I am still confused as to why it is OK for the men, in particularly Foolio in this series and lets not forget Rex and Darnell in the previous one as well, to behave in a sexist manner whereas racism isnt tolerated (rightly so). The defence for this behaviour has been that Foolio has been joking and winding them up, or that he is doing it to get them to walk (his excuse) or the women he is winding up are being too sensitive and cant take a joke, and should ignore it or answer back. I think thats the reasons given.

So lets say I, as a white man, went into the house and claimed the house was mine and I was going to make everyone leave by winding them up. I then do this by saying to a black contestant that he should do all my cooking make my bed and that black people are slaves to the white man. When someone says thats not fair, I say to them that they are all "n word" and that "I dont give a *****". When the black person I have said this to, complains and even may cry and get upset, I claim that they are deliberately targetting me and making me look bad because they know how these shows work, and really all I was doing was having a laugh and I have now been victimised.

OK so thats my example, and I just dont see why one is more acceptable than the other. Without attacking me, as I'm trying to ask a sensible question, can someone explain why it is OK for this type of "jokey behaviour" to be aimed at women but not at a different race?
