Just saying..
 
Don't know if this has already been mentioned, couldn't watch it BB last night so watched it this morning. Deana done an impression of Conor's accent, basically mocking him then saying 'I can't even understand you.'

Now.. I'm pretty sure if Conor turned around to Deana and put on an Indian accent and said 'I can't even understand you' then it would've been all over the newspapers about racism.

What do you think?

can. we. stop. trying. to. turn. everything. into. a. race. or. gender. or. sexuality. row.

Jords 06-07-2012 06:38 PM

He was grumbling ffs

InOne 06-07-2012 06:38 PM

I do agree actually. I remember when BB10's Marcus got called up for it and he destroyed them in the DR. He said if he had been taking the piss out of anyone but Sree's accent he wouldn't have been called in, or if anyone else did it, they wouldn't have been called.

i think its ok to take the piss out of any accent myself. its not racist unless what your saying is. she just couldn't understand him i cant either sometimes just because he cant speak properly nothing to do with where from.

I. am. not. all. I. am. saying. is. there. should. be. equality. as. if. it. was. the. other. way. round. Conor. would. have. been. called. racist.

Besides. I. like. Deana.

Mhm, yeah I totally agree that what Deana said WASN'T in any way racist.. but yeah, you know, it would've been totally blown out of proportion if it was the other way round

There's already many justifications in the other thread.

deana doesn't have an accent.... so yea, if conor impersonated her with an accent she didn't have based on her heritage that would be pretty racist. Deana saying that she couldn't understand conor because he mumbles is just saying it like it is. Not the same

It'd be different because Deana is easy to understand. I didn't hear what Conor said either.

She didnt even do an impression of his accent so your arguments pretty screwed.
but dont let the facts get in the way of a bit of over reacting.

For a start, everyone has an accent so, oops.

Deana was criticising his mumbling and not his race... and Conor couldn't really turn around and do a mock Indian accent as you suggest because Deana in fact speaks very clear English and doesn't have any sort of Indian accent. She was at no stage mimicking an Irish accent, but was clearly just mimicking his mumbling.

Do i need to be more specific for you to follow? Deana doesn't have an Indian accent...

fruit_cake 06-07-2012 06:51 PM

accents should be fair game, but they aren't.

What do you think?

Yes, people should learn from us. We are brilliant, we speak the truth.

Erm.. I'm pretty sure if I just heard her voice I could tell she was Indian. She doesn't have a strong Indian accent but you can definitely tell she is Indian just by listening to her voice.

Me. I Am Salman 06-07-2012 06:55 PM

I had no idea what he said either :conf2:
Whereas Deana's accent is clear
There was no racist intention at all.

Clear to you, maybe. Clear to me also, but maybe not clear to Conor.

Black Dagger 06-07-2012 06:59 PM

LMAO, he was clearly mumbling.

But with some, Deana is the anti-christ and must have spikes put through her head for being such an awful woman :idc:
