LOL, this is way i've been saying the whole time.

The second a black person is up for eviction, they're ass is out the front door a few days later! And they ALL get boo'd. Even if they are the nicest person in the world (Rachel).

Govan and Ife were unbelievable bitches.

Rachel1 just fancied herself too much (true Keeley was even worse and thought herself well above everyone else , she got away with it). She really needed a lesson from Corin on how to be humble. Nobody thinks Corin fancies herself, she isn't too high and mighty to be the back end of Sam's horse or date the nerd Andrew and make the best of it or indeed moan when she is sidelined during Jo's Corin hate-fest.

Of course Jo was the worst of the lot, being suggested for the back end of Sam's horse put her into a pyschotic rage and she belittled sam to a shocking degree. She was not only high and mighty, she then started the mother of all bitch fests because corin had nommed her. She was an utter s**t and complete disgrace.

The two Rachels have most to feel picked on. I think Rachel2 is the only real cause for racist concern.

I would concentrate on why BB chose four very nasty black people in the first place.

if only white people voted them out, you could call them racist.

have you no idea.?

they were simply not liked.

There is nothing worse than faux-horror over so-called 'racism'. There is no racist behaviour in voting out the less popular housemates, even though they might be non-white. There were very good reasons for voting off Rachael, Jovan, Rachel and Jo - none of those reasons were because of colour.

You can call it as much as you like, you will still be wrong.

Not going into other years, but in BB11's case I think it was really just bad casting. Govan was cannon fodder, and the other 4 brought little to nothing to the house.

A lot of it comes down to casting. Clearly a Belo type can win, clearly a Victor/Science/Charley type is doomed. But I do agree with a lot of what ILoveTRW and Wildcat said.

[bigbrothermaniac008]

It's 2010, Seriously It's not about skin colour. Its whether they were a good Hm or not.
1) Jo and Ife were boring and didnt say much..
2)Govan bitched about people-thats why he was evicted
3)Rachel was annoying!

I do feel Rachael had a premeture eviction though!

[Mac Hiavellian]

There lies the problem, there was only 5 out of 21 black or mixed race HMs. Just as there's only 1 Bristonian, 2 Welsh, 1 from Liverpool, 1 gay, 1 lesbian, 3 over 40. It's just part of the selection process.

The only thing that's remained near consistent is the gender ratio on launch nights, except for BB8 or launches with an odd number of entries

Of course I don't think people are like 'oh, shes black, lets evict her!' but I think they subconsciously are without really realizing it.

And no, I don't think there were good reasons at all for voting off those people, especially considering the people they are up against such as John James.

Absolutely Rachel2 should not have gone, but she was unlucky to be in a strong eviction field.

The fact that BB chose four very nasty others is the main problem. I am not sure they could have foreseen Jo's woman scorned pyschotic change.

Hahaha!! 4 Nasty people!

This is exactly the point! The lala land kind of thinking. HOw youre so kick to brand them as nasty, if they do one thing wrong!
HOw were any of those nasty people?? Are you kidding me? Compared to some of the other housemates, they were far from nasty, and that includes all 4 of them, Govan, Ife, Racheal, and jo

That just emphasizes my point, if youre black, you better be the nicest (but if you are, you better not have an annoying voice), most perfect housemate with no bad qualities at all, or otherwise, you are the next target, and all of a sudden you are nasty! GIve me a break!

HOw did any of the things they do, make them nastier, than some of the ones they get evicted agAISNT?

The racism is there. Fair enough, if you dont want to talk about it, or you dont care, just leave it be! BUt for those who see it, and those who might consider that its there after reading this, then let them make their mind up, instead of dismissing the obvious!

now if the question was posed by somebody with a legitimate query as to why the public opinion might have swung in the way it did then i dont doubt you would get a reasoned debate about it.
But when the question is posed as part of an agenda somebody crying racism because their favourite housemate has been voted out for example or because they are angry with the forum that things havent worked out as they would have liked and they use it as something to attack other people with then it will get short shrift.
I think you know what im getting at even if i dont explain it too well but a legitimate questioning of racism in ukbb with no agenda will i believe will get a reasonable response and debate on this site.

Yeah, definitely agree with you! Some people do like to just bring it up at every opportunity! BUt if you look at the whole series, and all the housemates, I think its a fair issue to bring up!

I hope you gave bobnot an infraction, her post was totally unnecessary.

[Part-timer]

Govan and Ife are on a par with Steve .
Absoloutley dreadfull housemates.
What was the goint in either of them .
Nobody is interested in housemates who are trying to figure out who they are.
You have to know that long before you go in.

But we all know the British public don't evict people because they are boring.

Govan was a much better housemate than most of those drying paintings in there. He was capable of some industrial strength stirring and bitching.

We are not racist.

Can you comprehend that some of us dont actually see colour but infact see PEOPLE

Op is clearly the one being racist as is judging people by colour and basically saying that there should atleast be one black person in the final just so its politically correct.

This topic got tiresome in 2008.
