And she would not have defended her if she was a racist. Simples.

Don't see it as racist.
But coming from such a common foul mouthed moronic Chav as Megan it was quite jaw dropping.
She needs to take water with it next time she drinks, behaviour like that outside the house can lead to serious trouble for her.

This is true. It's not about the literal word, it's about the meaning, and most people know what is meant by it. I suppose it depends if Megan knew. And if she HAD said 'black ****', I swear that some people on here would defend her by saying "Well Tiffany IS black so what's the problem, she was just describing her" :rolleyes:

It's reaching to say that Megan didn't say that because of racial reasons.

She also called Gemma "Trash" and we all know dam know that means "white trash" which is also racist.

No one's been called 'ghetto' more in times in that house than Ashleyne but suddenly it's racist?

That was different though. Aisleyne was consistantly referred to as a 'wigger', so there were still racial undertones to her being called it imo.

Plenty of white people eat chicken but there were about 4 threads over it being racist the other day. :shrug:

She's probably too uneducated to realise the word ghetto is offensive to the black community though.

Livia 14-01-2016 09:18 PM

I'm a little tired of the forensic examination that happens every time a white person says something that was more than likely an offhand comment and nothing to do with race. I don't see calling someone Ghetto is racist, Ghetto is more like an urban cultural movement, isn't it? I don't see any difference in calling Ashleyne Ghetto and calling Tiffany Ghetto.

cassieparis 14-01-2016 09:23 PM

Megan should be warned but I don't think it is necessarily racist but could be construed as such.

If Tiffany called Jemma "Trash" I'm not so sure we would be crying that the missing words relate to Jemma's beginnings or skin color.

Stevep 14-01-2016 09:26 PM

Is Tiffany guilty of fattism?

The black community,oh my ****ing god.:umm2:

zakman440 14-01-2016 09:29 PM

She shouldn't have said it, so I'd expect a warning.

ThriceShy 14-01-2016 09:35 PM

Problem is though, she said it in the diary room. A place where you are meant to be able to get things off your chest, and a place where BB can easily choose not to broadcast what you say.

If you warn someone for ranting alone in the diary room then what is the point of the diary room.

achro 14-01-2016 09:36 PM

Everyone rushing to defend "ghetto ****", but "fat ****" was too far?

MTVN 14-01-2016 09:37 PM

My first thought was that it was pretty close to the line but I guess it could be ambiguous

seanraff07 14-01-2016 09:39 PM

Here comes the racist card again :sleep:

That's fair enough, but some people do see it as a racist thing, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it being discussed.

Northern Monkey 14-01-2016 10:18 PM

*please let it be racist please please

Ghetto is not a racist word as far i know.Not just black people live in Ghettos.
