Daniella's "nobody feels safe here! She needs to get out. I don't feel safe."

Tiff didn't get physical or anything. There have literally been no signs of that happening.

She might as well have said, "that black girl is aggressive!"

What a leathery old hag she is.
:nono:

But DID she say "that black girl is aggressive"? No she didn't ,so stop making stuff up that didn't happen .........Tiffany has made her money out of being a vile, BULLYING bitch ,so hardly the poor little woman she is being portrayed by some

Specifically, Tiff being African-American; there comes with that hyphenated combo several stereotypes that aren't as prevalent with regards to black English people.

For instance, the unspoken fear that seemed to express anxieties regarding the possibility of Tiff turning "ghetto" and beating the sh*t out of someone.

Tiff doesn't take sh*t, but she showed no sign of getting physical.

I mean, think about it. An African-American girl from Utica is yelling, and everyone is suddenly expressing concerns for physical safety?

I'm not saying that they sat around and spouted off the "n-word," or that they even referred to her as "ghetto," or anything like that.

Rather, I'm pointing out the context of what they said and how the words were pretty racially packed.

At one point it did look like she physically went for Angie, when Angie was saying I cant take this anymore, stop all the shouting, and Tiffany appeared to be held back by a couple of the housemates.

I think it's a long stretch to say the words were racially packed, and in a way those crying racism over the unfortunate events on last nights show are the ones who are singling out Tiffany's colour, no one else is or seemed to be on the show. To me it came across as people feeling 'this bitch is crazy' which had nothing to do with her skin and more to do with her behaviour. Race does not excuse bad behaviour and she was pretty poor in how she handled things after the misunderstanding. This show isn't in North America and culturally the UK is different. I had never heard of the chicken thing for instance and its quite possible neither has the person who said she wanted a plate of chicken in the house, which was what has been said they were having for dinner.

Tiffany was being aggressive, it's absurd that people who didn't like that are now suddenly being branded racist.

:thumbs:

People think it's racist because, well stereotypically black people eat chicken, and who just eats chicken for dinner? He could've said chicken pasta, chicken tonight, chicken soup, chicken noodles... But he just said chicken. If she was Indian and he said she only wants them for their vindaloos or poppadoms then people would blow up because of the racist connotations.

Enough of the racism accusations already. It is R I D I C U L O U S.

Daniela's childish behavior is racist. Just like that idiot from S club and the Jaded one.
Denying it doesn't make it go away, it exacerbates the situation. But maybe that's the goal.

But it is about her color.

It happens way too often on BB, waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too often and the serial deniers come out in full force to provoke and defend their insecure racist little ways. Your post aside.

It is not a coincidence that people of color go out almost as soon as they are up for eviction in the BB house.

Rare is the BB contestent usually male that survives. Wait till the racists figure out that Steph' has black ancestry and watch their views change. They'll say they knew already.

It is also not a coincidence that people of color are viewed as problems so very often in this house too. Especially when equally "problematic" H/M's that don't have this distinction are allowed to be individuals with all their foibles.

Go through all the last CBB's and BB's check out the survival rates.
The racists will use this to justify their delusions that people of color are the problem.
