I agree with this. BBUK relies too much on stereotypes when casting housemates and we always end up getting the same personality. It's like they're cast to play a certain role and it's really annoying.

Out of the many black women we've had on BBUK there's only really been a few which didn't fit into that 'angry black woman' stereotype - Melanie, Alison, Makosi, Vanessa, Rachael (but even then they were either evicted early or vilified by the public by the time they left the house )
