1:22Now Playing"Fox News' Bob Beckel used a racial slur on Monday's "The Five," describing his eyes as "Oriental."
The roundtable on the show was discussing ways to relax and the benefits of napping. Beckel argued in favor of taking naps. When someone recommended exercising to recharge, Beckel dismissed the suggestion with this anecdote: "I went swimming. My eyes blew up, and it made me look Oriental."*
Fox News' liberal panelist Bob Beckel said his eyes looked "oriental" when they were swollen. "They don't say that??" he asked incredulously. No. At least people who are aware 'oriental' is a word that refers to things, and is offensive when referring to people. Cenk Uygur breaks down yet another Fox Fail.
