Be careful what you tweet for

Gwyneth Paltrow has been criticised for tweeting a rather offensive word, even though she was referencing a song title and didn't pen the quote herself. The Shallow Hal actress busied herself on the social networking site last Friday, using the N-word while cheering on her famous friends Jay-Z and Kanye West during their co-headline show in Paris. Dancing with the superstars during a guest-appearance onstage at their Watch The Throne tour, the mother-of-two then tweeted a photograph with the caption 'N***as in paris for real'. Gwyneth, who was wearing thigh-skimming shorts for the occasion, then defended herself, saying: 'Hold up. It's the title of the song!' But that's still no reason to use a racist slur. There are people that get offended by that word, and because Gwyneth Paltrow was so careless as to use that word, she is now to be considered a racist. According to Wikipedia, she is of Barbadian, German, Russian, Russian-Jewish, Polish-Jewish, and Pennsylvania Dutch descent, and that would make her one of the last people I'd think of as such a racist.
