Well, no. I'd much rather he abandon such thinking altogether. But it is not the job of Celebrity Big Brother to re-educate people nor to fight the good fight against racism. It's an entertainment show. It has certain responsibilities and one of them is ensuring racist language and humor is not used within the house.

A lot of people engage in such humour without really considering what it is they're actually saying with their jokes. Challenging that humour is good (imo) and healthy. Pillorying someone for lazy stereotyping and unintended offence is less helpful. Better to explain why it is offensive and then let them ponder that.

People don't change their minds on something because you go in hard, They change their minds because you give them compelling reasons to do so.
