If you listen or believe the utterances of a self confessed liar and seemingly lower working class hood *****, then you may spring to the conclusion that BB has miffed it up. I fear not, she has looked for an opening to get air time but she didn't think too hard before she opened her daft gob.

Her assessment of what was said was based on cherry picking words and a sentences she needed to promote her cause. Get the daft cow out, her conflicting brashes are moot and she needs to take her sorry ass back to the hood and her storyline needs to follow her. £18,000 a month rent and a 2 bob hair do just don't gel.

That's got bugger all to do with it. Not fancying anyone in the house and "not going for white guys" are two different things.

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.

EXACTLY ! and since when has black been a race ? as far as im aware its a colour . as you say ,it is Jemimas "choice" by time some folk wound their arrogant necks in

If you think someone is a "bit racist" because of who they find sexually attractive then you need to get out more.

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?

We don't say "oriental" anymore, just as we don't say "negro". The term you're looking for is "Asian".

Nobody in the UK says Asian unless they mean of Indian/Pakistani origin. Asian meaning oriental is an American term.

It is very much 'oriental' in this country.

So what did J mean when she said to Gina that she was sure that Gina wouldn't go out with a white guy? If that comment wasn't showing some racism, then what the hell was it?

Opinions are formed from our personal knowledge and experiences. How can J possibly know what Gina would or wouldn't do?
Can anyone actually answer the question I asked in a rational manner?

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.

I answered in a rational manner ,you ought to read my replies if i dont and likewise how can you know why Jemima asked her ?

..the thing is though Chuff, would she have said something similar to say Sallie or Charlie..would she have said, 'I don't suppose you would be attracted to a white guy'...?...I can't imagine her saying that so she said it to Gina based on the colour of her skin, which is racist....I do agree that Gina pushed and manipulated the situation and that Jemima felt under pressure and probably didn't mean it that way but she did say it and I don't think that BB had any choice but to give her a warning over it....

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

Gina had already decided Jemima was racist even before the 'you wouldnt go for a white guy' comment. I explained my thoughts on that on another thread..but here we go again. AT that point Jemima had already been backed into a corner with ridiculous accusations so was panicking and yes, what she said was stupid, but I would imagine most people would flap a bit when being accused of being racist on TV tbh..mud sticks, even if its not true, people know this.

Maybe if the situation came up,she could have asked them, but she was talking to Michael and Miss Upherownarse had to put her nose in

Just don't let yourselves get drawn out guys, if that is your interpretation of the discussion then that's it.

I agree that Gina jumped on J for no good reason...or so it seemed. But now I think it's possible that Gina had already detected something in J previously and may have been proved right. No way on earth I would have said what J did to Gina under any circumstances or provocation. If someone accused me of racism I wouldn't say something to confirm their accusation.
Maybe she is stupid. Maybe she did panic. We don't know. But the truth often comes out when someone is panicked and stupidity is no excuse for a racist remark. BB couldn't just let it go in any case. They were right to caution her.
