the big brother-style apology

Goody, who had criticized Shetty's accent and cooking, apologized by saying: "I know that what has happened has not been nice for you . and a lot of stuff got said the other day from you and from myself. I didn't say it in a racial way . I do not judge people by the colour of their skin," she said."I know that, I don't think you're racist," Shetty said, and the two hugged.

The irony is that CBC refers to it as an apology: http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/story/2007/01/19/big-brother.html
