Giving two examples of black people doing well doesn't mean that the public isn't racist ever. Racism isn't viewed in terms of all or nothing.

Going back to Mel in BB1 she was hated because she flirted with men in the house that had girlfriends, not because of her skin colour.

This was already brought up, but Claire was flirting with Craig despite the fact that she had a boyfriend of ELEVEN YEARS, yet their relationship was seen Sam endearing.

BB11 is a prime example of this. Every week when a black woman was up for eviction they went home despite them being up against much, much worse personalities.

mhmm preach the righteous truth LJ. Especially this week with Adjoa, she was rather inoffensive and funny yet she received a lot of the negative answers in the public opinion task (despite the public having nothing to base that stuff off of!) and was booed to death as got OFF OFF OFF chants for an interview that was nothing out of the ordinary. BBUK has always been a show about racism and I'm shocked that so many people are doing mental gymnastics to deny that.
