Oh ok well if he did say that then yeah that's pretty racist

But the problem is that in a house of 16 people I find it very hard to believe that Tiffany is the only lazy one.

Putting any racism aside for a moment.....do you really believe that John has behaved better than Winston?

Winston simply gave his opinion when forced into it by BB. He was completely respectful. John has proved himself to be a vile and crual person who seems to take delight in ostracising people.
I could understand John reaction to Winstons opinions because he is a gay man and it was personally offensive to him.

It's not always a race card LT, Racism does actually exist. That comment from John sounded a bit dodgy to me

If they'd been talking to me and said "her next plate of bagels" would I have been screaming racism? No.

Is eating bagels a well known racial stereotype?

I'm Jewish, bagels and Jewish... it's about as racially stereotypical as the Chicken thing.

BB UK is one of the most racist programs out there. They ALWAYS come for the black women. I was utterly disgusted with the way the entire house turned on Tiffany

Everyone turned on Tiffany because she was acting like an insensitive idiot. Especially after she knew the truth. I strongly disagree that BB is racist in anyway and frankly I'm bored STIFF with the suggestion that it is.

But, over and over again chicken has been used as a racial slur. I know it seems ludicrous given it's an every day item, but there it is. See, everything about racist remarks is about the intention when used in my opinion, and less to do with the words themselves.

yeah I agree with that but tbf if they were actually eating chicken for dinner then it probably wasn't in this case

Any excuse.Any time there is a person who is not white in the house somebody screams "racist!" When infact there have been very few cases of racism in there.
People have their hand in their pocket on that racism card every time they watch just looking for any slight reason that it might be acceptable to pull it out.

Anyone that sees eating chicken is a racial slur does not understand racism.As a South African ...trust me ...that does not even come on the radar when it comes to racial slurs

being a bit dodgy doesn't warrant being accused of racism though, especially these days where being accused of racism is basically worse than being called a pedophile. it's like saying... oh that guy holding a kid looks a bit dodgy, he might be her father, but even so, let's just accuse him of being a pedophile just in case!
