Do you think Marcus will get evicted due to his racist comments towards Sree?

When he mimicked Sree's accent, is was disgusting.

I felt so strongly against it, that I complained to Ofcom regarding the situation.

I think it was a travesty that he was not ejected from the house and given just a warning.

He even threatened Sree outside of the house, which Alex got ejected for last year.

Will this affect his chances and get him evicted?

[Clockers]

Hope so

[30stone]

lol, its not racist!

The threatening yes he could have possibly, but what he said mimiciming him, no.

And they would have by now so nah they wont.

It was clearly racism.

Imagine if you were working and you talked to another employee like that, mimicking their accent, especially a foreginer.

You'd be sacked instantly.

It's totally unacceptable behaviour.

Rather rude.

But, yes if Marcus is up I definitely think what he did (not Racism!) will get him an extra vote or two.

Yes, but it wasn't racism.

[bettiepage]

He wasn't racist, but people like you who 'over-react' over everything will probably vote him out based on that. Sree gave as good as he got, which is why he's gone, and Marcus is still there.

exactly! Stupid to say that Marcus is a racist.. if he was and had shown it he would of been ejected

[Swayzack]

How can one tell that Marcus Hates everyone with an Indian accent from that one clip...?

[Iceman]

It wasn't racism.

But mocking someone else's accent of the same race is not racism.

Needless to say, Halfwit did not complain about the whole "sonny jim" saga.

However, the only Asian housemate in there was targetted by Marcus. Out of any one in the house, he chose the one person who was Asian.

Sree was obviously very hurt by the comments and said instantly "don't talk in my language".

It's clearly inherent racism, and hopefully Marcus will pay the price.

people mimic accents all the time, it's fun, and not even close to being racist. This whole incident reminds me of how kindergarten children would go cry to the teacher because another child called him a name. The whole thing was taken wayyyy out of proportion and honestly shouldn't have even been recognized as anything sinister they way it's been made out to be.

[yodofrodo]

people always mimick other peoples accents, but when they are foreign and a different colour, everyone goes mad . its political correctness gone mad

so what your saying is its perfectly fine to say whatever you want about white british people and perfectly fine to brand the white british people racists if they say anything about anybody from a different race.
have you ever thought you might be a racist for thinking this?

[Swayzack]

He is... It's always the ones that cry foul that have to talk themselves out of being what they really are.

I don't understand your logic. Me suggesting that Marcus is racist, does not mean I'm racist.

It's called a point of view.

The big difference between both circumstances is that Freddie was not offended. Sree was disgusted.

Marcus shouldve been rmeoved

lol @ Gavin and his letters to Ofcom.

Have you ever actually achieved anything with all these letters Gavin? has anything ever come out of them thats in the slightest bit positive?

Don't stop though, I actually find your posts pure comedy rather then annoying.

Jeez man,the racist card gets thrown about far too much.

[dennissabre]

Why do you feel the need to start threads about writing to Ofcom? Your second tonight.

If big Brother offends you so much,why not just switch it off and do us all a favour?

Did you also complain to Ofcom about the housemates mimicking Freddie's accent?

[Gavin]

My letter to Ofcom about Marcus:
To Ofcom,

I am writing to you regarding Big Brother and the behaviour of the 35 year old housemate Marcus Atkin.

On Friday’s edition of Big Brother, he threatened physical violence against the other housemate Sree Dasari. Sree was shaken by the insult, even telling Marcus that he will “call the police” if such an incident does happen.

I am shocked that Big Brother did not remove Marcus from the house for his comments, because it was clearly in breach of the Big Brother rules. Furthermore, last year Alexandra DeGale was removed from the house for a similar situation, therefore suggesting the same action should have been taken on Marcus.

Secondly, Marcus was racially aggravating Sree by mimicking his accent. In our society today, this sort of treatment is completely unacceptable, and it seems Big Brother has not learned from its mistakes from the 2007 race row.

I am disgusted that Big Brother did not take action against Marcus for his racist comments, and I feel his actions were in breach of broadcasting regulations.

I would like a reply regarding this hurtful matter, which has deeply affected my concern for the wellbeing of the housemates in there.

I hope the investigation carried out results in Marcus being thrown out of the house and for Channel 4/Endemol to be fined for their lack of authority.

Gavin
