Will Marcus' racism get him evicted?

[Gavin]

Do you think Marcus will get evicted due to his racist comments towards Sree?

When he mimicked Sree's accent, is was disgusting.

I felt so strongly against it, that I complained to Ofcom regarding the situation.

I think it was a travesty that he was not ejected from the house and given just a warning.

He even threatened Sree outside of the house, which Alex got ejected for last year.

Will this affect his chances and get him evicted?

[Clockers]

Hope so

[30stone]

lol, its not racist!

The threatening yes he could have possibly, but what he said mimiciming him, no.

And they would have by now so nah they wont.

[Gavin]

Sorry, I accidentally started another thread. Lock the other one!

It was clearly racism.

Imagine if you were working and you talked to another employee like that, mimicking their accent, especially a foreginer.

You'd be sacked instantly.

It's totally unacceptable behaviour.

Rather rude.

But, yes if Marcus is up I definitely think what he did (not Racism!) will get him an extra vote or two.

Yes, but it wasn't racism.

[bettiepage]

He wasn't racist, but people like you who 'over-react' over everything will probably vote him out based on that. Sree gave as good as he got, which is why he's gone, and Marcus is still there.

exactly! Stupid to say that Marcus is a racist.. if he was and had shown it he would of been ejected

[Swayzack]

How can one tell that Marcus Hates everyone with an Indian accent from that one clip...?

[Iceman]

It wasn't racism.

But mocking someone else's accent of the same race is not racism.

Needless to say, Halfwit did not complain about the whole "sonny jim" saga.

However, the only Asian housemate in there was targetted by Marcus. Out of any one in the house, he chose the one person who was Asian.

Sree was obviously very hurt by the comments and said instantly "don't talk in my language".

It's clearly inherent racism, and hopefully Marcus will pay the price.

[floridesucks]

people mimic accents all the time, it's fun, and not even close to being racist. This whole incident reminds me of how kindergarten children would go cry to the teacher because another child called him a name. The whole thing was taken wayyyy out of proportion and honestly shouldn't have even been recognized as anything sinister they way it's been made out to be. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/yayyayyay/bb492.gif

[yodofrodo]

people always mimick other peoples accents, but when they are foreign and a different colour, everyone goes mad . its political correctness gone mad

so what your saying is its perfectly fine to say whatever you want about white british people and perfectly fine to brand the white british people racists if they say anything about anybody from a different race.
have you ever thought you might be a racist for thinking this?

[Swayzack]

He is... It's always the ones that cry foul that have to talk themselves out of being what they really are.

I don't understand your logic. Me suggesting that Marcus is racist, does not mean I'm racist.

It's called a point of view.

The big difference between both circumstances is that Freddie was not offended. Sree was disgusted.

Marcus shouldve been rmeoved

[Gavin]

My letter to Ofcom about Marcus:
To Ofcom,

I am writing to you regarding Big Brother and the behaviour of the 35 year old housemate Marcus Atkin.

On Friday’s edition of Big Brother, he threatened physical violence against the other housemate Sree Dasari. Sree was shaken by the insult, even telling Marcus that he will “call the police” if such an incident does happen.

I am shocked that Big Brother did not remove Marcus from the house for his comments, because it was clearly in breach of the Big Brother rules. Furthermore, last year Alexandra DeGale was removed from the house for a similar situation, therefore suggesting the same action should have been taken on Marcus.

Secondly, Marcus was racially aggravating Sree by mimicking his accent. In our society today, this sort of treatment is completely unacceptable, and it seems Big Brother has not learned from its mistakes from the 2007 race row.

I am disgusted that Big Brother did not take action against Marcus for his racist comments, and I feel his actions were in breach of broadcasting regulations.

I would like a reply regarding this hurtful matter, which has deeply affected my concern for the wellbeing of the housemates in there.

I hope the investigation carried out results in Marcus being thrown out of the house and for Channel 4/Endemol to be fined for their lack of authority.

Ofcom must recieve an unbelievable amount of letters off you!! You seem to complain about everything!

[PaulyJ]

This is why i love BB where else would the British Public be able to discuss this kind of thing.

