If you look at comments on YouTube or Facebook from the first week there were people calling them hoodrats, ghetto and even one saying "loud angry and wig wearing"... and this was at a point where the vast majority were saying they'd not even made the highlights shows. The same thing happened to Toya, Adjoa and Natalie. Undoubtedly both Natalie and Toya had big fights and blow ups, but considering their fights were against equally 'aggressive' people like Hughie and Ash, who received cheers and positive receptions off the audience shows the inequality and existing racism within modern british society. People can deny it but it's just illuminated by someone like Adjoa being a first evictee and getting such an awful response whilst male housemates who threatened women manage to make it far and receive praise. I mean I even find myself in situations where a conflict arises and I'll speak up and suddenly told I have "the attitude" as if every black person universally holds some awful aggressive side... Kieran could walk up and shove Deborah, but lord knows if she shoves him back people would be baying for her 'aggressive' race card playing blood.

I think its more sexism than racism tbh. Men get away with stuff far more than women do on BB.
