I don't remember daft minor details but I do remember Alison, Ife, Rachel, Jo weren't hated. They were just inoffensive and stifled by bigger characters in the house.

And now you're getting all pissy about my posts making little comments because you've took the thread off topic.

We WERE discussing why most black women on BB are labelled aggressive, NOT why each and every one of them were evicted.

You're now trying to say people like Melanie from BB1 was labelled aggressive and hated because she was black? Or was it because Mel was a mega-flirt and didn't endear herself to the public? I don't recall her being called aggressive.
Someone who's viewed inoffensive doesn't get destroyed in a vote to evict. Ife had 56.5% against two others, Rachel had 58.5% against two others (the vile John James and Dave at that), and Jo had 39.4% against three others. Rachel and Jo were against all white men too.

I didn't take the thread off topic at all. It's about black women and someone made the point that some people are quick to not like them. And now we're having this discussion.

Yes, Melanie was a mega flirt because she kissed two guys and was single. Meanwhile, Claire had a boyfriend of nine years and the public was pushing for her and Craig to become a thing.

Maybe YOU didn't like Sophie because she "**** stirred," the forum couldn't give enough of a **** about her. It's complete revisionist history on your part.

1) Our original point was about why black housemates are labelled aggressive. The housemates you brought into discussion were not aggressive and were never labelled as such.

2) If you want to discuss why they were evicted then that's an entire separate discussion and probably requires rewatching a series. Simply saying "a black girl lost against 3 white people in a vote to evict therefore the British public are exerting casual racism" is simply not enough.

3) Were Claire and Mel treated differently? I'm afraid you're going to have to present something more substantial if you wish to use this as an example of racism. My memory is telling me Claire wasn't very popular either, was evicted before Mel.

Her eviction doesn't say much, she survived eviction against 3 other white housemates and then lost when she faced 2 of the most popular in the series - Darren and Craig. Craig going onto win it.

And how many episode discussions were you here for last year?

I know what discussions I took part in on this very forum. Please don't accuse me of making things up.

Shilpa getting 18% in a vote to evict is racism?

I think we'll end the discussion there. Thanks for the discussion troy.

Closing this as its gone quite offtopic and is now just pretty much identical to the loads of other 'the public are racist' threads
