Garrett's Racist Taunts: 'Wear the Turban!'

Brad Garrett ignited a new racial firestorm yesterday when the giant actor dropped some serious slurs at a paparazzo during a heated argument in the middle of the street.


We don't know what set off the scuffle, but Garrett can be clearly heard saying, "Wear the turban! Wear the turban!" People had to restrain both Garrett and the photog from attacking each other, but eventually Brad got into his car and drove off.

A rep for Garrett was not immediately available for comment.

61. Puhlease!!!! Wear the turban is not racist, Wrap the towel tighter around your head might be. Are the muslims embarrassed by their garb? You don't see other clergy whining racist when their garb is mentioned.

62. TMZ doing a story about racism - how ironic. Notice that just yesterday TMZ totally AVOIDED the story about a guest on Jamie Foxx's show calling Miley Cyrus a "little white b***h", and Jamie jumping on and saying that Miley should do a sex tape, shoot up heroin, smoke crack and catch an STD? I went back in the TMZ archives, and didn't have any problem finding a couple of articles about Don Imus's brain farts. The old double standard - if a white person says something racist, it's all over the media, everyone is outraged and Jessie and Al are screaming for boycotts and for heads to roll. But if a minority does the same thing, well let's just quietly sweep it under the table and ignore it and maybe it will go away.

63. That doesn't surprise me, as I've heard multiple times before that he's a real ass. In fact, while I was working @ the Indiana Jones Adventure ride two years back he came up to the marquee and said "I'm a celebrity, so get me to the front of the line" all bitchy and what not thinking he was some A-Class celeb (without a Host). Douchebag.

65. Good for Brad. TMZ and the corporate-sponsored terrorist paps deserve that AND WORSE. Are you aware at how much people hate you, Harvey?

66. Nejxn,
Ofcourse the media does it - they're supposed to make it seem shocking like, wow - oh no - we don't feel like that!!! Look at what they said - They swear.. everyone is imperfect and prone to atach to some common sterio types.. u cant say that stereo types are not true just not 100% and definitelt do not attest to the charachter of a person.. if Black Folk like grape soda what des that say about their charachter? NOTHING! all black folk dont even like it and all white people do not smell like balogna!!! however, in some cases these are true some black guys have a huge penis and some dont and visa vera u get my drift.. DO NOT DETERMINE PEOPLE BY THEIR COMMON DENOMINATORS BUT BY THEIR OWN SPECIFIC ACTIONS AND DO NOT JUDGE PERIOD CUZ YOU AINT GOT THE RIGHTS TO FOO =0)
MUCH LOVE

Great post! Of course, just us "white devils" like dear Queto loves to say, are the racists!! Never Sharpton, Wright, Jackson, Foxx, Father Phleger, and Queto are not racist at all. It is us "white devils" that are the evil racists. Come on Queto, please go on another rant about the "blue eyed white devils". I need to have one more laugh before I go home to my "blue eyed white devil" family. Hahahaahah

68. What a giant d-bag. Why can't he just say, "Hi...no comment." or something simple. He is mostly to blame for any altercations or problems...he's blowing it out of proportion.

69. "Blue Eyed Devils" Hahahaaaaaaaa! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. If I had some black person call me a blue eyed devil I think I would die laughing.

70. Ok its good to see saying something rude to people of brown skin is okay, but maybe everyone should know that 90% of the people who wear turbans are not terrorits or Muslims at all. They are Sikhs, I realize knowing anything about the world's fifth largest religion is asking to much from most people. I don't know if Garret is a racist but please know that the turban has wrongly been associated with terrorism.
