    Racism in Big Brother

    Can anyone tell me exactly what has been said that is racist?

    I'm seeing a huge amount of publicity given to this, indeed even the government is now involved, without a single quote or example or any form of evidence whatsoever to back it up.

    I haven't seen celeb BB, so I'm obviously open to correcting here, but I'd like to think that if there is going to be an international incident then there is a reason for it.

    I'm almost thinking of tuning in to see for myself, but that's what they want me to do ;)

    haven't seen bb but read a few articles on the racism... words like "paki cunt", "you don't know where thier hands have been", etc. have been uttered alongside racial bullying.

    think its all the girls with fake tits that are racist... dont know if theres any connection to be made though...

    was that said? :eek:

    the only bits i heard about, where shilpa had made the chicken and it was cooked very well - they were all doing impression of her indian accent and saying they eat with their hand " oo u don't know where they've been" - i think that was jade, the troll from s-club and the scouse lass

    plus jade's mum called her ' the indian '

    It seems more like ignorance and intolerance from the dregs of society to a genuinely pretty hardworking talented women.

    Or jealousy

    I cant believe they'd be as stupid as to say anything like that, especially since they're obviously so desperate to make a career comeback, to appear on there. :down:

    I've watched 'celeb' big brother most nights :oops: and to be honest i havent seen anything which would warrant a racism card. sure its bullying, but nobody has said 'oh i hate that paki what a wierdo'. Jade isn't really in any position to have a go at anybody for being different. Danielle is an empty headed fucker also and Jo seems a little jealous of the fact that shilpa is more famous than her. Shilpa is handling the whole situation well, but then nothing has been really obvious. most of the negative talk has been done behind her back.

    This is exactly the point.

    People have had a hard time on BB before and noones really given a toss.

    Obviously if someones said 'paki cunt' it's inexcusable, and they should probably be prosecuted. It doesn't sound like they have though.

    Everything else....I'm not convinced. It may be bullying but too many people are too quick to start bandying 'Racist!!!!' around imo, and it detracts from real cases when they do.

    just watched the video on youtube he said paki cunt and made monkey noises, the mother went on and on about not being able to pronounce her name, they're all taking the piss out of her voice, suggesting that indians are skinny because they eat ill cooked meat, etc.

    Its blatant racism.

    just the press making a meal of it to sell papers mate, which in turn makes the average mug think everything you say is racist/homophobic/sexist/ageist. Basically if you are a young white straight male you best keep your mouth shut

    so making monkey noises and calling someone a paki cunt isn't racist?
