I wonder if Charley would have been thrown out if she said the word to a fellow black housemate? I get called a Paddy on a regular basis here, but that's never deemed unacceptable. When I could actually take offence to it. |

Of course not, now I'm not racist by any stretch of the imagination. But in a predominantly white multi cultural country, white people will always draw a short straw. |
What stinks is that if charley had of said White Trash to emily nothing would of happened!!

My comparison to racist jokes explains this. If Chris Rock and Bernard Manning tell the same joke then Chris Rock can get away with it. In my post I point out that it's a double standard. I dont celebrate the use of the word i just feel that a white person who I'd never met before would be taking a big risk if they used that word in front of me.

Well done to Channel 4, it shows they've learnt although I was enjoying Emily but at the end of the day she shouldn't have said what she said.
Will this be shown on the highlights or is it to risque? |

I'm willing to debate it, too. She obviously didn't say it with malicious intent. It's not as if she had any reason to. Big Brother are just taking all pre-cautions as their reputation is in massive danger since CBB. It's just becoming ridiculous. |

What makes me laugh is that there removing contestants in a game show for racism. But where are people to shut down the BNP and white supremicy gangs...
But nope to much to focus on about Evil-Emily and her offensive one woman battle against people of ethnicity different to her. *please not the sarcasm of the last comment* |

You could all read these articles on Wikipedia and see that this argument has been going on for years and will not be settled any time soon it seems:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/***** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloured Yeah I know they're longer than 3 lines so some may not bother reading them, but at least it would stop these arguments going round and round on a constant basis. |

Amy was saying that she didn't think Emily meant it in an offensive way. That, in no way, makes her a supporter of racism.:rolleyes: |
