Yeah, I want to know!!!!

Her parents did a terrible job racism that one, this is what happens when you spoil children and never really discipline them.

Gemlol 28-06-2012 10:03 PM

i know ffs what did adam even do to her, he was spinning her around at a regular speed he wasnt even going that fast. calling him a gorilla was too far.

Jayson 28-06-2012 10:03 PM

She's an idiot for saying it but she clearly didn't mean it in a racist way. BB had to warn her though as they couldn't let her go around thinking it's a harmless thing to say.

KingOfTheMods 28-06-2012 10:03 PM

She might not be a racist but she definitely knew the connotations of what she was saying so that still makes her a nasty piece of work in my book.

Silly girl. I do not think she said it with intent on being racist, although she should have known that the word she used had an offensive meaning behind it to some people.

smeagol 28-06-2012 10:04 PM

racists and bullies are we sure they dont know who the nazis were lol

sily remark gorilla is a gorilla since when does it have to be racist bb threatens to remove her and if she does anything again she will be gone. conor though 100 times worst and nothing. total joke whoever is in charge of this programe

They all got merged it wasn't aimed at you. :)

When BB asked her what she meant by it she had no answer for it then when they asked if she could see how it would be perceived as offensive she again had no answer.

I'm not sure what to think tbh.

SoBig 28-06-2012 10:04 PM

It was definitely racist.

Livia 28-06-2012 10:04 PM

Not racist, just thoughtless and stupid. And a face to face apology, so kudos to her for that. Still don't like her though.

erinp5 28-06-2012 10:04 PM

What Caroline called Adam would not be tolerated on the outside ,why is Caroline protected because she is in the BB house.Bang out of order.

DoM-h 28-06-2012 10:05 PM

Really careless of her. She really could have been kicked out for that. I don't think she meant it in a racist way but neither did Emily BB9 so it could've gone either way.

It's the last thing Big Brother needed now though.

Anyone who knows me say I HATE racist and bully being bandied about,but in this case YES it was racist

Bojangles 28-06-2012 10:06 PM

One conniving bitch.

Brother Leon 28-06-2012 10:06 PM

What is it about middle class girls on BB not understanding what they say could be considered racist by some. Do they really live such sheltered lives?



She isn't racist though just like the one in the Charley incident wasn't. Just very stupid.

THIS^ lol

I understand why BB had to give such a formal warning, as the remark could be construed as racist, but I don't know for sure if it was meant in a racist way. I've called someone a 'gorilla' before.. because they're big.. tall or muscular or whatever.. Sometimes I'll call them a 'bear'.. It doesn't refer to their race at all when I say it. I wouldn't be stupid enough to say it on the telly though and not expect someone to misconstrue it, so even if she didn't mean it in a racist way, she should be smart enough to know how it would come across.

Joe. 28-06-2012 10:07 PM

Ridiculous- for example- remember Dave from BB11, if she'd have called him a gorilla it wouldn't have been called up.

It's like Marcus said back in BB10- BB called him racist because he mimicked Sree's voice, but for example if he mimicked Sophie or Freddie's voice then they wouldn't say anything about it- it is not racist and taken completely taken out of context.

OMG IT WAS BB8 YOU SILLY BILLY

But Emily said the n word which is a whole lot worse, + we had literally just had the Jade Goody racist stuff so it was understandable that she got kicked.

bbfan1991 28-06-2012 10:12 PM

Gwyneth Paltrow got told off on Twitter for saying that she liked the song N*****s in Paris by Jay Z and Kanye West and she was being accused of being racist by some people when the offensive word is in the song title and is sung by two men who happen to be from a culture who would find the word offensive...

Caroline is so thoughtless and insensitive regardless of what she said IMO!

I guess racism is higher up on the list of bigotry than barbaric sexual threats against women.

It hasn't been taken out of context though has it. Anyone who know's where eggs come from are probably aware that racist people have used that as racial slur for hundreds of years. So either she's thick as ****, racist or just a nasty piece of work. I reckon two of those.

Livia 28-06-2012 10:13 PM

Most people with a brain wouldn't say it. Unfortunately Caroline doesn't seem to have a whole brain. I call my little neices monkeys because they're mischievous (little nightmares actually...) but I would never dream of saying that to a black child because it might be misconstrued, even though it wouldn't be meant in that way. Unluckily for Caroline she doesn't have that clutch of tact. Everything that pops into her head shoots out of her mouth without passing through any kind of thought process.