Ultimitly Racism is about intention not action, and although Marcus's action could of been used by someone intending Racism, i dont think his intention was to be Racist

First they argued, then came anger from Marcus, along with the mimicking of Sree's accent. Sree's accent is very strong and very unusual, i often find myself mimicking his voice whilst i'm sat watching, in a funny way, not a nasty way. Unfortunatly mimicking a foreign accent in a angry fashion reminds people of Racism. It was Not Racism in a million years.

[power2thepeople]

I find it really offensive when people pick and choose what is deemed offensive in society at the expense of other groups and cultures. Ever heard of the Disability Culture? Regardless of whether Halfwit made a complaint or not, I personally found it damn despicable that Sree mocked his dyslexia. Sree thrived on patronising quips, mocking other housemates intelligence with his pathetic mathmatical conundrums thrown into every argument he had. That, coupled with his blatant and shameful mockery of a 'dyslexic student' highlighted just how he feels about disabilities.
You can excuse halfwit's lack of complaint all you want, but mockery of a middle class accent was also a standard in there. Middle class values can be construed as a 'culture'. Where are you drawing your lines here. Or are we only pin-pointing positive race relations as a bone of contention. Despite his foul mouthed tirade at BB, Marcus made very valid points in his reply to BB and the fact they made it very clear his warning was regarding the 'outside' threat, tells me that BB themselves know damn well they are protecting some and excusing the bullying and mockery of others in there. According to your warped logic, Halfwit and his middle-class accent and his dyslexia are fair game to be mocked, purely because he hasn't played his 'culture' cards and screamed victim. I could't disagree more with you

I am absolutely certain he'll get evicted on Friday.

Too many people would have been (rightly) offended by his racial and agressive remarks.

[PaulyJ]

"racially aggravating"

Well technically i suppose he was, i.e mimicking his race's accent being the "Racially" bit and Marcus's anger torward Sree, being the "Aggravating" bit but if Sree had of been Welsh, then the same label could of been placed on the incident, but would that mean Marcus was being angry at Sree because he was Welsh. I think you have to look further into incidents like this because calling Racist to quickly has the same effect as the boy crying wolf and, incidents that are serious abuses can be overlooked. I hope they do not uphold pt 2 of your complaint, but they may well do

1) Just because he didnt complain didnt make Freddie feel any better, on the inside he could feel very hurt, as it is discrimination.

2) Sree tried acting the victim so he would get kicked out.. and he knew that people would find it offensive.

3) Sree was targeted because he was annoying and a twat to marcus, hence why marcus targetted him.

I'm completely against racists.

You calling me a racist has no foundation at all. It's a hugely ridiculous thing to aim at me, when I've said nothing of a racial slur at all.

On the other hand, Marcus mimicked an Asian's person's accent and in the real world such a job, he'd be sacked.

Mimicking anybodys accent is not acceptable behaviour.The person who is doing it should be made to pay a price.This should be taught to our children.Period.

[PaulyJ]

Forget your comparison with work, Businesses have tribunals, and court cases, bad publicity, minority targets to worry about and thus, they are PC at it's worst. You dont have to worry about all that stuff, none of us do. complain about the treatment of Freddie, or Sree's groaping of Noirin, certainly his threat to Sree, but the race card should not be played here.

[uvhater]

I don't think Marcus was being racist, he was just sick of Sree being a ... prat. Still convinced Marcus was jealous of Sree's relationship with Norin. Good sign was that he did stay seated and didn't threaten any violence.

Sree thrived on patronising quips, mocking other housemates intelligence with his pathetic mathmatical conundrums thrown into every argument he had. That, coupled with his blatant and shameful mockery of a 'dyslexic student' highlighted just how he feels about disabilities.
You can excuse halfwit's lack of complaint all you want, but mockery of a middle class accent was also a standard in there. Middle class values can be construed as a 'culture'. Where are you drawing your lines here. Or are we only pin-pointing positive race relations as a bone of contention. Despite his foul mouthed tirade at BB, Marcus made very valid points in his reply to BB and the fact they made it very clear his warning was regarding the 'outside' threat, tells me that BB themselves know damn well they are protecting some and excusing the bullying and mockery of others in there. According to your warped logic, Halfwit and his middle-class accent and his dyslexia are fair game to be mocked, purely because he hasn't played his 'culture' cards and screamed victim. I could't disagree more with you

lets see if gavin the racist replys to you
I'm completely against racists.

You calling me a racist has no foundation at all. It's a hugely ridiculous thing to aim at me, when I've said nothing of a racial slur at all.

On the other hand, Marcus mimicked an Asian's person's accent and in the real world such a job, he'd be sacked.

As would mocking a person's disabilities or any other part of their 'culture', inclusive of class. Please look up the word 'culture' and you will find that it does not consist purely of 'race'. As BB made quite clear.....the points discussed were any intended mockery of a housemates 'culture'. Therefore by definition of the word 'culture' I would say Sree should be picking up his P45. You have still not answered the question posed to you, nor have you justified Sree's despicable behaviour. Because you can't. It's a tunnel vision 'race' issue for you. Hence why some people are regarding you as a racist, by definition of the fact you seem to be protective of this issue alone. Like I said....define the word 'culture' and it may enlighten you as to why some people are making negative comments about your posts.

I think Sree's behaviour at times was disgusting.

I already complained to Ofcom about this.

Mimicking anybodys accent is not acceptable behaviour.The person who is doing it should be made to pay a price.This should be taught to our children.Period.
where have you been
this is being taught to our children that is why it twenty years time english will no longer be the first language of this country, and islam will be the main religion in this multi cultural country this goverment want.
they are feeding it to the new generations through the power of media. and bringing hatred on the white british indigeous, by saying that were racist,lazy,obese,uneducated ect
this goverment calls the bnp racists, and then goes and murders 500,000 innocent iraq's all so they can be the super power of their multi-cultural society.
they are slowly ethnic cleansing the white british indigeous in a way that the new generations cant see.

My letter to Ofcom about Marcus:
To Ofcom,

I am writing to you regarding Big Brother and the behaviour of the 35 year old housemate Marcus Atkin.

On Friday’s edition of Big Brother, he threatened physical violence against the other housemate Sree Dasari. Sree was shaken by the insult, even telling Marcus that he will “call the police” if such an incident does happen.

I am shocked that Big Brother did not remove Marcus from the house for his comments, because it was clearly in breach of the Big Brother rules. Furthermore, last year Alexandra DeGale was removed from the house for a similar situation, therefore suggesting the same action should have been taken on Marcus.

Secondly, Marcus was racially aggravating Sree by mimicking his accent. In our society today, this sort of treatment is completely unacceptable, and it seems Big Brother has not learned from its mistakes from the 2007 race row.

I am disgusted that Big Brother did not take action against Marcus for his racist comments, and I feel his actions were in breach of broadcasting regulations.

I would like a reply regarding this hurtful matter, which has deeply affected my concern for the wellbeing of the housemates in there.

I hope the investigation carried out results in Marcus being thrown out of the house and for Channel 4/Endemol to be fined for their lack of authority.

Gavin

honestly get a life! i am a foreigner people copy my accent, makes me laugh, it's funny. You are just the sort of person that like to complain about anything, we all know the type. I think you need to relax a bit.
Macus will get evicted this week thats true, but not for being a rasist. First he'll get nominated by sheep of the house (predominant group unfortunately) and then ppl will vote him out as they want Halfwit to stay. He's a bit of a swearer too, no to everybody's liking. I am not a big fun of Marcus But rasist? give me a break.
Oh and i absolutely agree with the erson who commented about "dislexia" issue. now that was a disgrace! Hate Shree..

[sl3ptsolong]

Stop throwing the word Racism about like it means something when you bring it up. He was obviously annoyed at sree for who he is not what he is. His race has nothing to do with it.

[spitfire]

A few weeks ago Kris mimicked Charlies accent,is he racist against geordies or is that ok?

If you're angry, why would you immitate someone's accent? What a bizarre thing to do!

When he mimicked Sree's accent, is was disgusting.

