Dylan himself had already nominated Trish just the previous week so what he was saying was a load of BS, he wasn't even playing by his own rules and he's trying to hoodwink Trish into thinking he was

I actually wish BB would play his previous nominations now ,to show how stupid and hypocritical he is .

yes I would just like to here a full explanation first of why Dylan's first point of call was to say such a thing..?

You're the closed-minded one. I can see it from Dylan's point of view. Henry grew up in the Cotswolds. I'm from the most deprived part of England so our experiences as gay people wouldn't have been the same. "Little group" you know nothing about my friends so keep your mouth shut.

By "little group" I meant if you were in the BB house in a group of random LGBT people, i wasn't claiming to know you or your friends, I was simply responding to stuff you'd just posted here when you said you wouldn't nominate other LGBT people...... Also this is a public forum I won't be "keeping my mouth shut"

:nono::nono::nono:

True. I appreciate the sub-cultural nuances (probably more than most on this thread) but still. No-one’s entitled to be in the house indefinitely just because of shared skin colour.

Joke or not, that’s exactly what the guy was doing.

He didn't care about race when he targeted Trish in the cooking situation or the ant task ..hmm funny that :whistle: . He only cares about himself !.

that may be true, but his own guilt does not mean he is 'fair game' to receive the same treatment

I'm sure you have plenty of friends with that attitude :umm2: .

Unfortunately a lot of black men only want that kind of treatment to be applied to black people as a whole when they’re involved. A lot of black men do not have other black people’s backs when they’re not directly involved.

Yeah Dylan was a massive hypocrite, who had a bad temper.

It's actual unfortunate how much he fell from grace ,I thought he was a decent guy in the early weeks. Then the moment Zak left....he switched:bored: .

I liked his reaction when he got evicted though ,when they shouted " Get Dylan out" , and he was like " ok I'm coming " lol . I think he knew he messed up ,but his ego was still bruised.

Dylan’s just that kind of guy.

The guy’s mixed race anyway. Personal racial affiliation is up to him (some mixed-race people see themselves as black, others just see themselves as mixed) but that kind of community affiliation he’s expecting/feels entitled to isn’t an inborn unanimous entitlement. As far as a lot of people are concerned mixed-race (black-and-white mixed) are just that if they’re not even up to 3/4 black (as far as you can tell; go back far enough and you’ll see most people are mixed with a little something). A lot of black men love, love, love to throw the black women who defend them thanklessly in mixed spaces under the ’bus and a lot of them aren’t trying to even regard their fellow males as worth a dime (sometimes even disqualifying for jobs at the expense of their white and Asian counterparts when they’re the most qualified and competent in the room) so if they’re not getting half-fair/decent (let-alone preferential) treatment, why should Dylan who’s only mixed race? He ain’t even black like that.

A lot of men of colour who have some of these mindsets taken to another level are their own worst enemy.

It sounds a little racist tbh.

Kyle from one of the BBUSA years got called KKKyle by the public for suggesting something similar to your hypothetical scenario.

People's friends can be whoever they want imo.

Personally speaking people should never make friends just to tick a box, imo that's probably more prejudiced.

It's a racist comment from him.

If he himself has suffered racism then I do feel sorry for him on that, but he shouldn't imo be trying to play a gameshow with racist ideology.

Less-so racist and more entitled, Mock. I don’t really believe in reverse-racism (discrimination/prejudice but not true societal racism) but yeah. It wasn’t a smart comment.

On the topic of alleged racism, I hate black people’s negative racial experiences being minimised and there’s a huge amount of cultural gaslighting and ignorance that a lot of people are guilty of (which absolutely needs to be addressed and stamped out) but I just think that some or those experiences have contributed to a lot of black people having a more cynical attitude towards the average white person than they need to, because they’re so used to seeing white people as inherently racist. So a lot of clannish stick-together-at-all-costs tendencies come from that.

That's what I thought Dylan was referring to in his rant. Nothing else.

Imo it's a bit of both entitlement and prejudice.

At least his gameplan was like that, obviously irl I don't know the guy, but hopefully he doesn't think that all black people should just stick together because of the colour of their skin.

Personality should be coming into play.

Black people don’t always extend mercy and stick with each other anyway (tribalism for one thing can be a huge issue) and like I said that’s with people who are fully black. When you’re literally half and half you can’t expect black people to automatically see and treat you as exactly the same. Like you say it’s more about personalities and worth as housemates than the colour of their skin anyway. If you’re in, you’re in and if you’re booted out you’re out. Whether you’re black, white, yellow or purple. It’s not about that.

Do Mixed race communities still face a lot of prejudice?

I knew it was bad back in my School days, but that was nearly a decade ago now, which makes me feel pretty old.:laugh:

What a ridiculous thing to say.

If I didn’t get along with the person, regardless of sexuality, I’d nominate them.
