Well I must be the most racist person in the world because I dont particularly find black women that attractive why my personal preference I prefer white women does that mean I could never find a black woman attractive in future not really . Ginas pathetic she pulled the race card out of her arse for no real reason and Big Brother deserve to be panned for their completely spineless actions .

[lostalex]

There are beautiful people of all races.

It's racist to make a general statement about ALL people of a certain race.

Are you saying that there's not a single black woman(or man) on this planet that you would find attractive?

Why make such general statements like that?

There are beautiful and sexy people of all races, you haven't met every person of every race, so why would you feel the need to make generalizations like that?
It's basically saying that even if you met the most sexy, beautiful, clever, intelligent, kind, friendly, funny person in the world, if they were black, you wouldn't be attracted to them, just because they are black.

Wrong, I haven't met every giraffe in the world, but I'm certain I wouldn't find any of them attractive.

so you are comparing black people to being a completely different species?

and you don't see how that would be offensive?

I don't dislike blacks but if I was single I wouldn't date one, just the same as I wouldn't date a gay person, does that make me homophobic because I have straight views and preferences based on my own personal opinions. Your argument is so vague you could drive a bus through it. We are all entitled to out=r opinions and likes and she defo didn't mean her comments to be racist, that's just plain stupid.

My argument isn't vague at all. My argument is that you should judge everyone as an individual.

Saying black people are not hot is not an opinion, because she hasn't met every single black person, so how can she say that every single black person is not hot?

She was saying that black people are not attractive to her without meeting every sing;e black person. how does she know that she doesn't find black people attractive if she hasn't met every single black person?

It's obviously RACIST to generalize about all black people.

IF she had said, "i've never met a black person that i'm attracted to". that would be very different, that would be an opinion. That would be perfectly fine

But she didn't say that. She said that she's not attracted to black people.

[GiRTh]

She's embarrassing. Nothing more to say.

[karezza]

Gina is the racist. I feel sorry for Jemima.

[Kennysmcfc1968]

That not what ment by that statement is just a personal preference
Not a statement of race

To be fair, the OP said

But in answer to the question, I think it was more that Jemima made an automatic assumption that Gina wouldn't go for white guys purely because she is black.

Beyonce said to tell you, she don't believe you as did Kerry Washington and Halle Berry

I think it's a bit pathetic. If Gina would not have made an issue out of the whole thing, I don't think Big Brother would have reacted to it, but they are **** scared of any scandals now and have to cover themselves at every opportunity. As far as I could gather, she was talking about her preferences in general. I didn't hear her say she could never find a black man attractive. I would say it had more to do with human nature than racism. I actually wonder if this would have been a talking point had the annoying bitch not made such an issue out of it.

Hey up chuck, you are bang to rights again. All these so called politically correct nutters just need to live a little. You are also right that Black is a colour and not a race as my neighbour will testify, he was born and bred in Leeds and is as black as the ace of spades and the nearest he has been to the Caribbean is Blackpool or Brid, his wife is a white lass for Ponty.

I am hanging back to pass judgement this year as there are way too many oddballs and some that haven't yet shown their hands but I tend to like Callum and Sam, but that might change as the weeks go by. The one I don't like is that bloody mole, he needs some serious acting lessons.

You're not aware of much. African (or "black") IS a race, just as Caucasian (or "white") is. Did you complete school?

Also, are you aware of how capitalization and apostrophes work?

Please post a link where Jemima actually said the word AFRICAN

She probably is aware how to read, write, spell and use correct punctuation but there again, who gives a crap when confronted by numpties that think that tosser pics signify their value of worth. If you want people to take you seriously and reply correctly to your posts, I suggest you act accordingly.

Your generalisation of Black and white is laughable. There are hundreds of race cultures and you seem to think they are covered by 2. BTW you picked on the wrong girl in Chuff, good luck but if I were you I would leave her alone and find someone your own size. BTW I am glad I am not you, just before you throw it back at me.

Do you know something my good friend ,some things are not worthy of an answer

[ruiphillips]

No. What's racist is to say a black woman like Gina wouldn't find a white guy attractive.

BUT....Gina has already said that she doesn't like ANY of the guys in the house.
& racism is NOT a one way street.
