I hope I'm not racist...

[Rachelll]

Am I racist? I don't understand half of the housemates. It's really hard to understand the majority of them.

[yoshi8]

That means you are racist as you will not bend your ear to understand a different accent.

Sorry to say it.

[Sam!]

Your not racist for not being understand them no.

[Annie]

I cant either so if your racist then so am I.

:wink:

[Tom4784]

Nah I wouldn't say so, It's just a case that you haven't got a good ear for accents I think.

What a load of shitt!

[Rachelll]

I do try... I just find it hard to make out what they're saying.

[\PJ/]

Alot of people are saying this,i can understand them fine.

[Novo]

Hardly difficult to understand are they

They all can speak english

[Tom]

I can't atm either (well some of, can still make out what they're saying but not word for word) but we'll get used to it. I suppose we can apply the BB8 twins here, on day 1 they looked identical and couldn't tell them apart by about week 5. By the end they looked nothing like each other. See where I'm going with that?

And I don't mean this in a racist way or anything but this years series is like an ethnic minorities club.

[bronaaaa]

I don't think it makes you rascit, some are difficult to understand but in time you will get used to the accents - my french teachers french and at the start of the year she may as well have been speaking french her accent was that strong but it's fine now

[Marc]

Your not racist at all. Its not your fault that you haven't travelled the world and got to understand different languages and accents... don't worry. If anyone says you are a racist they are just melodramatics and are ignorant (even though they may think the same about us) to the fact that not everyone can understand other dialects and accents. Give it some time though and you'll be understand more clearer.

[InsertNameHere]

what a stupid bloody thread, youre only racist if you hate the ppl for their skin color, country, accent.

Totally! Diversity in races etc has went too far. If you look at the ratio's of Britain, its nothing like that at all.

Me too, I think it just shows that racism can come in many forms. One is just not being bothered to listen to someone because their accent is different to yours.

I can't understand strong Liverpool/Geordie/Scottish accents that well. Am I racist to those?

[\PJ/]

I do agree with Tom on his last comment.

Sorry, but not being able to understand someone is hardly rasist. :puzzled:
Some people can take strong accents others can't.

[30stone]

This is from not understanding someone, if you disliked them because you couldnt understand them or somthing it would be different, but if it is as simple as not understanding someones accent, of course your not, don't worry.


As for yoshi8, that was uncalled for, how do you know he isn't? Its early days and given some housemates are hard to understand.

I would say a definite strong prejudice at least.

What??

I am assuming that was a joke.

Just because you have difficulty understanding someone doesn't mean you are racist.

Racist would be insulting, discriminating or other negative act against someone based on their ethnicity.

Exactly.
I have a Liverpudlian accent, but a very weak one. My friends have strong ones and when I first met a few I had to listen very carefully to make out what they were saying, but I can totally understand them now.

Like I said racism than take my insidious forms. One being not bothered to even try and understand someone because of their accent.

If you can't understand yourself you need medical help.

No.

Seriously, mate, I'm not being mean or anything, but you don't know what you're chatting about. You're talking a load of tosh. Years back we had a test were the woman was on a tape speaking the questions and nobody could understand her. That wasn't racist. It's not peoples fault they can't understand accents.

Now that's a bit racist.

The racism row was two years ago, if they'd thrown 'a load of immigrants in' then surely they would have done it in BB8.

No they didn't. It was some Exam Board.

Wth are you on about? BNP talk? BNP talk would be this:


I don't think it's racist at all. They shouldn't be in the house. British BB house places for British people.

You know nothing about racism or politics. Your opinions are stupid. Go type Ziggy into Google or something, it would save us having to read the rubbish you're typing.

[Kore]

to the OP. your not racist..

[Tom4784]

Ignore Yoshi people he's obviously baiting. Don't feed the troll, Racism is about hate.

On the topic at hand.

I was born deaf and have a below average hearing ability does that make me rascist and ignorant to EVERYTHING because I can't make myself hear better? Not the best example but still. As Marc, tom and others have said, Rachell and other members are probably not familiar with some foreign accents. Hardly rascist.

[Slezer]

"DERE NOT BWITISH ENUFF ENNIT"

Idiots...


I honestly dont get how you cant understand them. They're speaking English and it's not like any of them have really strong accents except for Sree maybe but I can understand him just fine.

I think you mean non British. Say if it was made up of English, Northern irish and Scots, I doubt you'd be saying that the Scots and N.Irish shouldn't be in it.

How can they p**s you off? They're just like us except from a different country. Would you be happy if you entered say BB Poland or something and pople were p**sed off you were in their version of Big Brother?

I think a warning is needed here..

[springnow]

i also deaf , rachell you are not racist,

Who do you think you are 'i think a warning is needed here' :rolleyes: im telling you how i feel if you dont like it you can piss off to dont reply dont try and make me argue foolish boy!
Exactly a you say there is lots of other versions of BB for diferen countrys why not put them in there!
Im not racist but there is too many non english people in the BB house its starting to look alot like the UK is self..

[Wildcat!]

Accents have nothing to do with race does it?

I couldnt never understan what Amanda and Sam were saying, half of what rebecca use to say, and Jennie from BB7.
This year, I can understand them better, not everyone though. The hardest one is Rodrigo1

Okay, so Rodrigo (Brazilian), Beinazir (Pakistani), Siavash (Iranian), Sree (Indian, though I believe he lives in the UK, might even have been born here...), Angel (Russian), Noirin (Irish) and Cairon (American).

What do they have in common other than not being English, that pisses you off? Because they're a mix of incredibly different people.

That's still the minority of the House. You have Marcus, Kris, Charlie, Saffia, Sophia, Sophie, Karly, Freddie and Lisa who are all British.

I really struggle to find any logic in what's being said...

If you didn't want an answer, you needn't of posted :rolleyes:

There are 5 people who are from a country were they have their only language, one from Ireland which has a majority of people who speak English and one who's American. :rolleyes:

I'm not foolish. You are, you racist idiot.

[Jen]

This thread makes me uncomfortable.

[30stone]

Same with me Jen im Going to close it now its become out of hand and insults are coming out, OP you are not Racist because you find it diffcult to understand people in the house.
