Conor will make out now that he is overly popular because he got 80% of the public vote that week, when I bet all of about 12 votes were cast.

Well he got over 30 votes from me that week for one.You don't survive 4 evictions not having a fair measure of popularity with the public.
If he had really been as unpopular as you and others make out he was, in that head to head with Shievonne, the public could have treated it as a vote to evict week and storm votes for Shievonne to get him out, how surprising him being supposedly so unpopular that chance wasn't then taken,in my opinion anyway.
In fact the votes appear to have stormed to him as they did in the first week too.

I never agreed with what he said but it doesn't make him a bad person overall in my view and I will vote how I like and for who I like and how many times I like.
As it is clear from the percentages, many others from the voting public did too.

You voted for a man that threatened rape. Hope you're proud of yourself

People can vote for who they want and don't need to justify it.

So how does our top 3 being; a transgender man, a black male with a gang history, a British-Indian female - fit into this idea of yours that the public are inherently prejudiced?

Even if you did argue that race is a factor, that alone does not account for such a massive difference in percentages

That's because they have a storyline, they are all known to the public and liked for who they are. If you just put up a man and a woman, nothing else, no emotional investment, voters will save the man. It's always happened. There's only been one instance in a head to head where the woman has been saved since BB9 when rachel was saved and that's lauren vs. benedict. Same goes for if you put up a black woman and a white woman, voters will tend to save the white woman.

And not at all pathetic, I think it's more pathetic that people support such a vile, odious creature.

So you only crudely reduce it down to stereotypes where it suits, I don't deny that it might give an advantage being white/male but I'd say the difference is only marginal & I'm still surprised at how much Conor did win that eviction by

He's not just doing to where it suits. You're acting like because it doesn't happen every single time, it's not true, discounting all the times a black female is labeled as aggressive or a woman is shunned while a man is a "legend" for similar behavior. All this year's final three shows is that a broken clock is still right twice a day.

Hear hear! Let's he honest if Luke A didn't have that transgender story he would have went the week he was up against Lauren, that eviction is a prime example of a back-story versus a strong personality, the back-story always wins.

As for Conor if we're up in a head to head against any outsider he would've gone, beating Shev no achievement.

Yeah, luke A played a blinder that week. Talking to the insiders gave him airtime, he then made his first of many 'accept me' DR pleas, and got adam to dig lauren a big hole for herself 2 DAYS before the eviction. Yet she only lost by 7%.....THAT was a big turning point in the whole series. Still, no hard feelings, lol....

I see no reason for me not to be, I am happy with what I have voted all through this series, in fact I think I have given votes to at least 10 of the 17 housemates in total at varying times.

I saw someone make an offensive comment,that was all I saw, I have seen a lot of offensive comments made in this series by all housemates,Conor's was dealt with by BB,I was happy with their action.
I doubt OFCOM will see it any different to BB in fact, so I think your generalisation to the comment is as misguided as the comment made by Conor was very much so too.
The voting percentages and Conor being saved by the public in 3 eviction battles following after the comment had been made too also speaks volumes but not in your favour clearly as he survived them all.
