Remember the "reaching" comments last week...?

(I just assumed they'd actually had chicken for dinner)

[ThriceShy]

Is it a coincidence that the two people bullied are both black.

How can john preach about Winston's views when he is prepared to say that about a black woman?

[Josy]

I never heard this?

Johns just a dick though

[Denver]

I didn't know only black people are chicken?

[Cal.]

Get John out!

[Lostie!]

I wish people wouldn't be so quick to accuse people of racism.

[Xtopher]

Ew, I didn't hear that.

thats quite funny, i didnt get that when I heard it

maybe that suggests you saw it as a racial remark when it actually wasnt??

But as it was John, I will go along with the racial slur and ask that he be removed immediately for being an absolute d..khead!

Who the f..k does he think he is?

Who made him the house spokesman?

why doesnt anyone tell him to speak for himself and not for them?

Answers on a postcard please!!

[Mitchell]

Lol, yeah of course it was meant racially...

[reece(:]

Clarification :flowers:

un‧der‧tone [countable]
1 a feeling or quality that is not directly expressed but can still be recognized [↪ overtone]

[drantb]

I think they might have just had chicken that night.

I want John out, he was a nasty **** to Tiffany tonight but that didn't seem racially motivated. The whole "chicken" stereotype isn't really a thing over here.

[Carl Jayson]

Disgusting racist controlling rat. I honestly want him ejected from the house I'm SO glad he's ruined all of his chances of winning.

He had the GP on side with the whole he's doing it for his mam, and I couldn't be happier that he's let that fake mask slip.

YAS at him no longer reaching the final! :cheer2:

[Calderyon]

I didn´t/don´t understand it. (the comment)

Meaning i have never heard it before.

[Denver]

So your saying black people can act how they want without being challenged by a white person? If a white person challenges them then they are racist?

[ThriceShy]

I wish people wouldn't be so quick to accuse people of racism.

Well john was quick enough to accuse Winston of homophobia.

[bots]

if he had said fried chicken, maybe, but chicken is a common meat in the bb house

[Beso]

You are the only one associating black people with chicken so i make you the racist.

Parden my ignorance but I don't get what chicken has to do with racism? :shrug:

stereotype that black people like fried chicken.

[bots]

Parden my ignorance but I don't get what chicken has to do with racism? :shrug:

eating fried chicken has been used in the past as a racist slur. I remember a golfer said it to tiger woods and got censured.

[reece(:]

:umm2:

Don't be pathetic, go away :pat:

[Cherie]

Tbf I think he was just saying that Tiffany wanted food handed to her :laugh:

[chuff me dizzy]

Pissing hell ,Shilpa claimed poppadom was racist, now we have folk claiming chicken is a race too

No if you'd read the OP that wasn't what Reece was saying at all. Lmao.

I didn't actually say anything I was referring to a twitter interpretation. But users will use any excuse to take jabs. Quite sad imo!

I know that there's definitely a subsection of viewers who are not imaginative enough to recognize racism unless it involves literal lynchings and hate crimes and whatnot, but really???

As for the chicken comment, I didn't catch that one but there are some obvious Angry Black Woman undertones to the idea that everyone in the house is terrified of Tiffany and fearing for their safety.

[reece(:]

Reece isn't actually saying that so....

[BB4fan]

John is a git but how do we not know that she doesn't like Chicken...????

Let's not all rush to hate on him yet.

John is a vile bully and Tiffany is a stupid cow.

[Amy Jade]

I never heard him say that but it kind of depends...If they were eating chicken or she's said it's her favourite food he was just being a typical twat.

If it was just an off the cuff comment then it is a little racist imo

[EspeonBB]

Pissing hell ,Shilpa claimed poppadom was racist, now we have folk claiming chicken is a race too

Is this a serious comment?

[Daniel-X]

Tbf that was a to everyone

Whether it be at everyone or just Reece, we aren't saying that at all.

