Cierra Ortega Was Secretly Removed From "Love Island": Here's Everything We Know

The comment section was filled with people sharing why they found her use of the word so harmful:

"Growing up being called that slur and having someone who casually used it in posts is disappointing. Racist people should never have a platform; she deserves the same treatment as Yulissa. The host of the show is literally dating an Asian man too, Love Island needs to do better." —Janna

"As a first-generation asian american, this is incredibly disappointing to see. racist jokes towards asians have been downplayed for so long, and it is important that we speak up." —Sarah

"As an Asian, I’m not hurt but offended that anyone outside of the Asian culture has the audacity to comment on our looks by using a very common racial slur. If she 'doesn’t know' what the C word means, then we clearly are lacking intelligence and common sense!!! You do know what it means because you used it perfectly in a sentence to make sense." —Ava
