But wouldn't they be the same then to Scott and Caroline,but most of them seem ok with them,i'm not sure what to make of Deana yet.

Here is a test to see how Implicitly racist you are, it's weird thinking you think something ...when you don't haha

Sorry alex, I just meant to me personally not in general.

If that did happen there'd be no one left to go into the house. Everyone has prejudice's in one aspect or another. We're all guilty of it, it's just a matter of whether you are mature enough to deal with it and learn from it or not.

Maybe, although I had an interview the other day and they asked me if I were a biscuit what would I be........Stop messin wit my mojo!

I said a hobnob.....Does that make me crazy?...probably?

[Bluerang1]

I don't think they're being racist just stupid. However, if Deana was black, I may have pulled the race card, sorry.

You're only being racist if your intent is to be offensive, in the case of Emily Parr, she wasn't.

Impossible to accuse Arron or Conor of actually being racist, unless they bring her race up in a derogatory way.

[Kizzy]

It's just because she gets whiney, her and lydia..still can't believe lyds nominated her....

I hate crazy, left-field questions in interviews. They make me feel uncomfortable.

Your Result
Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American.
The interpretation is described as 'automatic preference for European American' if you responded faster when European American faces and Good words were classified with the same key than when African American faces and Good words were classified with the same key. Depending on the magnitude of your result, yo

interesting, tyvm Kizzy!

Thank you sir, sometimes we over analyze things, time will tell.

Just did this is my result, some questions were hard to answer though cos I'm not up on American Politics, I just chose Barrack Obama cos he's more pleasing to the eye lol :

Spoiler:

Your results are reported below:
Your data suggest a moderate implicit preference for Barack Obama compared to Mitt Romney.
Your data suggest little to no difference in implicit preference between Black People and White People.

I don't think Conor and Arron are racists.

Charlie Drummond from BB10 however is a completely different story as on launch night he completely blanked Benazir, hated Siavash before Siavash even done anything wrong, and he just never seemed to like any ethnic person.

[Redway]

There's nothing I can add that hasn't already been said but I agree with the general idea that whoever brings up the race card for this is either taking the piss or genuinely needs to stop posting on here and get an education.

If you're on a game show then it is your duty to judge people based on their personality. If people don't like Deana then perhaps it's because of her personality rather than the colour of their skin. The lot of them are there to judge personalities and to try and defend your favourite housemate with an incredibly weak and stupid argument then you know something's wrong.

You're never going to know what they say about Deana behind closed doors. They could have for more negative views on her based on personality or they could indeed be racist. There's no way of knowing if someone's racist at all if they don't make a public display of it.

The thing that grates me is the fact that some people on here think they can use the race card to defend Deana. I'm actually really struggling to get my head around it all.

[Jords]

Nobody is racist fgs

[King Gizzard]

I bet there have been other Emily incidents BB have covered up, they just wanted to make an example that time

Twas very harsh on here I think that time, scapegoated

That logic can be applied to anyone on this planet, not just Conor and Arron. In fact, any hidden views based on anything can be applied to anyone.

The only thing I object to is this nonsense that doing your job makes you racist.

[vortex]

Racism can have many layers and it can be hard to spot at first sight, a person could make a joke about someone else's race but so subtle nobody notices it, in this BB house I dont really think there's any sort of racism against the minorities, I just think Arron, Conor and Luke S want Deana out cos she's an easy target.

[achro]

Why is everyone saying racism needs to be "intended" for it to be racism?

This is not true at all.
