Heather,
Though I personaly found Cliff to be quite likable, your comments about him getting kicked off top chef are extremely off base. Cliff's conduct was way out of line. He woke a man from his sleep and battered him by placing his hands upon him in an unwelcome fashion. This is not a race issue! Imagine if you were in Marcel's shoes.
Cliff's actions amount to an unacceptable breach of the rules of the show, and criminal and civil law. The consequences could have been much more severe and probably should have been.
Cliff's remorseful tone was indicative of the fact that he knew he had done wrong. Your apologist comments respecting his actions do no one any favors - black, white, etc.
Accountability is a key ingredient to responsibility. You'd do well to learn that.
