I don't think that Dustin was justified. I can understand how he could be upset being called a Nazi considering what they did to the Jews but in no way was Harvey being anti-semitic. Insensitive, yes. Racist? I don't think it was meant in this way.
Heres a better question. Should Dustin Diamond be considered a celebrity?
NO! I think he only reacted that way to get more time on camera. Who really cares about Dustin Diamond, he hasn't had any "jobs" until his sex tape was "leaked" and even then he only got on Celebrity Fit Club! He is just a big baby!
I think that the whole thing was an act. And, if they really didn't like him, he wouldn't be allowed back all of the time.
