WTH is up with you everyone?

Whether it's racism or not is not the issue. It is most definitely a case of acute and extreme ignorance towards somebody who's only offence is nothing more than being different from the people attacking her. It's ignorance which leads to prejudice which leads to racism.
|
But I don't think it is fair to say an ignorant person is a racist.
If someone is un/misinformed and unaware in a subject their judgements will be wrong but it doesn't make them racist.

Ignorance leads to racism. It's a fact. If somebody has been misimformed then it is up to them to listen and learn not to judge and belittle. I again go back to the person who pointed out that Shilpas culture is as much a mystery to Jermaine and Dirk as it is to Team ignorant. However, they are reacting in a different and more acceptable way.

That's the thing with some of them in the house they just make assumptions based on ignorant views they already hold and come out with the first thing in they think of rather than actually learn to listen about find out about people's cultures.
|
But that is not racism just because they have not learnt or listened.
We haven't seen them ask Leo who lives in Australia, Jermaine/Dirk who live in America about where they live and neither have they done the same with Shilpa.
