Did Jemima deserve her warning?
 
IMO, it's possibly one of the worst decisions Big Brothers made. Absolutely ridiculous.

Vicky. 17-06-2013 09:50 PM

Definitely not

And Gina should be ashamed of herself tbh, using something like that as an attempt to garner attention/sympathy. She has obviously never experienced real racism to take something like that so lightly tbh.

Ammi 17-06-2013 09:52 PM

..I think she did, it wasn't racism up until the point she told Gina that she probably wouldn't go for white guys...?....why would she assume that, people see people not colour...that was a racist remark...

xpod8 17-06-2013 09:53 PM

I don't think Jemima deserved that AT ALL, when did personal preference become a race issue?
IMO Gina should be reprimanded for pulling a race issue out of the air

If that was the bit Gina took offense at, I could slightly see her point of view..even though I tink Jemima was backed into a corner after being labelled a racist and was desperately trying to explain what she meant. However she was screaming racism way before that point...

I don't think it was racist, I think it was an incorrect assumption.

BB producers are lame as ****.

karezza 17-06-2013 09:58 PM

I hate Gina. Get the troll out!

thesheriff443 17-06-2013 10:00 PM

it was not racist but I think bb is on high alert this year after what connor got away with last year.

GiRTh 17-06-2013 10:01 PM

Stupid. Making a mockery out of racism.

Tom4784 17-06-2013 10:03 PM

The first bit wasn't since, like she said in the Diary Room, it's just a preference like eye colour or hair colour. I could see why she could have gotten the warning with the white people comment though.

Macie Lightfoot 17-06-2013 10:05 PM

No but this show's been a huge joke for quite some time so

If Jemima said "I go for black guys instead of white guys" nothing would have been said.

I feel bad for Jemima and think Gina is a stupid twat now, dont care if she goes. People who fly these -ism tags about cause so much trouble.

..I agree Vicky but she had her warning for the whole conversation which included what she said about Gina not going for white guys, whether she was manipulated in anyway by Gina or not, she still said it and I think they had to give her a warning....

If she came out with it randomly (the 'you wouldnt like white guys' thing) then I could understand the warning. However she was pretty much backed into a corner by that point after already being labelled racist. I imagine what one does when publicly accused of racism on tv for nothing is panic a bit. Stupid thing to say, but I understand it..

this

The white people comment wasn't even remotely racist. It was an ignorant assumption based on the fact she herself prefers males of her own skin colour (and tbf it seems most people do). End of.

More or less what I wanted to say.

And I agree with GiRTh... it makes a mockery of real racism cases.

very true!

Firewire 17-06-2013 10:17 PM

I don't think she should have been warned. She's clearly not racist and didn't mean it in a racist way.

sampvt 17-06-2013 10:20 PM

Gina is just a twat, playing the race card gets her noticed. Load of tosh. Bad decision on BB,s part but we are coming to expect that kind of crap anyway. The producers are the dregs of tv land, why cant they stop ruining the program with political correctness and leave the race issue out of it.

Marsh. 17-06-2013 10:21 PM

Whether she meant it as a racist remark is not the issue.

But the fact is she said something that could be taken offensively. Had she put her brain into gear before thinking she would have known that.

To make an assumption that Gina wouldn't go for white guys because she is black is ridiculous.

Big Brother wasn't saying Jemima is racist but telling her to watch what she says because what she's saying could be offensive.

That said, I don't agree with Gina throwing the race card in Jemima's face to try and one-up her during a row. That was out of order.

ruiphillips 17-06-2013 10:22 PM

Yes. She is secretly raciest and tonight showed.