I'm sure someone from an Oriental background wouldn't like being told that all they want is Sweet and Sour because it's just associating something very stereotypical with that person to make an offensive remark (e.g. John Partridge saying all Tiffany wants is Chicken)

[GiRTh]

It's ridiculous . We aren't allowed to say anything these days with the PC brigade screaming racism over it.

We aren't allowed to have an opinion on the EU open door policy without the PC bunch screaming racism.

[Northern Monkey]

I'm no John fan at all but....

HELL NO!

I doubt it very much.They were more than likely having chicken for tea.Fgs!

Why has everything gotta be an 'ism' these days?

Chicken is not just a food for black people if didn't originate from Africa or the Caribbean where sweet and sour is always a oriental food

I wondered how long it would take before the 'PC brigade!!!!!!111' were brought up :rolleyes:

[Kizzy]

I'm sure the other day they were on about food and she said she ate a lot of meat?... Maybe she's on the Atkins or something?

[Beso]

Well said adam, which makes it even more stupid that reece would associate black people and chicken, unless he sees it with his own eyes.

[Jake.]

pretty much, why else would they demand freedom of speech

[Daniel-X]

I didn't realise sweet and sour was just for oriental people either. I enjoy it regularly :)

Ummm @ Africa or the Carribean. No it's just because black people are often associated with chicken a lot and if you haven't heard this stereotype before then you either live under or a rock or are just ignoring it so you can grasp at straws and argue your opinion.

[wendywillow]

Chicken is not just a food for black people if didn't originate from Africa or the Caribbean where sweet and sour is always a oriental food

yeah its mainly fried chicken that's the slur, unless he was being sly using chicken so its not obvious, I think hes a dick but I don't really think he meant it like that - probably eating chicken tonight (if they had fish....then that's another story)

[Amy Jade]

Well said adam, which makes it even more stupid that reece would associate black people and chicken, unless he sees it with his own eyes.

It's a common sterotype to say black people love Chicken though

[Macie Lightfoot]

"the people who acknowledge racism are the true racists" "Ken Morley only said a variant of the n-word" etc

[BB4fan]

We wondered when the race would be brought up just because the the two people fighting happened to be white and black.:sleep:

[bots]

In this particular instance I think there is the possibility that it was meant in a racist way. He said it with the intention of it being derogatory, and as I said before, its a known and well used racial slur

[Macie Lightfoot]

We wondered when the race would be brought up just because the the two people fighting happened to be white and black.:sleep:

so would the whole house feel unsafe if it was, say, Megan instead of Tiffany?

I know this it's pointless to even engage in this but why not.

[mizzy25]

Im pmsl @ this thread, never once have I heard that a black woman wanting a bit of chicken cud actualy be racist???/ wtf???? I don't even like John either

[Amy Jade]

[Northern Monkey]

I think he was just saying that the only reason she wanted to sort things out with everybody was because she was hungry.Most likely they were having chicken for tea.If they were'nt then yeah i can see it being racist.

Its a known slur, and he was being derogatory in his tone, here is another example ....

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/may/22/sergio-garcia-remark-tiger-woods-row

Sergio García's ongoing spat with Tiger Woods took an unwelcome turn on Tuesday night, when the Spaniard made what could be interpreted as a racist remark about his opponent.

The Spaniard was on stage at the European Tour's gala players' awards dinner, where he was questioned by the Golf Channel's Steve Sands. García, who has been embroiled in verbal battles with Woods since the Players Championship at Sawgrass this month, was asked in jest if he would have the American round for dinner one night during the upcoming US Open. "We will have him round every night," García said. "We will serve fried chicken."

I just have a hard time believing that John would be so stupid to make a racist comment on TV.I honestly think it more likely they were actually having chicken for tea.

[Livia]

Oh God, I had no idea... I've been eating chicken all this time. I had no idea it was just for black people.

[Vicky.]

Either way John behaved appallingly tonight. Like really badly.

I agree with most of what you say..but I don't think it was a racial slur. I think it was just a choice of food because obviously Tiff doesn't cook or do anything in the kitchen...

Hate John though...self righteous twat.
