Yeah I know what you mean. I'm a Jermaine fan but in the house he brought it to Shilpa's attention that it was a race row, and now he has seen the furore he's claiming it's not.
Maybe now he'll think twice in the future before trivialising something so big such as race.

Not just once he kept saying it to Shilpa that she then said it to Cleo......

And i think he is prejudice as when Jade asked if his mum was white he looked at her like she majorly insulted him

It was more a look of, have you ever gone to school?, kind of thing. It shouldn't have taken a genius to presume he had black parents (being black)

As for him changing his viewpoint' it doesn't really matter tbh. In the house you don't see everything and the fact he has changed his viewpoint since seeing the footage doesn't make him contradicting.

[Sasha]

Well he maybe black but half of his siblings are not!

Opps they didnt show it thys just showed 10 secs of it....... sorry James here have ur kish back

[James]

Thought he was just being diplomatic in the clip I saw.

He doesn't want to rock the boat more.

He was downplaying the issue a bit though.

[Sasha]

No in the full version they asked him about his "white trash" comment and asked him why he and the others didnt intervene

[Arkadina]

What did he say about the "white trash" comment?

he merely commented on what Dirk and Leo did said of the J family.

yet it was Jermaine who got accused.

i wonder why?

[Ruth]

Because people heard him say it, and there was a bit of a furore. I honestly think the police are getting involved only because they have to be seen to be doing something in light of all the complaints. There is absolutely no way any charges will be brought over this.

And Dirk is already back in Montana, so unless the police have spoken to him (which I doubt, because we would have heard about it), it doesn't seem likely that they will be doing in the near future).

He doesn't really shoot bears you know!

I checked, and it WAS Leo who first used the term "white trash" in a conversation with Dirk. Leo called Jade and her family "White trash" and Dirk said that that was what they would be called in the US as well. He then repeated the conversation to Jermaine, and Jermaine repeated it to Shilpa.
