More Mel Gibson tapes out there - uses another racial slur, the w-word

Is there anyone Mel Gibson actually likes?

The foulmouthed actor has been caught on yet another recording, this time making a bigoted remark against Latinos, RadarOnline.com reports.

In the recorded argument with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, Gibson is reportedly heard referring to one of his staff members as a "wetback," a racial slur used against people of Latino heritage.

According to Radar, Gibson implies he will report his female staffer to immigration authorities, saying, "I will report her to the f---ing people that take f---ing money from the wetbacks."

4. He *thinks* he likes Jesus
but if he actually met the guy, he'd slur him and report him to immigration.

5. I don't think I have ever heard anyone I know EVER use that term.
Edited on Sat Jul-10-10 02:44 PM by Jennicut
It dates back like 50 years ago. Even my conservative family members don't use terms like the N word and wetback. Gibson is off his rocker.

8. I don't understand why a white person arguing with another white person starts
throwing out slurs against racial groups not involved in the argument.

15. 50 years ago is pre Vatican II, so that's just about right for ol' Mel
His religion is prior to 50 years ago, so it should be no surprise that his attitude towards minorities is, too.

I hope a "pack of brothers" say "hello" to Mel's ass one of these days.

7. Celebrities with problems
Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, et al - they have issues, often magnified by substance abuse.

For that, all the best. But substance abuse doesn't excuse racism or violence.

12. I don't have a problem with this....
I'm sure Mel Gibson hates everybody equally. That's not discriminatory. What's the big deal?
