Recently re-watching CBB5 and thinking it about it now, the race row was kind of blown out of proportion imo.

When I was re-watching that whole week back, it didn't really make me as uncomfortable as it did at the time and it wasn't as dark and hostile as I thought it would be. Whilst I admit that Shilpa was treated awfully for no apparent reason by Jade and co, all it was was an argument over Oxo cubes and some spiteful bitching with some racial connotations done behind her back (At one point during my re-watch I found myself saying "Is that all?" because I remembered it being much worse). It was not racist bullying, it was just bullying which stemmed from jealousy and class (mainly on Jade's part if anything). And to think it was this massive headline back in 2007 which hit international news and garnered over 44,000 Ofcom complaints is quite laughable when you look back at it nine years later tbh. Especially when you have somebody like Helen Wood win the show like seven years later and Conor being rewarded with the half the prize fund.
