Slightly racist twitter account?

[alex_front2]

Found this on a DS thread

Just looking through her twitter account: http://twitter.com/Sara_McLeanx and on March 12th she retweeted something that was racist and then five days later on March 17th she decided to go one better by saying, I quote:

"what is this world coming to?! trends about black people? don't people have anything better to tweet about. ugh"

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Is anyone not racist these days? :nono::nono::joker:

[Vicky.]

Really depends on what the 'trending' subject was at the time IMO.

She could simply mean why are people singling out black people for whatever reason, or it could be the other way.

This!

[chuff me dizzy]

No one knows in what context it was tweeted and what it was replying too, FGS get a grip and put the racist card back in the drawer its boring now

[erinp5]

BB Ashleen"know yourself" (Wrong spelling of name ) is a good friend of Sara's and I can't see Ashleen having a racist mate .

Only if you are a white person in UK who is less likely to experience racism. Was called a n*gger last week just for walking down the street.

[AshesonMars]

That's not enough to go on to accuse her of being racist. Her tweet could very well be in reference to a trending topic that was racist.

I go on Twitter and there are always racist trending topics on there. Sometimes these topics aren't intended as being racist, but they get hijacked by racists.

Seems like there's always a #thingsblackpeopledo #thingswhitepeopledo etc., trending topics and they always turn nasty.

She was probably just talking about that.

Doesn't surprise me that the DS loons have jumped on the racist bandwagon though.

Racism works both ways

[Kate!]

BB Ashleen"know yourself" (Wrong spelling of name ) is a good friend of Sara's and I can't see Ashleen having a racist mate .

good point, and also as pointed out above^ it was highly likely the tweets were negative and that's why Sara was annoyed.

I discovered a former colleague hated Southern Asian people.

[Me. I Am Salman]

90% sure she was trying to be the complete opposite.

I'm sorry you're subjected to that, nobody should ever have to be. But, you then go on to post a tweet out of context claiming racism!

[Jords]

Its probably about them ****ty trends like

#whatablackwomanwouldsay

[alex_front2]

Give her benefit of doubt, Sara needs to be extremely careful how she writes her tweets.

This! I've seen them myself plenty of times.

[Mystic Mock]

Im shocked, but she also said on May 31st that the Queen does **** all.

[Vicky.]

IMO people crying racism at the slightest opportunity trivialises real racism that goes on in the world. Same as those who scream bully as soon as something negative is said about someone.

[Mystic Mock]

Sara also tweeted that her Sister is racist.:shocked:

Im sorry Sara fans but I think it's not a coincidence.

Amen to that !!

[Vicky.]

In a tweet?

I CBA looking back through her whole account but if she said this then that kinda proves her whole 'god save the queen' thing is only an act. As Im sure she broke down in tears a while back because someone said that the queen did nothing?

Yeah she said it in one of her past Tweets.

Completely agree with you Chuff!
people throw the card round too much tbh

[Shaun]

who would make a thread about Sara being racist :rolleyes: lame

[Vicky.]

Yeah she said it in one of her past Tweets.

Oh dear. The one thing that made her slightly interesting/different is fake. Who would have thought it :laugh:

[Colbert-Bump]

Im shocked, but she also said on May 31st that the Queen does **** all.

I bloody knew she copied that Queen stuff from Rodrigo Lopes in BB10, what an actress.:devil:

So if Luke S or Ashleigh had said this would people be defending them? apparently her Sister is a racist according to one of Sara's other tweets, on top of her own tweet here it kind of makes it hard for her not to be a racist.

[chuff me dizzy]

Completely agree with you Chuff!

Far too much ,like Vicky said its stop people taking serious REAL racism and bullying

Ha :evilgrin: slimeball

[Grotbags]

I have to say, she had me fooled. I thought that she was going a little overboard with the royalist stuff but I did believe that she was genuine.

Here's the tweet about her sister too - https://twitter.com/Sara_McLeanx/status/208924372449243136

[Vicky.]

