Chrissy Teigen Responds to Racial Slurs
Chrissy Teigen used her much-followed Twitter account to talk about racism Thursday. Of course, the 29-year-old model of Thai and Norwegian descent didn't do it in a "The More You Know" kinda way. She did it in a Chrissy Teigen kinda way.
"I dropped my sunglasses this AM on Santa Monica blvd and this seemingly normal looking dude screamed 'f---ing ch---s always dropping s--t,'" she tweeted. "Like that's not even a stereotype. get your s--t together. What a bad racist."
She continued, "We were the only ones on the block and he screamed it from 5 feet away. Then when I acknowledged it he said 'oh now the [sic] can hear.'"

Then, John Legend's wife switched back to her normal laid-back self. "Anyhoo, that was my morning!" she wrote. "If you see a guy in [West Hollywood] wearing a brown suit jacket and jeans, probably avoid eye contact."
Many of Teigen's 710K followers, including producer and actress Mindy Kaling and actress Emmy Rossum, quickly showed their support.
@chrissyteigen WHAT?! That's an insanely hilarious new racism I've never heard of before. Congrats, sociologically.

@chrissyteigen he's lucky I wasn't there. I have NO tolerance for intolerance. It wouldn't have been pretty.

For his sake, the ignorant guy who uttered those slurs better have changed his clothes by now.
