You're really not going to get far if you're using CBB5 as an example of race relations in the UK. Like, I'm actually floored.

i thought i had you on ignore

It's sad but bbusa is way more racist at the end of the day. IMO.

[Slevin]

i dont think it had anything to do with racism. must have been that 1 or 2 pounds of butter Adjoa put on her toast was the final straw

[Semtex]

Are we the only country which cries racism when a black woman gets evicted from the house?

[Pete.]

Charley Uchea being hated for being argumentative, yet John James and Helen Wood was championed for the same stuff years later

Yesss

I think so.
It is an easy way to play the victim whilst managing to ignore any shortfalls of a housemate.
Its pretty offensive and pathetic really but people that grab for the racism card at every opportunity dont really know any better so you just have to ignore them really.
They dont realise that what they are doing is of detriment to what they think they are trying to defend so while they think they are doing a good thing they really arent.
Their heart is in the right place i suppose but it doesnt make them right far from it infact.

I don't think so. Otherwise Brian Belo wouldn't have won. I think it's more the kind of people they choose.
Mostly the black males are laid back and out to have fun, whereas for some reason the black females are angry and cause endless arguments. Adjoa wasn't that way, but she was pretty boring and had one of the most irritating voices I've heard.

So Adjoa being more entertaining than both of the other nominees shouldn't have counted for anything?

WTF loool.
Was it the long drawn out words that made it almost seem like she couldn't be arsed talking that you found entertaining or the vacant look on her face in the live show that made it look like there was nobody at home??

That's just an opinion, i personally found her more annoying than the other two nominees

If she had been more entertaining, then yes. But personally I didn't find her so. Having said that, very few of the housemates are entertaining.

[ruiphillips]

Using race as the main focus as to why a housemate was hated is stupid.

So it's got nothing to do with their behaviour?

Adjoa digged her own grave. Should've have been more wise not to act like a twat so early on.

[Headie]

I think there's a slight bit of sub-conscious racism that happens with voting, but I mainly put that down to VTE. VTE makes people look for the negatives in people and makes the show more hateful, and people look for any little thing that makes you stand out from the others or not fit in, such as being a bit louder than others or slightly more argumentative

I don't think people realise they do it but it's just subconsciously drilled into people's minds that black girls are stereotypically raging bitches.

Typecasting is also a major reason for this. When was the last time the producers cast a black girl who wasn't stereotypically fierce or sassy? If they could actually cast a black girl with a similar personality to, say, Josie, then maybe a black girl would actually have a chance of surviving an eviction. But if producers keep casting the same types of black girl, then they are ruining their chances before they've even entered tbh

[divergent]

i can imagine the majority viewers/voters of BB being quite xenophobic tbh

[Babayaro.]

The straws have been clutched

[billy123]

The remnants of the weave crew are revolting.
Adjoa was a bore you can clutch at any straw you want but thats a fact.
Have a nice summer

[chuff me dizzy]

Adjoa was kicked out because she is a twat, keep racism out of it please, it makes you look silly and desperate

[Liam-]

If they cast some decent black women for a change rather than the people who live up to a stereotype that's been created, then maybe they'd get further in the show and turn out to be adored rather than being evicted early on.

It's not racism, it's just people dealing with the cards that are being dealt to them by the casting people.

Pretty much what I just posted, couldn't agree more

I agree with this tbh. Well said

[LukeB]

And i'm pretty sure people who actually liked adjoa voted to evict her because they prefer sarah/eileen. When you vote to evict sometimes it's not down to who you hate, fan clubs will vote someone to try and save their favourite.

A lot of overly defensive people in here, if you disagree that's fine but don't stoop low

Isnt making fake racism claims stooping low not giving valid reasons to why she was evicted?
