It really depends on how it's done, the intention is what makes it offensive, not the accent itself.

Good example of this is in BB10, when Marcus was called in for imitating Sree's accent. He said that Kris does the same thing with Freddie all the time, and it's meant to offend, the only reason Marcus is being called out is because Sree is Indian.

Tbh people would attack Helen if she sneezed at this point, it's getting quite pathetic from the media and the viewers that watch the show.
I said it's annoying how BB are protecting her and aren't showing us everything... I never said it was racist at all People read into things too much

I don't think mocking someone's accent is racist either (directed at the article Hayden, not you ) but I agree with what some people mentioned in another thread earlier that it would be labelled racist if it were towards say an Indian person, but then I don't think that's racist either. Marcus completely destroyed the producers in BB10 when he was pulled up for that and it was hilarious

You are wasting your breath sunshine, let the Helen haters have their day. If she shouted the word potato in a high pitched tone, someone would slate her for being racist.

I am Irish and take no offence so why should some of these so called haters, total rubbish and its getting so bad, the very people that call foul at every corner are the very people ruining the show because the prods are so frightened to let anything happen.

Cant they see that this is why these things are not being shown and when they are hidden, the very same people demand them to be shown. Its all too much to take in. A bad case of dammed if you do and dammed if you dont.

Who started this?

What an overreaction, it's sh*t like this that's contributed to the downfall of the show tbh.

I'm not a Helen supporter and I think she's trashy.

You talk as though only one of them can be trashy, pointing the guilt at one of them suddenly means we think the other one is innocent. No.

Some of us can see the pair of them for what they are.

No bullying. Just the clash of a pair of petty bitches.
