Dermot On BBLB - Racist?
 
Did anyone else see what Dermot did on BBLB today?

Dermot was saying that Amanda did the most laps so far in the swimming task and Brian did the least. He then said that Brian said he's never been a good swimmer.

Dermot then says that's racist?

What the hell? Since when is a black man calling himself a bad swimming being racist to himself? I think Dermot was being racist bringing racism into wether or not a black man can swim or not. It was quite offensive really.

I bet he'd say Brian can jump the highest if asked.

dupin 19-06-2007 07:01 PM

I know, how can he get away with implying that Brian can't swim because he's black!

Although it was said in the heat of the moment like Emily, he himself was implying the racist part whereas the word was when she said it, so in some ways it's a bit worse. (Obviously on the whole it's not because of the history of the 'N' word.)


Dermot has been really cruel lately, especially to Shabnam. I didn't really like her that much but they are so unnecesaraly nasty. He's really starting to p!ss me off.

Erm, that's the last thing I wanted to do.

If he was "joking" then why does he get away with it? Emily was joking and look at her now...

Donkeylegs 19-06-2007 07:29 PM

the should evict Dermot form the BBLB studio at 3.30am bruv.

he's wel racist like.

dupin 19-06-2007 07:34 PM

Well he didn't say anything racist, but the comment in general was bizarre and out of place...

cepb 19-06-2007 07:36 PM

He said nothing racist really.

Captain.Remy 19-06-2007 07:39 PM

There is nothing racist in the comment really !
Because he said that Brian isn't a great swimmer, everybody thinks it's racist because he's black ! That's stupid ! So now because people are black we can't say anything to them...

AlexMC 19-06-2007 07:39 PM

no he wasn't racist, because he could clearly see that he wasnt a very good swimmer...

andybigbro 19-06-2007 07:40 PM

Totally agree, I mean what's the matter with everyone? I mean if Brian isn't a good swimmer, then pointing that out can NOT be considered as racism.

What so everyone on BB might as well say anything racist they like because it would be pathetic for anyone to bring up racism again!

:laugh2::laugh2: :rolleyes:

I couldn't agree more here.

Why did Dermot then say it's racist? It isn't racist at all because Brian can't swim. What I do find offensive is the fact that Dermot called it racist.

I think you've all either not watched it or do not understand what I meant by the first post. I wasn't calling it racist to call Brian a bad swimmer. I think that's a pathetic thing to say, which is why I'm annoyed/confused why Dermot would, and DID call it racist.

Dermot could be seen as being racist for bringing the word racism into something completely unrelated to the colour of the person.

Maybe it was written down on the board and he was meant to say it, as it could have possibly been written by a producer. Brian may actually be a good swimmer, just lazy. I didn't hear him say in any part of it that Brian actually said that himself.

naem136 19-06-2007 08:05 PM

i didnt even hear anything other then him saying brains a rubbish swimmer

Either way it's a strange thing to do. They are usually so careful about it.

Sunny_01 19-06-2007 08:15 PM

could it not be that he meant it in the race as in running a race kind of way! could he not have been using sarcasm! I hate this recent desire to label people as racist.

That's what i though I heard too.......

Whatever he said this is getting blown out of all proportion as is often the case when the racism obsession grinds on........

Shaun 19-06-2007 08:17 PM

Wtf - what did he say? :puzzled:

Donkeylegs 19-06-2007 08:21 PM

Dermot love the racse issue in the BB.

He was in his element with the Shilpa and Emily.

Now he's tryign to drum up so more the swine.
