If she doesn't win though, I have no doubt that those who used to bleat on about the public being so obviously racist because a black person has never won*, will continue to do so. Totally ignoring the fact that she made the final, and was saved numerous times.
*Ignoring Belo. As apparently he was white inside or some other rubbish.

It's still worth pointing out that Heaven was the first black girl to survive a head to head eviction, and Gina's the only other one to do so if you count when Dexter was saved Week 1. Being black and having a vagina
is a disadvantage on BB. The public is far more likely to label black girls as loud, aggressive, argumentative, etc. Marcus was an extremely aggressive person but nobody calls him that, and there's no way Sophia would've been an overwhelming favorite if she acted the same way Freddie did. You really have to look no further than "BB will tell two lies" and then the public nominates Makosi (who
may be justified on the fact that she was such a extraordinary character that she was too much of a bitch to exist) and Vanessa (who was completely harmless), the horrible hate campaigns created to get out Rachael, Ife, Rachel (she got nearly two thirds over the vote against DAVE AND JOHN JAMES I would probably kill myself if that happened to me), and Jo, who were all harmless but were ripped to shreds for no good reason.
I know, I know, "but Belo won!" "but Makosi beat Lesley in a housewide eviction!" "but Heaven beat Rebeckah!" but looking at this as an "all or nothing" case isn't right. Just because those things happened doesn't mean that the GBP is
never racist
ever.

Well the fact that it took nine series to get two biological female winners speaks for itself doesn't it?
