It's kinda mean to make fun of someone's blunder like this you know.

It sounds like she had all these pre-scripted, canned answers memorized, but got thrown for a pretty bad loop and the canned answers got all mixed up.

Would it be socially acceptable to react the same way if instead of a white girl messing up her lines it was a black girl? Would there have been "dumb black" instead of "dumb blonde" jokes?
