Big Brother Row: 'Goody's Not A Racist'
Thursday January 18, 01:00 PM Jade Goody's spokeswoman has insisted the Celebrity Big Brother contestant's behaviour is not racist after another blazing row on the show. Complaints have now reached 30,000, including 3,000 to channel 4, after accusations that an Indian actress Shilpa Shetty was suffering bigoted abuse. During last night's episode, Goody launched a foul-mouthed tirade against the Bollywood star. But Jade's spokeswoman said: "I have not heard Jade say anything that could be interpreted as a racist Advertisement remark. "I am not denying the fact that it appears Jade dislikes Shilpa, but I don't believe her race is the reason." Complaints have flooded in since Jade Goody, her mother Jackiey Budden and boyfriend Jack Tweed; model Danielle Lloyd and former S Club singer Jo O'Meara allegedly began bullying the 31-year-old Indian star. Goody had told the actress: "You need a day in the slums. (Swearing) go in your community and go to all those people who look up to you and be real. You (swearing) fake." Lloyd later said Shetty should "(Swearing) off home", adding: "She can't even speak English properly." After the argument, an upset Shilpa complained for the first time that she was the victim of racist bullying. Channel 4 continues to insist there has been "no overt racial abuse or racist behaviour" on the show. Meanwhile, the broadcaster is enjoying a large jump in viewing figures, with 5.7 million people watching it last night - it slumped to 2.7 million on January 13. Chancellor Gordon Brown insisted Britain and India are not divided over the race row, after protesters in the sub continent burned effigies of the show's organisers. He said: "India and Britain are bound by shared values that support fairness and tolerance. We are against any form of racism or intolerance." |

Well, Its true. She isnt.
The only slightly raceist comment i have heard made was from Danielle. I agree with the spokesperson - "I am not denying the fact that it appears Jade dislikes Shilpa, but I don't believe her race is the reason." |

It may not be racist - but it is definitely inexcusable. I think Jade would probably have hit Shilpa last night if Jermaine had not intervened.

Jade is just concocting an image to try and preach working class values to Shilpa but Shilpa knows far more about true moral values than Jade ever will. Its pathetic. |

Oh yeah comon, and your all binge drinking white brits, trying to keep your race above the rest.
Im white and iv heard how racism is so natural, in pubs and in the offices Imagine if it was Jermain instead of Shilpa. Shes different Colour, class and culture. AND so were the black people when they came to britain. |

The girl who took Danielles miss world crown, and Derek Laud was just on ITV news, Derek doesn't believe it's racism atall,he basically said, people who have suffered racism, know that what's going on in the house at the moment, is just a clash of personalities, not racism.. But the Miss World winner insisted that she though it was. she said " I trhought we'd got past all that"

Of it's open to interpretation, but people will obviously put their pseudo-racism spin on it anytime. |

Jade brought up the term 'slums', because Jade likes to give off this image that she is 'from the slums' and she has paid her dues and is an utter triumph in life. You go on to claim Jade was merely telling Shilpa to understand what the 'real world' is like, so, ill just leave you to weigh up........hard working, understanding, world wide superstar....or.....ignorant reality tv star. |

I've previously described it as 'cultural ignorance'.
But I think the word 'slums' reminded me of the awful things Jackiey said and also with Danielle's 'F off back home' now. I don't know. Someone said if this had all happened in football or another sport we would definitely describe it as racism. In fact there was an incident the other day where a South African cricketer was heard calling Pakistani fans 'animals who should be in a zoo' and was charged with racism, and you think back to how Shilpa has been compared to animals. It just seems suspicious. Maybe these people in BB just don't heard the words that they say or consider the consequences of saying them because they are ignorant. But I don't know. |

Thats like saying men are cleverer than woman. and not get called a sexist, rather get called an ignorant. i dont see how that works. saying its ignorance rather than racism, is just giving a lee-way to rasism. rather making us forget about the effects or rasism. |

I think Jade just took it way over the top.. Shilpa didn't raise her voice and Jade was charging towards Shilpa.. I don't understand why big brother never interviened, if Jermaine didn't stop it Jade would of hit her.. nevertheless she still verbally bullies Shilpa.
