About racism threads.

These threads are causing huge problems. If you are going to accuse a housemate of racism you must be prepared to back it up with a pretty good argument.

Observing that one housemate has a problem with, or does not like, another person and concluding from that fact alone that (either party) is racist is insufficient.

Also, if remarks have been made by Big Brother housemates which are questionable do not automatically assume that these comments are racist. In this year's Big Brother many of the controversial remarks made by housemates are open to interpretation. They could be racist, or they could be insensitive or they could be neither and completely innocent.

Important: do not assume you that other forum members are in the wrong if you disagree with their interpretation and calling other forum members racist because of this not acceptable.
