I don't believe any of them were racists to begin with. I think they just descended into making fun of Shilpa's origins as a cheap shot, because to begin with, if my memory serves me correctly, they were just arguing about trivial ****, it's not like Shilpa walked into the house and they immediately started calling her Shilpa Poppadom etc. As I said in my other post, I'm glad that Shilpa won, and I think, in a bizarre way, that series served as a fine example of Big Brother as a social experiment. It started out as a social experiment and it soon became a reality TV car crash, but that series of CBB, without meaning to be, became far more of a social commentary than it was an entertainment show. It showed how awful people could be but it also showed how the British public en masse do not tolerate bullies, we do not want to be known as racists and we do not want to reward losers for ignorant behaviour.

Jade's life afterwards was obviously never the same again and it wasn't long before she was diagnosed with cancer and then passed away. I think had it not been for her stint in CBB, I would have been saddened by her death because she really was one of the best ever housemates until she revealed her nasty side in CBB.
