Still determined to make amends for his anti-Semitic remarks when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated almost a month ago, Mel Gibson has quietly been calling members of the Jewish community in Hollywood and personally apologizing for his actions. TMZ says:
Two of the people he called, who wish to remain anonymous, say Gibson told them that he wanted them to know that he was really sorry and he was working on his "problem." Gibson also said that he hoped he would be able to work with them again. The two people who gave the debrief on Gibson's conversation to TMZ say that they were less than moved by the actor's apology. One said he was civil to Gibson but was unconvinced that Gibson has changed his stripes.
Good for those two people who refuse to accept Gibson’s apology, because this is the worst thing anyone has ever done. Racist bigotry and stereotypes will not be allowed. Not in Hollywood, my friend. Except for showing Germans as Nazis. And Italians as mobsters. And the Irish as drunk. And black people in gangs. And Asians as shop keepers. And Canadians as wide-eyed dopes. And Mexicans as servants. Other than that, no, no sir, no racism. Ever. This is Hollywood, and we just don’t cotton to that kind of thing.
