When Tiffany was angry, Kristina said she was fearing for her life and wanted her gone etc but when Megan was angry.. which was worse than Tiffany's she didn't fear her and wanted her to stay.. I think Kristina was stereotyping here.



this is not about Kristina disliking Tiffany......

[Vicky.]

I don't know if she is racist, or if she just really does not like Tiffany.

Also I get the scared of Tiff but not of Megan thing. I posted in another thread that MEgan comes across seriously pathetic and I would probably laugh at her getting up in my face, but I would be more wary of Tiffany (and a few others).

Exactly this tbh.

I think accusations of racism are being too casually flung around at the moment, it's a pretty serious thing to publicly accuse someone of.

it's only flung around because of what people say and do tbh, black people get treated different to white people, so of course Kristina fearing Tiffany and not Megan is going to raise eyebrows. And the ghetto comment has offended people so people are going to talk about that.

It's more understandable with the ghetto comment, but I see no reason at all for Kristina to be getting accused of being racist. A tad unreasonable? Sure. I think it would have been more productive for her to accept Tiffany's olive branch that day. But the fact that she just doesn't like Tiffany shouldn't automatically become a race thing because I don't think there's been any indication of that whatsoever, personally.

I;m asking other peoples views on it and it's not about hating/disliking Tiffany, It's about her being a pathetic woman fearing for her life over Tiffany when her anger was normal and fine but when Megan reacted badly like worse than Tiffany she didn't want her to go like she did with Tiffany who was harmless. Like it signs of stereotyping because they are seen as 'loud' 'aggressive' 'dangerous' etc.. which is why BB cast them for....

No one is desperate for racism, no one wants it to happen but I fell fearing a black female and not a white female who was worse is quite suspicious.. you do know some people avoid to walk pass black males/females like crossing the road because they think something is going to happen.. which is stereotyping.. Kristina fearing Tiffany and not Megan is going to get people wondering this kind of stuff.

It's not fearing for racism. In fact I don't think anyone thinks that Kristina is making racist comments or whatever, it's just her and a few other housemates make it obvious they're naturally intimidated by black housemates, or just more fond of their own race.

The fantasy racist holier than though brigade always see a basic personality clash to be racist if the clash involves someone of a different race.

Your right some people feel a need to make themselves feel good by displaying their goody goody two shoes credentials.

[Jake.]

like vicky said, megan's the type I'd end up laughing at because she ends up looking like a screaming beetroot

I'd be far more wary of tiff kicking off

[Northern Monkey]

Megan is a skinny little girl who's about as scary as a bunch of flowers.Tiffany is bigger in stature and looks like she could drop someone if she caught them right.Colour is of little importance.

Indeed.

Of the women I would be more wary of Daniella, Gemma, Tiff, maybe Nancy and possibly Angie.

I would laugh in the face of Kristina, Megan and Stephanie if they started.

[LukeB]

Tiffany may be bigger but her reaction was normal like any other persons and the people fearing her was quite pathetic and OTT.. It was harmless nothing to be scared of but people like to stereotype. I would fear Megan if i was in that house if she acted like that and not Tiffany

[hot2go]

Megan was psycho and drunk....Tiffany was psycho and sober....both stupid idiots but I've yet to see anyone go as crazy as Tiffany when sober....she is def the most disturbed.....I see no reason to associate being disturbed with race or colour....it's not racist, Tiffany is just a fruit cake

[Shaun]

No

[Drew.]

Definitely not

[hot2go]

Megan was correct in her observations, Tiffany was totally incorrect in hers.....both were wrong in their delivery

[hot2go]

Why if some one attacks Tiffany on here then they get called racist but if someone attacks John they don't get called homophobic.....some very immature people about......are Tiffany fans so inarticulate that their only defence of Tiffanys appalling personality is that she's not white...what an insult to black people that is ....

That's not the point... people can say what they want etc but it's about treating people differently because of who they are...

because the Angry Gay Man isn't a perpetuated stereotype while the Angry Black Woman is?

I disagree ....I don't associate being a black female with being angry or hysterical .....this week I've seen an angry black woman and an angry white woman both behaving as bad as each other.....the only difference being that one was sober and one was drunk...even tho being drunk excuses nothing it does however explain a lot....Tiffany went into melt down at lunch time while totally sober....her behaviour around Angie Bowie in the aftermath of her stupid stupid mistake is something that should be used against her every nominations day between now and when she gets booted out

[aj2463]

Kristina seems really reserved, non-existent at times.. Maybe Tiff just ain't her cup of tea.. That's giving Kristina the benefit of the doubt of course
