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.

She's embarrassing. Nothing more to say.

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

Gina is the racist. I feel sorry for Jemima.

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.

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

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

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

[Mrluvaluva]

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.

[ruiphillips]

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

[lostalex]

The important point is....don't make generalized statements about ANY race, for any reasons. Just treat everyone as individuals and you won't get into any trouble.

So if I was to say, "All Asians are so hot". Thats racist?

[Marsh.]

Why would you say all asians are all hot though?

Generalisation in general whether it's positive or negative is just stupid.

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.

[karezza]

Is it racist to vote to evict Gina?

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.

Yes it is. You are referring to billions of people as one homogenous hot mass based on their race. The statement disregards any individuality identity or unique characteristics. They're all the same.

[lostalex]

When she says "i'm not attracted to black people" it sounds like she doesn't WANT to be attracted to any black person, and that the minute she knows that someone is black, she immediately considers them unattractive.

It doesn't sound like she is open minded at all, it sounds like she has a REASON to find all black people unattractive.

I don't know what that reason is, i don't know where it comes from. But it is certainly racist to say that any black person, no matter who they are are, is automatically unattractive in her eyes, just based on being black.

The view you describe is rife on this board and posters feel perfectly justified to just throw it out there.
Being attracted or unattracted to a entire race is racist

No need to drive a bus now, you are doing a great job of rubbishing your own argument. Why don't you just come out and say its illegal to say you don't like someone, forgive me but I thought that fell under personal preference which the last time I looked, was a perfectly legal and not at all racist.

This argument you are pitching is about as believable as Rylan getting an award for looking like last years Derby winner.

We all have our own personal preference to people we find attractive.... it was disgusting the 'race' card was played. This country takes the 'politically correct' card to the extreme.... if someone prefers blondes to brunettes does that make them racist?....get a life BB...punish the ones who try and play the card for their own gain. Jemima did nothing wrong...end of!!
