Ok, Gavin. For the last time....(takes deep breath), while doing the shopping list, Marcus expressed his irritation at Sree's slow calculations, Sree instantly( and a little aggresively) started shouting at Marcus, "what is 13x13?", his usual, brainless, pointless and insulting answer to everything, Marcus then repeated it back to Sree parrot fashion, not because he was being racist he was just hacked off with Sree's pathetic childish behaviour. Sree then accused Marcus of accusing his culture!! To be a rascist, Marcus would surely have to hate the Indian race as a whole, which I do not for one moment believe to be true. As for threatening Sree on the outside, Marcus was making the point that Sree was acting in a way that he would never do in the outside world as it would get him into a lot of trouble.
End of . Please dignify my post with a response.
Oh finally! A voice of reason on this terrible thread!

you're right roller.... although he was being aggressive and involving himself in that idiots little game. plus marcus can't accept that he can get it wrong sometimes. that's my prob with him. but writing a complaint is just plain silly- doesn't merit that kind of action at all

Rollerball-Rocco 09-07-2009 03:39 PM

Come on Gavin I'm waiting.

I don't think that Marcus is racist atall: remember Siavash is Iranian and one of Marcus's best friends...........plus Noirin certainly LOOKS mixed race................Marcus is always about FAIRNESS, witness his reasoning with the explosive Noirin last night..................I doubt he has a racist bone in his body.
Sree wasa not a good representative of Indian culture anyway....he bends over backwards (literally) to be WESTERN.

Marcus coudl have shown his frustration in many other ways.

Instead, the first thing he does is immitate a foreign accent, which is disgusting.

If you were working in a professional place, and immitated someone's accent in an aggressive manner, you would be sacked. Simple as that. Especially when you show racial intention.

I could go on such a rant i'd be banned for being racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely you complained regarding the hostility showed toward Freddy, when the majority of individuals within the house imitated his accent then? You're in all honesty the most intellectually lacking individual i've ever seen, perhaps you could visit the great outdoors sometime.

deeva 09-07-2009 03:58 PM

I have worked for American companies for years..


My co-workers are forever taking the piss out of my accent and mimicking me. I think its hilarious.



The world is in danger of disappearing up the arse of political correctness. :rolleyes:

He was simply mimicing Sree's voice in the heat of an argument. Not disgusting. No rascist intention. They are NOT at work, they are contestants in a TV show. Charlie would have been sacked for throwing a fellow employee into a swimming pool while "working in a professional place"
OK?

BB is dead now due to no live feed.

Ratings indicate that with just 2 million people watching.
