‘Big Brother 15′: Jeremy McGuire glosses over Aaryn Gries’ racist remarks
What is interesting about his take on the Aaryn Gries – GinaMarie Zimmerman scandal involving their racist remarks is that while he at least seems to be cognizant of the notion that people are upset about some of what they said, he really does not have any interest at all in trying to be a part of them. Speaking to Zap2It in a new interview, he tried to excuse himself from the situation largely by saying that he was not around to hear too much of it:
“I’m not really quite sure. I can’t speculate too much on that. I think that they were nice to me [in the house], but that’s all I can really say about that. I don’t really know too much about what’s going on. I don’t know if I heard too much of it. I did hear a few little racial things, but I don’t know how bad it is.”
Jeremy went into one of his more specific uses of the word “Jew” in his Rob Has a Podcast exit interview, and said that while in retrospect he would not have used the same sort of charged language that he did, he did not mean it in “a mean way” and made many of his comments in front of someone who is Jewish.
So has Jeremy really learned anything here at all? He proclaims that he has, but anyone who follows these sort of shows knows that you’re not going to change your whole personality in a few weeks. These things take time, and Jeremy may need to digest what everyone really thinks about him before coming out on the other side.

Jeremy obviously doesn’t want to call himself or his “friends” out for what they said. If you look up Big Brother 15 Bigotry Supercut on YouTube, you’d see that Jeremy, Spencer, Aaryn, GinaMarie, Kaitlin, Amanda, and Andy all made some really racist and derogatory comments. I can’t get pass the fact that some of these people have no self-awareness or sensitivity to people with different ethnic/cultural background. I hope that they will all learn from this and be better people.
