This translates to every area; at work, abroad- like in some places of the world when you see another black personality you breathe a sigh of relief and nod hahah or if you're a terrible person you see them as competition. But anyway my point is it's a bit more deeply rooted than just "we have the same skin colour let's stick together" Deep rooted FOMO "if we're not rooting for eachother who will be"

Not necessarily defending Dylan here, I didn't like him and I think he handled the whole thing terribly but I am just saying I understand.


A look back at bb winners.

Tbf to BB on the winners front.

The UK has a 3% Black population as a whole, so the likelihood then from that 3% to have someone not just audition for Big Brother, but to then be so popular with the public that they win the whole thing is very low, I mean you could argue that they could've had slightly more winners (especially during BB6) with how iconic some of the black contestants were in that year, and Charley Uchea being the star of BB8 (which ironically was still won by a black person anyway) but it's unreasonable to expect black contestants to be getting a similar win ratio to white winners when white people outnumber black people 10x over in the country's overall population.

I mean tbf Asians have only had one BB winner if you include CBB, and they are the second biggest population in the UK with 7%, which admittedly is a poor showing for them that black people are competing at the same level despite not even half of the population numbers in the UK compared to the Asian demographic.
