The racism in the house is overt. Vanessa, Kamal, Derek and Science ARE BRITISH and therefore share the same culture as the other white house mates. Cultural difference are no excuse - prejuidice and racism are the answer. These people have more in common with Maxwell et al than they do with Makosi or Roberto, and yet they were able to co-exist.

Of course this is difficult for people to admit to and be honest with but our subconcious will always give us away.

Fear of someone who looks different.

Saskai has made constant comments about "you people" and "chips on shoulders". Who are "you people"? Black people of course!!

If you do not live it, then you often have a limited understanding of others experiences. We all experience the dominant "white" culture, but how many white people can truly say they have close friends that are of other ethnic origins? Very few. Many black and asian people have a wider circle of friends, and thus have a broader experience.

SORRY GUYS - RACISM IT IS.
