"She's just a ghetto ****"

[Headie]

Surely this is racist? Do you think she'll get warned?

[ThriceShy]

How is ghetto racist?:shrug:

[Kazanne]

Surely this is racist? Do you think she'll get warned?

She should get thrown out tbh.

[Vicky.]

I just said that to my partner, expecting a warning tbh.

[Jordan.]

She should be warned for her entire behaviour

[warrenhill]

Plenty of white people live in the ghetto....

[TomC]

Yeah how is ghetto racist

[lewis111]

She obvs has some problems too if she reacts like that out of no where
Eject her for her own and everyone safety

[warrenhill]

Why should she be thrown out .....?

Just what BB is all about......a total fruit cake

[ThriceShy]

Ghettos are not reserved for black people. In fact to think so is racist in itself.

[Drew.]

is it racism for saying that about how someone talks? Tiffany did put on that kind of ghetto act when she started shouting at Gemma. Only Megan knows what she meant by it though.

[Jordan.]

[Xtopher]

Eject that mess.

[BB4fan]

No, it isn't racist.

Helen called Aisylene ghetto tons of times and she was white.

[Stevep]

Did she not just say that she was the only one that defended Tiffany when John was saying that she should leave.........and now she's a racist?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Plenty of white people live in the ghetto....

But we know damn well that's not what is meant by ghetto.

[wendywillow]

the world is a ghetto

[reece(:]

It is a prejudice word.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Did she not just say that she was the only one that defended Tiffany when John was saying that she should leave.........and now she's a racist?

Trump claims to have Muslim and Mexican friends...and?

:douf:i hope the pork pie hat aint racist.

[LukeB]

Also... the housemates didn't claim to be scared over Megan but was with Tiffany.. Megan acted worse than Tiffany.

[Firewire]

It was a synonym for black. We know fine well if she had said "black ****" she would've been ejected.

[Vanessa]

She will get a warning, because she was way too aggressive.

[Pete.]

Why do all my casual faves become problematic? Get that warning Megan

[Calderyon]

If she gets warned (which she deserves), Tiffany should be too for the comments she made against Gemma.

[Stevep]

Trump claims to have Muslim and Mexican friends...and?

And she would not have defended her if she was a racist. Simples.

[smudgie]

Don't see it as racist.
But coming from such a common foul mouthed moronic Chav as Megan it was quite jaw dropping.
She needs to take water with it next time she drinks, behaviour like that outside the house can lead to serious trouble for her.

[Jamie89]

It was a synonym for black. We know fine well if she had said "black ****" she would've been ejected.

This is true. It's not about the literal word, it's about the meaning, and most people know what is meant by it. I suppose it depends if Megan knew. And if she HAD said 'black ****', I swear that some people on here would defend her by saying "Well Tiffany IS black so what's the problem, she was just describing her" :rolleyes:

[Tom4784]

It's reaching to say that Megan didn't say that because of racial reasons.

[sungrass]

Trump claims to have Muslim and Mexican friends...and?

She also called Gemma "Trash" and we all know dam know that means "white trash" which is also racist.

[Livia]

No one's been called 'ghetto' more in times in that house than Ashleyne but suddenly it's racist?

[Jamie89]

No one's been called 'ghetto' more in times in that house than Ashleyne but suddenly it's racist?

That was different though. Aisleyne was consistantly referred to as a 'wigger', so there were still racial undertones to her being called it imo.

[Beso]

Also... the housemates didn't claim to be scared over Megan but was with Tiffany.. Megan acted worse than Tiffany.

Oh no she di ant...

[jaxie]

Plenty of white people live in the ghetto....

Plenty of white people eat chicken but there were about 4 threads over it being racist the other day. :shrug:

[reece(:]

She's probably too uneducated to realise the word ghetto is offensive to the black community though.

[Livia]

I'm a little tired of the forensic examination that happens every time a white person says something that was more than likely an offhand comment and nothing to do with race. I don't see calling someone Ghetto is racist, Ghetto is more like an urban cultural movement, isn't it? I don't see any difference in calling Ashleyne Ghetto and calling Tiffany Ghetto.

[cassieparis]

Megan should be warned but I don't think it is necessarily racist but could be construed as such.

If Tiffany called Jemma "Trash" I'm not so sure we would be crying that the missing words relate to Jemma's beginnings or skin color.

[Stevep]

Is Tiffany guilty of fattism?

[Beso]

She's probably too uneducated to realise the word ghetto is offensive to the black community though.
The black community,oh my ****ing god.:umm2:

[zakman440]

She shouldn't have said it, so I'd expect a warning.

[ThriceShy]

Problem is though, she said it in the diary room. A place where you are meant to be able to get things off your chest, and a place where BB can easily choose not to broadcast what you say.

If you warn someone for ranting alone in the diary room then what is the point of the diary room.

[achro]

Everyone rushing to defend "ghetto ****", but "fat ****" was too far?

[MTVN]

My first thought was that it was pretty close to the line but I guess it could be ambiguous

[seanraff07]

Here comes the racist card again :sleep:

[arista]

She should get thrown out tbh.


No
she is earning Viacom/Ch5 /MTV big money


And only 23.

Amazing the last bit of that show

That's fair enough, but some people do see it as a racist thing, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it being discussed.

[Northern Monkey]

*please let it be racist please please

Ghetto is not a racist word as far i know.Not just black people live in Ghettos.
