Bullying, yes, but no racism.
I never saw BB3 but Jade was a great housemate in that series, it was great TV but I'm against bullying and this was no different, it was pretty vile. Shilpa however, did absolutely not deserve to win. She was a total bore that did nothing other than pick up the sympathy vote, and I'm sorry...but that still doesn't warrant a win.
I still maintain to this day that Big Brother's demise was down to that series (as I'm sure we all are), and the main cause of it were the press and idiotic sheep that followed the crowd.

There were definitely racist remarks made about Shilpa and Indians. The two I can remember off the top of my head were (think it was Danielle who said it but not 100%) when commenting on how Shilpa had under cooked the chicken
Maybe that's why they're all so skinny in India cos they've got food poisoning from not cooking chicken properly (or similar) and also the Shilpa popadum comment by Jade. I'm sure there was more but that's all I remember off the top of my head. They also mocked her accent iirc.
Granted Shilpa may not have won if it weren't for the whole bully thing and yes, I agree it led to the downfall of BB
however that was not Shilpas fault, she did not ask to be bullied and harassed by 3 ignorant, rude bitches, so if anyone is to blame, it's them.
