I see what you mean, but I still say that Rosie's in the wrong, here. It's not just that she's strong-willed or passionate in her convictions; she made a very public ethnic slur, the offensive nature of which is independent of her strong will or convictions, and she needs to be held to account for it just like anyone should be.
