Almost every black male since BB2 Dean (bar legend Derek BB6 and John Tickle BB4) has been a rap-loving 'urban' stereotype.
Found BB2 Brian D annoying as a camp cliche of a gay man, but I presume thered me masculine gay men in later series, never happened.

Yes, BB does like it's stereotypes. They really seem to do a disservice to black women too, with people like Charlie and that one that got kicked out for making threats.
