Just saying..

[Scream]

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, couldn't watch it BB last night so watched it this morning. Deana done an impression of Conor's accent, basically mocking him then saying 'I can't even understand you.'

Now.. I'm pretty sure if Conor turned around to Deana and put on an Indian accent and said 'I can't even understand you' then it would've been all over the newspapers about racism.

What do you think?

[Jordan.]

Is that you chuff?

[Shaun]

can. we. stop. trying. to. turn. everything. into. a. race. or. gender. or. sexuality. row.

[Jords]

He was grumbling ffs

[InOne]

I do agree actually. I remember when BB10's Marcus got called up for it and he destroyed them in the DR. He said if he had been taking the piss out of anyone but Sree's accent he wouldn't have been called in, or if anyone else did it, they wouldn't have been called.

[smeagol]

i think its ok to take the piss out of any accent myself. its not racist unless what your saying is. she just couldn't understand him i cant either sometimes just because he cant speak properly nothing to do with where from.

I. am. not. all. I. am. saying. is. there. should. be. equality. as. if. it. was. the. other. way. round. Conor. would. have. been. called. racist.

Besides. I. like. Deana.

[Mystic Mock]

I see your point but I can't understand what Conor's saying and im not racist.

[Scream]

I see your point but I can't understand what Conor's saying and im not racist.

Mhm, yeah I totally agree that what Deana said WASN'T in any way racist.. but yeah, you know, it would've been totally blown out of proportion if it was the other way round

[reece(:]

There's already many justifications in the other thread.

deana doesn't have an accent.... so yea, if conor impersonated her with an accent she didn't have based on her heritage that would be pretty racist. Deana saying that she couldn't understand conor because he mumbles is just saying it like it is. Not the same

It'd be different because Deana is easy to understand. I didn't hear what Conor said either.

[billy123]

She didnt even do an impression of his accent so your arguments pretty screwed.
but dont let the facts get in the way of a bit of over reacting.

For a start, everyone has an accent so, oops.

Alright, cool lol. Wasn't arguing, just making a point :)

This

[art_apples]

Deana was criticising his mumbling and not his race... and Conor couldn't really turn around and do a mock Indian accent as you suggest because Deana in fact speaks very clear English and doesn't have any sort of Indian accent. She was at no stage mimicking an Irish accent, but was clearly just mimicking his mumbling.

[Iamkontroll]

Do i need to be more specific for you to follow? Deana doesn't have an Indian accent...

[fruit_cake]

accents should be fair game, but they aren't.

What do you think?

I opened thread about it last night,I was disgusted and more disgusted by the amount of people who said it was ok her doing this

Yes, people should learn from us. We are brilliant, we speak the truth.

[Scream]

Erm.. I'm pretty sure if I just heard her voice I could tell she was Indian. She doesn't have a strong Indian accent but you can definitely tell she is Indian just by listening to her voice.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I had no idea what he said either :conf2:
Whereas Deana's accent is clear
There was no racist intention at all.

Clear to you, maybe. Clear to me also, but maybe not clear to Conor.

[Black Dagger]

LMAO, he was clearly mumbling.

But with some, Deana is the anti-christ and must have spikes put through her head for being such an awful woman :idc:

[JTM45]

Her accent is 100% Brummy!!!!
There's not even a hint of 'Indian' in there so your whole point (which doesn't actually exist) is redundant.

You're probably right, but I just don't hear it. Most likely because I'm American and all I hear is an English accent. Do other English people on this forum find her accent as instantly recognizable?

[Scream]

I do like Deana btw.. so it's not like I'm against Deana and I'm all out to get her! :devil:

Plus I'm not really a fan of Conor so you know..

[ransom]

This place is mad. Absoloutely mental.

[Scream]

Hm, no I guess it's opinions and where people are from.. so as it's accents, you are probably in the right also :)

In your opinion. In mine I would be able to tell she was Indian. Thanks.

Well as im a Brummie I totally agree with what your saying.

I do agree actually. I remember when BB10's Marcus got called up for it and he destroyed them in the DR. He said if he had been taking the piss out of anyone but Sree's accent he wouldn't have been called in, or if anyone else did it, they wouldn't have been called.

That will always remain one of my top BB moments. Was so funny and so true :laugh:

[Scream]

Don't see why it's a big problem I think it would've been different.. I know for a fact it would've.
