It's stupid because there is no evidence of any racism.
Why do you continue to deny it?

We all know what Danielle said about the bleach.

Its so petty that youre asking for cast iron evidence after everything theyve said and done, but when it is put forward you just ignore it.

I just think it's ludicrous to start claiming that the nastiness directed at Big Brother is racially motivated.

I think there have been a few sneaky comments that could have been misconstrued as mildly racist, but I don't think it was intentional.

I have to say I can see where the three girls are coming from as I find Shilpa highly irritating and she does appear to be very fake (her outrageously exaggerated laugh and the whole "feel sorry for me" thing. I think that the girls just genuinely don't like her and I don't think the question of race has ever come into it. I just think Shilpa is genuinely unlikeable and I find it very hard to watch her without getting exasperated.

My opinions are not racially motivated and I would be disgusted if there were any signs of racism in the house, but I think this is just another case of idiotic members of the British public who need something to complain about, coupled with the media blowing it out of proportion. I think if a white British girl with Shilpa's personality and mannerisms would recieve exactly the same treatment and it would be highly naive to think otherwise.

Just my opinions but I think people are being far too sensitive and too willing to play the race card at the drop of the hat. This is clearly nothing to do with racism.

I didn't read my above post through

1st line - I meant nastiness directed at Shilpa, not Big Brother

The_Hitman 16-01-2007 09:32 PM

Thats all well and good charred nipple, but you are disregarding all the racist comments. However much of a fuss people choose to make about racist comments thats another thing, but the fact is, we are having to choose how much of a fuss we are prepared to make, because the comments have been made.

Im not saying you have to care.

Leona 16-01-2007 09:43 PM

Well said Hitman.!

Sasha 16-01-2007 09:48 PM

OMG this has grown to 13,000 in a day :O

Ella 16-01-2007 09:53 PM

It's aibout time something is being done about the racism, its sickening.
