Being a hard worker and being raised to say what's on one's mind doesn't mean one is not also racist. I don't know if she is or not, but I hope she at least learns that, as far as she may have come, she needs to learn to think before she flaps her mouth. And it doesn't matter at all if Shetty knows or doesn't know the reality of Jade's upbringing. I know a lot of people who were raised using "ni**er" casually, too, but that doesn't make it any less disgusting in the real world.
