I'll disregard your little comment because I don't intend to start a shitstorm, and I'll even grace you with a response because I feel particularly nice tonight.
Go re-read what I said, and you'll see how I was speaking specifically about her and her attitude, without generalizing to include EVERYBODY from 'the hood'. And believe me I know a lot of people who have been burried in deep crap, were subject to messed up environments and that have made it out. And the reason I respect these people is that they actually do have stories to tell and share their experience to encourage and inspire others that are in the same situation as them to show them that there's hope, that there's something better out there no matter how hard life gets.
I respect people who have dreams, who move things around to make things happen for them, who are inspiring and inspire others. In all the challenges and camera moments, what did Jaslene have to say about her and her passion and identity other than "yeah I'm from the hood like omg what". She had nothing interesting at all to say, neither about her past nor her future. It was all about her cockiness and talking worthless smack. The way she interacted with the other chicks also was so juvenile, it was just highschool-like drama queen attitude. What's ignorant in my opinion is to be rooting for somebody who has nothing at all to bring to the table other than looks (then again, even looks are very subjective as we can see in this thread).
