...a bit of a sucky thread title but I'm in a rush and don't have time to give it more thought...it's strange though with everything that's happening in the BB house atm and I watched this video the other day, which I found interesting...

Youtube video

..both Tiffany and Megan have displayed heightened anger in the house..(although I do personally think that Tiffany's has been more reactionary to how she's been viewed and treated by the others, which has been pretty shabby..)..but you could say that neither have behaved well, which could be seen as pretty scary to the others who have to share a confined space with them...the reactions of the others seem to have been entirely different with most of them openly saying that Tiffany needed to go otherwise they would leave, they couldn't be around her...Kristina and John in particular...and yet with Megan in the bedroom and her anger, Kristina just said calmly that she hadn't expected that and John also didn't seem phased by it whereas with Tiffany, apparently she was an unpredictable 'danger'... anyways, the vid isn't very long and it's a very interesting watch because I personally think that some of the housemates are worryingly 'profiling' Tiffany's character....of course, if Tiffany feels and has felt that 'undercurrent' herself as well, then that's also some explanation for her defensive and sometimes OTT reactions as well/that she hasn't been treated in the same way or fairly in the house...

..anyways (because I have work and have to rush..)...we know that Megan is guilty of racial stereotyping with her 'ghetto' comment, she actually said it so that's an easy one to note...but with the others are they not acting the same/their reactions much stronger against Tiffany because they also see Tiffany as and even maybe subconsciously, have stereotyped her as a 'crazy ghetto person' who they don't feel safe around, because ya know ..whereas Meagan is just flying off on one...and completely 'unexpectedly'....because she seemed so sweet/nice, not something to be expected of her at all..?...hmmmm, why would that be

Thanks for that Ammi, it certainly gave me something to think about. I agree with your comments about Tiffany. She has been isolated and singled out and it stinks.

I believe that nothing will change until bigots & passive racists get to live as a visually and audibly identifiable minority for at least a year.

I don't think the housemates are racist, i just think because black people do look so different people feel uncomfortable around them sometimes. whenever someone is very different of course people will feel uncomfortable.

But lostalex you feel like this because you're a racist. Try and own it.

What is this racist distinction between "people" and black people.

Wanna be racist and called out on it. There you go! Hope this helps.
