted Mrs. Charles to ring a dinner bell in front of the restaurant, hollering for people to come and get it.
“I said, ‘I’m not ringing no bell,’ ” Mrs. Charles said. “That’s a symbol to me of what we used to do back in the day.”
Crazy.
