what exactly happened with that?

[Sunday]

Just read it, what a load of rubbish, all three of them said it and what they said wasnt racist anyway. Jeez, what is this world coming to?

[Sunday]

The emotionally-charged row echoed the race storms that erupted during two previous BB shows.



In 2007, there were calls for the programme to be scrapped after Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, 35, was verbally assaulted by the late Jade Goody.



And BB8 also hit the headlines when posh totty Emily Parr, 21, was sensationally kicked out of the house after using the word “n***er” in a conversation with Charley Uchea, 25.


The latest race explosion happened when Michelle was talking to Victor, 29, gay Brian and “Nasty” Nick Bateman, 42.



Michelle, 29, looked them up and down and said: “It’s blacks and all sorts night tonight.”



As an uneasy silence settled over the house, Brian, 32, tried to make a joke and said: “It’s gays, blacks, villains and divas night.”



Not one of Michelle’s rival housemates complained about either her or Brian’s comments, but BB bosses dragged her in for a telling-off.



Michelle stormed out of the diary room and complained to Brian: “I didn’t say any abusive words. I used the correct terminology and I only said it because you said it and Victor said it.”



Brian replied: “Oh my God, that was just us being silly. We were just joking.


“Michelle, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I wasn’t offended by it because I said it, too. I don’t think it’s that bad.”



Brian was later called into the diary room and warned about his language.



The row led to a debate in the house. Ulrika Jonsson, 43, said: “They want to cover their arses. They can’t have anything upsetting the last series.”



A BB spokesman said: “Brian and Michelle were reminded about the rules regarding unacceptable language.”

Before everyone gets on their high horse about what the world is coming too, please remember that black people themselves don't find being called 'black' offensive. This is what BIG BROTHER perceived to be offensive not what the black population does.

I think most people understand that, they've gone over the top PC and it all goes back to the Shilpa incident imo

Exactly. Ulrika said it best when she said: 'They are covering their arses' that is exactly what it is. I am glad most people understand the difference between someone being overly PC and the wishes of the black population! To say 'Oh you can't say 'black' now' implies that that black people have given instructions for the word to be banned

yeah, absolutely and you're right to highlight that too

How is saying black offensive???

[Livia]

What colour should she have used when referring to black people, exactly? Are we still allowed to refer to white people as white?

“It’s blacks and all sorts night tonight.”

that is infact racist.

Thats rubbish and you know it. If she said anything racist, she would have been booted right out there and then.

No she wasn't. She's Victor's and Makosi's bf. Wait to see the context.
