He physically typed out the words and chose to press send. It is inexcusable in every context, if you're saying the guy on the other side could have been just as terrible then fair. But you're not saying that, you're saying Marc may be forgiven giving a very specific context and that is not okay. They are either both disgusting or Marc alone was disgusting, there is proof for the latter.

I'm not going to defend Marc for his tweets because they were out of order but is saying someone looks Chinese really racist? If anything it xenophobia

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you misunderstood

"squinty eyed fool" sounds pretty racist to me

Ok stop getting you knickers in a twist,didn't even see that one,Christ!!!

dear god where do you start with a post like that. :facepalm:

:bored: what a t***

Is squinty eyed racist,:shrug:squinty eye means just that,a squinty eye

it sounds to me that in the tweet you concede it hasn't been proven..and in the second say the tweet is proof enough..that seems a contradiction to me..

but my 28 year old friend here so you are on your own..i'm going to share some banter

considering he said the person looked chinese right before he called them a squinty eyed fool...yeah i'd say it is pretty racist :laugh: if he called them that without the chinese bit it wouldn't be so bad but...really?

Well, the "that looks chinese" part directly before it looks pretty bad.

It's people who think that's comments means Chinese people who are racist

Okay. No, sorry, i understand. I meant that if there was proof that a near 30 year old Marc was good friends with this teen looking boy, I would agree that it would probably lack a malicious intent. But my point was that this will never be the case. Marc sent the tweet to the stranger to be as cruel as he possibly could in 140 characters.

yes it is, especially when said in the 'aggressive' context of the tweet

Marc mentioned Chinese people though. :joker:

I cant be arsed with the twitter wars anymore ,some were years ago,I am not here to play God,I will judge Marc as I see him now, he's ok imo,not perfect,but better than some.

I just don't get how we come to the point from one tweet that Marc is racist despite him saying he loves mixed race woman

This from Marq. " ur a skinny ugly **** that looks chinese u squinty eyed fool! Get off my page, stop following me & try make friens elsewhere!"

Great banter.

..:love:..

Are you being serious?

That doesn't excuse anything:facepalm:

Not saying he's a full blown racist but that tweet was over the line and i'm saying this AS a Marc fan.

Marq going this Friday for sure. Only BB/5 can save him now.

And where have I said it excused what he said? I'm not her for being accused of saying something that I clearly never said

Let's hope so :clap1:

And you have not, not condoned it either.

Yeah, I don't think Marc is racist but that tweet was ridiculous. Likewise, I don't think Danny is homophobic.

Maybe you refused to read the comment where I said I'm not going to stick p for these comments

First rational post in a while. The tweets are inexcusably disgusting, the accusations are probably a bit OTT.

OK. Sorry. So you agree that on this occasion. Marc was a dick. Well said

They are out of order and he shouldn't have said them but that doesn't change anything for me

:cheer2:

Is that because you don't judge people on what they do before the show or because you find Marc's 'overstepping the line on occasion' attitude endearing?.. Or something else (genuine question).

.

Yup.

And I think twitter should just fall down a well.

this

..yep, in terms of BB and housemates I think it should..(and exes in this case who are talking about their time in the house while housemates are still there..)... because I think that we pretty much all know from characters in the house, that their Twitters are not going to be great...but haven't we seen not great from most of them already but people will find things to like in housemates anyway because that's one of the main points of the show... so really what is the point in looking at and looking for stuff with them outside of the house because that's not judging a housemate in a show, it's judging their lives completely and that should never be what it's about...

As a housemate I'll judge Marc on the show however that vile language is very disappointing to have come from the person I'm backing to win. Perhaps he's worked on himself since back then but those are not ok things to say.

I'd also be shocked if someone else wrote them, they do have consistent spelling and language structure and they've been on his account for 2 years. He more than likely wrote them. Even as a response to a nasty troll racism and rape threats are not cool. He's smart, you'd have thought he'd know how to handle trolls.

Marc fans think they live in Oceania working hard and devotedly for minilove & minitru.