According to DS, its a fake account :suspect:

Threads been deleted there now but here was the post

Upon further inspection, it appears that the account belongs to somebody else, who has changed the previous username (LilyFox) to Sara_McLeanx. See an example here. https://twitter.com/Sara_McLeanx/status/208128833432461312

tbf that could read fussing in this sense..

'Why is everyone getting annoyed over the Diamond Jubliee?? The Queen doesnt do **** all'

Cause like saying the Queen doesnt do **** all is saying she does something.

Aha! Thanks for that Vicky

[Vicky.]

The account was around, but under a different name ;)

[Shaun]

"Oh let's change my identity to a BB Housemate that sounds fun" :crazy:

[Gillian-73]

Whoever the account belonged to changed their twitter name to Sara's after Sara entered the house. I could go and change mine to any of their names, if the fancy took me.

[Locke.]

Obviously a fake. Other than the display picture (which you can find on google) there is not one other picture of Sara posted... and people as good looking as her would obviously post a picture every now an then.

Definitely someone just setting up a fake account in advance so they can pretend to be her when she's evicted.

[Mystic Mock]

Alright im understanding it now, will the account be banned or anything?

[Grotbags]

Poor Lauren has been fooled by it too. She's following that account.

[Jayson]

*makess an account pretending to be Deana*

*tweets about how much Conor is bullying me*

*forgets that housemates don't have internet in the house*

*still fools half of the audience*

Plus since shes a model, she would have lots of promo shoots, and other pictures shown all over..

hahaha :joker:
I may make a fake Becky one

[AshesonMars]

Quite easily.

The account belongs to someone else. At some point, they decided to change their username to Sara's name. Could have been weeks ago.

I could do it with mine. It's been up and running for a few years. If I take a dislike to one of the HMs next year, and I'm that much of a sad bastard to do it, I could change my username to their name and claim it's their official twitter. Then post the link on DS et al. The posters will then argue that it 'must be real' because my timeline goes further back than the length of time that particular HM has been in the house.

Simples.

It's the oldest trick in the Twitter trolling book and has been done before.

[Gillian-73]

Alright im understanding it now, will the account be banned or anything?

Yes. It's against the t&c's

[Mystic Mock]

Yeah your first tweet as Becky could be "im eating the whole house".:joker:

[Colbert-Bump]

Why would it be a fake account? Her last tweet was on the day of launch night.

[Munchkins]

Yeah your first tweet as Becky could be "im eating the whole house".:joker:

"Waiting for the Chicken nug nugs to be ready, whilst singing a fake song to gain popularity"
"Doing Aerobics in the pool, whilst my saggy boobs hang out"

[Mystic Mock]

Yes. It's against the t&c's

Oh alright thanks.

[Gillian-73]

Lol but tbh hms who do have twitter accounts prior to the house do often leave them open with family and friends doing the tweeting.

people who do that are so sad

Omg fake..
I was just about to put her in my liking category

[Jarrod]

That can't be her Twitter? There's tweets from June 5th? The Launch and i doubt their her Family

[aman201]

it defo is fake, cos some tweets talk about year 11 and half-term.

Sara's 22.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I think this was on black history month or something like that were trolls were trending about famous black people dying ie: Eddy Murphy and Michael Jordan when obviously they were still alive and kicking.

She could have just been responding to that.

Or like previous posters have said the account is just created by some silly little school girl with no friends.

I think you'll find Caroline had no internet access during this period.

[Jordan.]

It's a fake account.

[King Gizzard]

There's usually stupid trends like ''#WhatBlackPeopleTalkLike'' and stuff like that, so I'd take a guess it was a condemning tweet if anything

[iRyan]

That account is fake, look at this:

Sara McLean ‏@Sara_McLeanx
1990's kids grew up with the spice girls and we grew up with the likes of one direction, great

Sara's 22. Clearly the person who runs this account is a teenager.

[vortex]

I would like to see the context in which those tweets where made before I judge it.
