Especially to a black person who she didn't even know that well. It wasn't acceptable, and I think C4 did the correct thing.
I do understand your point of view, but because of my views concerning the word used, I don't think C4 had a choice.

Much worse has been said on this series. Do you think BBUSA have a choice to keep them in? Because it looks that is what they are doing.

We have free speech over here as well. However, white people don't get to use that word to a black person. It's the small penance we pay for the things we subjected other humans to for centuries. I think a little self control is definitely the better end of the deal, don't you?

I have to agree with you here. VERY small penance for the unimaginable horrors our race has subjected others to.

They didn't even check if she was OK.

WOW! Didn't even bother their wretched asses to ask if she was ok? How callous and uncaring is that? This is why I find the attitiudes in BBUS so much less appealing than UK or AU. At least BB gives a shyte about the wellbeing of housemates in UK and AU.
