Jemima did nothing wrong...end of!!

Good post but I don't think you are going to get it by certain posters as they are never wrong and we are not allowed to have opinions.

As far as I could gather, she was talking about her preferences in general. I didn't hear her say she could never find a black man attractive. I would say it had more to do with human nature than racism. I actually wonder if this would have been a talking point had the annoying bitch not made such an issue out of it.

I TOTALLY agree Mrluvaluva :hugesmile:

So if a black guy went on a blind date and was turned down because he is black...that would not be racist?

armand.kay 17-06-2013 11:39 PM

I'm sorry but if someone's race determines how you feel about someone, then you must be a bit racist.

ANYTHING you do against a person of colour is racist.

Didn't you get the memo?

I also think it was Jemima saying that Gina wouldn't go out with white guys that sparked the warning.

However since they were talking about dating and being romantically involved with men then I didn't see anything racist in the argument,only their own personal preferences which they are fully entitled to have.
Really I feel Jemima walked into Gina's trap by saying too much.

Possibly the most ridiculous warning I have seen given to any housemate on BB ever.

Oh trust me - that's coming!

Give it another twenty or so years and the PC nannies will have their Thought Police on every corner.

It's EFFING terrifying actually.

Urgh gina is pure poison she orchestrated that whole scenario out of nothing, there was no malicious intent in the initial statement by jemima.
Gina following her around the house was much more intimidating.

No its not. All asians are so hot is prejudice not racism. Gina could leave the house now with her head held high.

MatthewS 18-06-2013 04:07 AM

She was talking about her 'ideal' guy, and yes, according to big brother, if you answer that question by specifically stating a particular race doesn't generally do it for you, you've breached the rules. It's mind blowing.

ozzyshaggah 18-06-2013 04:59 AM

the warning was nothing more than a pathetic attempt to drum up interest in the show via the morons of the media

BigBrotherfan4ever 18-06-2013 06:33 AM

I think Gina was out of order playing the race card, after all Gemima only stated her preference in the type of guy she likes, but cause Gina felt it was races, so BB had not option but to give Gemima a warning.

The comment objectifies and relegates every single last Asian (a race) on the planet by a single subjective sexualised characteristic. It's is racially predjuiced towards Asian people who widely vary, even racially.

Oh Alex, shut up. Stop twisting things into things they are not.

karezza 18-06-2013 01:02 PM

Does Gina find Eskimos or Australian Aboriginals attractive?

Yayita 18-06-2013 01:03 PM

I admit I missed the nuttiness in this forum...LOL, I see Sampy is still in the middle of them all.

Vicky. 18-06-2013 01:34 PM

Its a fine line I think..if you arent generally attracted to black people then of course its not racist. It is personal taste. It is no different to saying you dont find ginger hair attractive, or that you fancy skinny people rather than muscley ones.

If you would not date a black person just BECAUSE they were black, then you are racist.

Roy Mars III 18-06-2013 01:51 PM

some races are statically hotter than others

CaudleHalbard 18-06-2013 01:52 PM

From my personal observations, I've concluded that many white women find black men appealing (and conversely black men find white women appealing). To the extent that they sometimes end up as spouses/partners.

The converse does not seem to apply, however, and the "white man - black woman" combination is a relative rarity.

Whereas there are plenty of men - especially older men - married to oriental women, but there seems to be very few white women married to oriental men. Who cares? I thought no one, but apparently some people care deeply over who fancies whom and why.

Fish_Fingers 18-06-2013 02:21 PM

Absolutely unbelievable. I was really warming to Gina, and I think Jemima is a total joke who looks like an old sea hag. But, but, but - that warning totally took the biscuit. So she's not attracted to black guys. So the eff what?? Perhaps she's also not attracted to male dwarves, or blokes with severe learning disabilities either. Is that also innappropriate?

Yayita 18-06-2013 02:24 PM

It was a dumb argument and BB got involved just in case and so that the overly sensitive viewers dont start writting letters. I too dont find certain races attractive but I dont consider myself racist. The eye likes what the eye likes and sometimes you just dont like certain features.

Yayita 18-06-2013 02:26 PM

LOL, fish fingers.... Im not sure if you really are a new member but I love your name and avatar :)

BUT....Gina has already said that she doesn't like ANY of the guys in the house.
& racism is NOT a one way street.
