Americans on BBUK, i've just noticed...
 
I've just noticed that the only Americans that have ever been put into BBUK are all black men. Darnell, Cairon, and now whatshisname from last night.

Coincidence? It seems like one of the "types" they look for on BBUK casting is American Black Male.

...and they were all born in the UK but raised in America and are now back in the UK :s

What difference does that make? :conf:

LaLaLand 06-06-2012 01:57 PM

Was Cairon an ex-con? In that case they were all involved in crime in the States too.

Coincidence?

Adam from last night and Isaac from 2009.

Note: Isaac was the only full fledged USA housemate in BBUK 2009.

It's just strange that out of all the Americans that have auditioned for the show they only cast black males.

Me. I Am Salman 06-06-2012 01:58 PM

Richard's from Canada.. if that counts

That definitely doesn't count.

Maybe they were just the most interesting, it's not like they've had enough of them to say that it's some sort of certain stereotype they're looking for.

MTVN 06-06-2012 02:00 PM

I don't think it's that strange at all :shrug:

lostalex 06-06-2012 02:00 PM

You might make a small case for Mario from BB11 too...

Marsh. 06-06-2012 02:00 PM

Maybe the black ex cons are the only ones worth putting in out of all the Americans that apply. There might not be all that many Americans that apply anyway, certainly not enough to make this a big deal.

Smithy 06-06-2012 02:06 PM

coz the rest of americans are boring obv

alex_front2 06-06-2012 02:07 PM

I think there's an agenda ie pushing the ex-gangster black guy from LA.

Let's be honest the Peckham Boys look like choir boys compared to the Crips, Bloods etc

Stu 06-06-2012 02:11 PM

The above post is teeming with shit.

armand.kay 06-06-2012 02:12 PM

They should cast black American females (preferably ghetto). :D

InOne 06-06-2012 02:13 PM

I was wondering if he was a Crip with the colours he was wearing in his VT

Nonsense.

Maybe White Americans are boring?

SoBig 06-06-2012 06:52 PM

They are looking to fill a stereotype obviously.

Jords 06-06-2012 06:53 PM

Why did I laugh at you listing Darnell first?

Patrick 06-06-2012 06:54 PM

Isaac is one of the greatest housemates of all time.
