Ofcom must laugh their head off at the BB complaints every year.

LOL, stupid *****.

So what if the old hag got a warning.

I think it is a waste of time now moaning to ofcom.
However I do think the warning was out of order really, a simple ticking off saying try to be more careful how you word things in future would have sufficed.

Probably would have been the same amount complaining if she didnt get a warning tbh. They cant win.

Mind I do disagree with the warning. I just dont see why people go running to ofcom for every little thing on BB.

Any OFCOM investigation will find that Jemima was rightly warned under the broadcasting rules in GB.
Not liking that she was warned doesn't change this fact:pipe:

Are there really people around still that watch BB and go to Ofcom?

I bet the people who have complained don't even watch the show. They just saw it on the Daily Star front page and went straight to Ofcom to complain, because that's just what they do for a living.

People are very sad.

Jemima's warning should be withdrawn and she should receive an apology from Big Brother.

:nono:

Oh just boot her out 'Sorry Jemima... it's time to go' xo.

Yup. Though I daresay there would be at least the same amount of complaints, or more likely many more..if they hadnt given her a warning :rolleyes:

I reckon it's the exact same people who moan all the time.

I hate Ofcom but the fact the people asking for BB to apoloogise to her for pretty much labelling her a racist ontv im all for it lol.

OFCOM complainers are just one of the many factors that have contributed to Big Brother's demise.

Broadcast racism are also a contributing factor......... :pipe:

Can we confirm these complaints aren't about Jemima being racist.

They are complaints that BB warned Jemima about something that wasn't deemed as racist.

The producers just pissed the public off by warning her for doing **** all.

I'm not surprised people complained. A black girl calling someone else a racist before the "you probably don't date white men" comment was even made. She's made a mockery of genuine racism claims, and the warning was out of order. I don't hold with complaining to Ofcom, but I don't see how else people could show their displeasure.

what jemima said wasn't remotely racist, though it was a bit mindless, but so what, people say silly things all the time.....the other hm claiming it as racism is just disgusting

Sorry but I am in Australia - what the **** is an OFCOM?!?

And yes, Jemima SHOULD receive an apology and a retraction from BB for potentially ruining her life.

She didn't deserve it, that's why. Being branded a racist is no light matter.

Yeah imagine the whole conversation reversed.
No. Really think about it. :nono:

They are an independent regulator of things shown on television, so if people feel something isn't right or shouldn't have been shown then they go to ofcom who investigate the matter and see if the channel was correct for broadcasting it.

Foolish warning. Made a mockery of real race issues and showed Gina for the clueless brat she is.

Yeah, imagine if Gina was discussing her "type", and she said she generally went for Mediterranean types, but not really white blokes. No one would have cared.

Has anyone ever seen the first ever episode of 'wife swop'?....
Watch it, it's very interesting.

Watch it, it's very interesting.

exactly.....people from all races, cultures and all walks of life say far more radical things than that regularly.....Ive watched whole tv studious full of black people say they don't date white people. it didn't bother me, its an individuals choice. Muhammad ali used to say its natural for people to stick to marrying people within their culture, religion, ethnicity. no one said it was racist, it was just his opinion. at worst what jemima said was presumptuous. all gina had to do was say actually youre wrong to assume that about me...instead of attention seeking and playing the race card right from the bottom of the deck....what a snake

That's twice this week I've agreed with you.

Seems BB can't do right for doing wrong,they are still reeling from the 'Jade' incident I think ,and are now overly sensitive.

they've gone from one extreme to another. jade gate was bullying plain and simple. she and her cackling witches used ethnicity as a tool to bully. though we didn't get to see all the footage so who really knows. this wasn't anything like that. we would learn far more about people on this show, if in such situations we let them at least try and work it out for themselves rather than BB coming down heavy. any fool can see this isn't racism.

Interesting. That's a very limited interpretation of their conversation reversed. :suspect:
I haven't the slightest belief that most feigning outrage at Jemima's warning disliked Gina from the off. :idc:
The reverse could have gone on thus:-
I generally go for lighter guys not white, North African or light African American. I like lighter guys but not white. .......... You PROBABLY wouldn't go for a black guy
All said to the only white girl in a black house who Gina would have been guilty of targeting for no other reason than the loudest girl in the house had already picked her out.

Fools ignore racism. :idc:

im the same, what she said wasnt racist and she needs an apology

You are right cassie and there are two sides to every coin and both sides can be victimised.

No idea what you have tried to do here but it doesn't work, you can't just flip the convo and expect it to prove something.
You remove all the connotation and the intonational from the text, added to that you remove the fact it was simply a convenient platform from which to influence the house.

This tbh

If you don't know what I'm trying to do how do you know it hasn't worked? :laugh:
I can just flip the conversation. I just did. You grasped that I see.
The removal of connotation and intonation is your interpretation of the text ... you failed to understand or claim.
What Gina's ambition in the house is to silently listen to someone who doesn't like her speak of her and her approaches to race negatively? Cos the silence earns brownie points pun intended. :wavey:

I agree with the complaints. Imagine getting a warning for that!

This is a step forward imo.

People complaining about false accusations of racism and asking BB to apologise for being over the top/pc/.

I agree that it was over the top-she was stating a preference; it wasn't racism but BB won't say sorry to her because they're too arrogant to admit they were wrong.
