And if you want to find people desperate to be offended by something, I'd look closer to home.

Don't see much point in the two of us engaging in any futher conversation on the issue, I don't see much chance of a common ground being reached. :)

No speaking up for White people, this is a thread for attacking White people.

Jo, Ife and Rachel were practically invisible in the edit and when they were shown they were just shown as quiet, nice, friendly girls. Yet they were all evicted over much more divisive charatcers :shrug:

And you think White House mates haven't been ?.....sorry, but you dream.....I don't have so many examples cause i don't hang on so much to those old previous shows....but two that spring to mind who were likeable and funny and came across as nice housemate and were evicted really early were the Eastnders actors who played Heather Trott and Sonia Jackson.

If you gen believe the show is so racist then why do you still support such bigotry ? Be like me watching a Chubby Brown DVD, ain't ever gonna happen

Well only one other person responded (and nowhere near as dramatically either) so it can't have been that provocative can it? Maybe you were just looking for an argument, yes I think that's it :think:

LOL I knew that was coming. It's a predictable but entirely false statement I'm afraid. Believe it or not it actually takes a lot for me to be offended, and anyone who knows me that well would vouch for that - I wouldn't constantly defend the boundaries of comedy if I was easily offended. I don't find the inequality that minorities often experience in reality TV offensive, I find it disappointing. There's a difference.

I could have told you that before you even quoted my first post, but sure, I agree.

It is not attacking white people, we are just stating what we have been seeing for the last 16 years.

I am white too so..

Yes but of course there are going to be white people evicted unjustly when 90% of the cast is white every year anyway? :shrug:

I am....I think this reverse racism is very offensive and would never be allowed if it was the other way round.

Jack_ 06-02-2016 03:54 PM

NOT 'reverse racism' omg

Samm 06-02-2016 03:55 PM

oh @ people saying it's because they pick the aggressive black females are we all forgetting half a year ago when Adjoa was evicted first and booed for no reason and she was probably one of the most innocent hms in recent times

Reverse racism DOES exist but this topic has nothing to do with it :shrug:

Rachel Ifon's eviction was awful - she got an invisible edit but when they did show her she came across as a sweet, fun - loving girl - being evicted over John James and Dave was tragic and is still one of my least favourite evictions because of the nasty crowd treating her so awfully when shed done nothing to deserve it put me off the show, I watched only a few episodes after she left and quit altogether when Corin went.

Yeah BB are partly responsible for casting black girl stereotypes... but like I said earlier it still doesn't account for why people like Alison, Adele, Anouska, Jo, Ife, Rachel, Rachael, Zoe, Adjoa etc. were all evicted and mostly heavily booed when they were neither 'aggressive' nor 'sassy' or w/e is classed as a stereotypical black girl.

Well that's totally incorrect and frankly, out of order ...not that colour is the only thing that separates peoples culture anyway !! But this year we had Winston and Tiffany who were Black...we had Nancy who was Italian...Jeremy who was Irish...we had Jonathan and Kristina are Russain....we had 4 Americans, 2 gay guys and Gemma, who came from a planet all of her own.
Our country is diverse and accepting ...and people who aren't and people who think we aren't are a dying breed, thank god....in my opinion you are wrong but I believe that you think you are right......must be a terrible weight to carry around

Do you realise that nationality, sexuality and personality are all completely different from race? :conf:

Be pedantic if you want, be my guest ....I'm proving how diverse the show is and how many cultures there are involved...race is not divided into two groups, only black and white...and people who think like that are people who only think in black and white.

You're completely changing the topic of discussion here so I have no clue what to respond.

What does this have to do with a black woman never winning this show?

It's not a thread attacking white people, it's just a thread pointing out how white Housemates get away with more than what black Housemates can, and the Asian Housemates are a rare find on Ch5's BB's to even discuss their statistics.

If Stephanie had've been black in this series do you think that she would've bagged 2nd place with her behaviour? I highly doubt it, I do think she might've made the final due to the production loving her, but she would've probably been the first out in the final.
