Interesting take by Robin Ford at Salon: "Which brings me back to Paula. Why is everyone acting so surprised that a white Southern lady of a certain age has used the N-word? Of course she has. I wouldn’t believe her if she said she hadn’t. I’d be surprised if there are many Southerners Deen’s age who have never used it. I disagree with the knee-jerk reaction of the Food Network and other companies to dump her – who did you think you were getting when you signed her on? She is still a sassy, funny, Southern cook who likes fattening comfort food. But now, she’s also a real person. Discrimination and prejudice will never get better if we sweep it under the rug and pretend it’s not there."
