I absolutely love how you completely gloss over certain parts of my responses. Nothing to say about the countless times white housemates are likened without tons and tons of expansion?

And I've already expanded beyond sex and skin colour. It might have been quite a general overview, but that's because it's early days. The witty lines she comes out with combined with the bubbly, quirky yet seemingly-strong minded attitude reminds me of Shievonne. I find them both humorous in similar ways. I'm sure I'd find more comparisons with other housemates with similar traits, but Sheivonne is more fresh in my mind. I've explained no less than, as I've said,most of the white housemate comparisons. You've only taken offence because they're black. You're the one making race an issue.

If their only similar I see was skin colour, why would Toya only remind of of early Shievonne? Surely, she'd remind me of Shievonne the whole time? Surely, she'd remind me of every single black housemate ever to step foot in the house? How come I'm not comparing her to Pauline? Well, because she doesn't remind me anything of her. Shocking, I know. :o

But I don't expect anything to change, you've got something to be outraged and all morally righteous about, even if you're completely insulting the true meaning of the word. Carry on, love. :)

She is great so far

Like I said (which you seem to have glossed over, ironically enough), your point about white comparisons is a dumb one, and I can't comment on a the white housemate comparison thread you brought up because I haven't seen it myself and can't find it. I found a housemate LOOKALIKE thread from 5 June, however. If that's what you were getting at, lol.

But even in the quite early days they're not that much alike. Shievonne in her early weeks was a mama bear and Toya's been a fierce feminist with metaphors about weaves and such. I don't think Shievonne even had any notable lines until she went insane. Again, I only found a comparison thread on HM lookalikes, and those don't need explanations since it's about looks.

and if you actually think "well, I didn't compare Toya to any other black HMs so I wasn't being racist!" is a valid excuse, you really need to reevaluate yourself. Racism isn't all or none.
