I was offended by the remarks that were made by Jade et al but I suppose that doesnt matter, I was also disgusted that she thought that saying sorry would make things go away. Its just a word to some people and unless it is said with genuine remorse is worthless.

Jade Goody did say sorry numorous times.
Jo and Danielle didn't go that far, really!
We also saw Jade go up to Shilpa and explain why she did say the things she did. This was fact, because we all saw it.
Jade did say those two comments,"F*Wallah & Popodom".
Shilpa also, chose to NOT make a complaint. She also did not consider Jade to be a racist person either.
If you are a supporter of Shilpa Shetty, then, you would also trust her judgement completely. If Shilpa's judgement does not tally with your judgement. Then, that is tough!

Regarding the word, "Racism".
---------------------------------------
Some people are completely racist and make that very clear.
Other people, are, part-time-racists. This usually means, that, on the rare occasion, when a white person comes into contact with an ethnic minority or brown or black skin colour and an argument takes place, or a moment of violence.
I won't elaborate on examples.
Then, a comment may come out, in a moment of rage or anger. Much of the time, it was never meant!
But, as many of those types find words or sentances which contain, perhaps "racial-over-tones"? Then, many of those types can get hurt. Claiming that they have experienced racism. When, this happens, the person saying this, gets a moment of self-satisfaction, as they know it has offended that person at that moment in time.
If Jade, Jo & Danielle felt that Shilpa Shetty patronised them, or, looked down at them, then it can be "just", for all of those girls to say what they think of Shilpa.
Naturally, in the Big Brother house, they needed to show restraint! I feel that some of what they said, was over the top.
I also feel that, Jade Goody did more than enough to say sorry and also, gave her entire fees for the show and interviews was very generous, even though, every word, phrase, sentance was not that bad.
