Hilarious. When your finished guys, there's the rest of the world out there. I suppose though they have to look into things like this. Shilpa is a very well respected and acclaimed woman in India, and her presence in the UK is obviously not something the Government want to ignore - especially if she is being treated horribly. Racism/culture clash is a BIG thing these days, and we live in an extremely multi-cultural society.

But no matter your viewpoint, you can't help but laugh at the three witches, especially Goody, as they are in the spotlight for racism and bullying. Goody has already been dropped from a foundation. I think its hilarious and it teaches them right.

I'd wager that this year is going to have the biggest affect on the celebrities and their careers.

Yes, but what I want to know, would this much fuss have been made if they were all treating, say, Jo for example?

No

Jo is retired from Music.

Thats not the point though, if someone else that wasn't black was being treated the same way as Shilpa, would it get as much press attention? No.

How could they 'treat' Jo? Make fun of her accent? She isn't from a completely different culture. And lets face it, who gives a damn how offended people in Britian are - were an ignorant bunch of tossers.

this story is gettin a lot of media attention around the world thats what c4 wanted by bringing in shilpa

[Bigmouth81]

Its also the bullying. something nheeds to be done..so that next time it won't happen

[zira]

if it takes this to sort bullies out in the school playground then go for it.. personally i think they just want to address this topic to fill their dreary lives and not address more important topics.. i'm not saying bullying is NOT IMPORTANT! by the way

I just used Jo as an example, Cleo, Dirk, or any of the others wouldn't have got the same attention.

And your last statement is rubbish, it proves your ignorance maybe, but there's ignorant people from all sorts of countrys.

This is Big Brother, if people are that bothered DON'T WATCH IT!
Oh my god, how stupid.

Theres been racism on this forum why didn't that get taken to parilament.

Does this really need answering??

Children up and down the country watch big brother. If the standard of behaviour on the TV is what they are seeing, then that is what they will deem acceptable conduct in society. Dont forget, there are thousands if not millions of parents in this great country of ours who use the TV as a baby sitter.

I for one am glad that the more influential aspects of popular culture (big bro) are being discussed on a national scale, regardless of the issue.