I felt so strongly against it, that I complained to Ofcom regarding the situation.

I think it was a travesty that he was not ejected from the house and given just a warning.

He even threatened Sree outside of the house, which Alex got ejected for last year.

Will this affect his chances and get him evicted?

In Marcus' words....Poppycock! Marcus was getting irritated with Sree while the shopping list was being prepared, which resulted in Sree nastily throwing his favourite "what is 13x13" jibe at Marcus, (Siavash and Freddy having already had to put up with this ludricrous/infantile/pointless/insulting attack), Marcus simply threw it back in his face, Sree then instantly raised the stakes by playing the race card. To be a racist you have to assume Marcus hates the Indian race as a whole which I do not for an instance believe to be true, he just got annoyed with Sree, end of. Get a grip.

No, because he was doing it in a jokey tone and they're both friends.

Marcus' was in an aggressive manner, and it says a lot that the first thing he did was mimick Sree's accent out of anything he could have said/done.

I do not want to desent to a political discussion.The point is, there is a lot of bullying going on in schools.Mimicking accents and mannerisms of other children is a very common form of bullying which causes a lot of distress.Race is not an issue here.This behaviour cannot be accepted.

Sree shouting "what is 13x13" in an aggressive tone started it, Marcus merely threw it back at him in parrot fashion, nothing 'bizzare about that.

bullying has always gone on in schools and always will.
but in my day children where never stabbed or shot in school
take the ben kinsella incident, that was never treated as a racial attack but if it was the other way round it would have been.
racist is only aimed at white people, we get the blame for slavery even though it was africa that gave us slavery.
slavery was around in ancient egypt.

Lets go further back in history.60,000 years ago a small group of humans-homo sapiens(probably a few families)
migrated out of Africa and migrated into all continents.This is proven by genetic studies and various other methods.Your genes can be traced back to these few families which migrated out of Africa.When humans came to Europe it was the Neandrethals who were living in Europe.A lot of things have happened since.We are not responsible for that.The aim is to live a productive peacefull harmonious life with all living beings and nature and to protect our Planet.

[Gavin]

I agree with Thriller.

Marcus' antics disgust me. He will be evicted on Friday, I am certain of that.

The Great British Public won't tolerate such behaviour.

However, the only Asian housemate in there was targetted by Marcus. Out of any one in the house, he chose the one person who was Asian.

Siavash is of Asian descent and Marcus is good friends with him?

Noirin is half black and Marcus worships at her feet?

Marcus was good friends with Ciaron before he left?

I suspect your just saying things to be controversial or maybe you have a racist agenda, perhaps your trying to incite a white backlash against an obvious injustice to Marcus?

[emzlou81]

Marcus done nothing wrong, it is so frustrating that you cant have an argument with someone without being called a racist, if it had have been with someone else who was white it wouldnt have been a problem, it was sree that started the race thing he wanted to be noticed and to make people feel sorry for him and he started making out he was hard done by.

some people love to thrive on the skin colour thing, that is why our country is in the state it is in, its frustrating that you can not stand up for yourself without worrying about what you will be labeled as.

the topic starter is saying he has made about 12 complaints to ofcom, i think he should be more concerned about the trees he is using on the environment, if you really need to complain make it about something worthwhile.

all of us our the british public so dont tell us that we wont stand for what marcus done, as you dont speak for the whole british population.

people like you causes the problem by keeping it going and making it out to be something its not.

siavash even said the sree was just playing the race card which he doesnt agree with as it isnt fair on people that are trying to just get on with their lives that come to britain to live. we could live together if people like you and sree didnt take it to the stage of 'feel sorry for me'.

[Blueisthecolour]

This wasn't racism.

Marcus was mocking the "hoity toity" way that Sree seemed to think that asking people multiplication sums - which he'd obviously worked the answer to out in advance - proved that he was more intelligent than anyone else in the house.
Freddie has also been mimicked for his way of speaking.

It was interesting that when Marcus took on Big Brother for accusing him of racism they backed down so fast that it was unbelievable, and were tripping over themselves to deny that they were accusing him of such a thing.
