Is Juror B37 Racist?



Juror B37 — the one who hates the media, called Trayvon "a boy of color", and already has a high powered literary agent — just sat down with Anderson Cooper to answer questions about the trial. It's... well, what you would expect.

She says some pretty upsetting stuff, much of it about Rachel Jeantel not being a credible witness, and referring to Trayvon and Rachel as "these people" and "their way of life". Uh, did you mean teenagers? Say what you mean, woman."*

Juror B37 from the George Zimmerman trial appeared on Anderson Cooper's CNN show to talk about the trial, throwing around phrases like "those people," "boy of color," and saying George Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" when he shot Trayvon Martin. Understandably, people are saying she was showing racial prejudice, and are shocked at how casual she seemed to be with it. Is she racist? Is she ignorant?
