It's a bit reductionist to only focus on popularity and cheers though. You're expecting any racism to be really explicit and on the nose but it's rarely like that. It's more about how non white housemates can face increased scrutiny and damaging stereotypes. Trish talked about this often and it probably says a lot that her and Noky both felt like they were impacted negatively by people's perceptions and assumptions given that they're actually very different both in background and personality.

I'm really not one to shout racism at any thing but if it's something that both black housemates have talked about then it's surely worth listening and reflecting on rather than just shut it down as not being an issue because they got a few cheers on eviction night?
