Every time we get a "the British public are racist" thread on here I mention that Sam is still there... and he's a Jew. So it's hardly an all-white Anglo-Saxon Protestant line-up, is it.

Rachael definitely deserved to go she a bitch
Ife and Rachel didnt deserve to go, especially Rachel she lovely
Jo didnt deserve to go, but she wanted to go and the other 3 wanted to stay so that was a good eviction, Jo even said it herself

Is he a Jew? Thought he said he was half Greek

I read in several places he's a Jew. And he looks like my cousin Joel... who's a right pain in the bum... a bit like Sam.

Anyway, Jew, half-greek, whatever... this whole racist thing is ridiculous, bearing in mind there have been black winners in the past.

Congratulations.

why do racists like you have to bring colour into everything.


what did Jo do that she didnt desrve to get booted out on Friday or are you saying that we are only allowed to vote out the white inmates

[Parmy]

I do believe the right housemate went in all votes so far this year, however I can't help but wonder if john james had been black and argued as much as he does he would have been evicted already.

I think if John James weren't quite so pretty he would have gone, whatever colour he was.

Exactly my point, he would of been given the angry black man stereotype and would be out within weeks.

You do know that Ife was adopted and brought up by a WHITE mother right?

So, by your *reasoning* she should have won.

Actually it is a little known rumour that John James was born an aborigine. But *in those days* there was a lot of pressure in Aussieland to become white so his family got him changed.

John James.

Congratulations.

Your OP post and attitude is racist.

Why are you only concerned about black people being in the BB house? And how black people are treated?

You have completely overlooked Asians (all groups), Aboriginals, middle eastern and other racial groups.

You show your ignorance and racism by assuming that race discrimination can only occur between 'black and white' and that you do not give equal value to all racial groups in your post.

[flamingGalah!]

Can I just ask if those screaming racism are themselves black?

One thing that should be mentioned is that Black people can also be racist. It is commonly known that racism against Asians can commonly occur in Black communities, and vice versa.

To assume one race can be racist and others aren't is just daft.

Yes I know, that is kinda why I wanted to know if those protesting were black...

Surely it could also be argued that those white housemates that have been evicted could have been voted out by black people??

I suppose the fact that there are only 2 women left in the house surely shows that the British public are also sexist, as well as racist etc...

I also find the comments about the UK being more racist than the US totally ridiculous... The UK has to have one of the most diverse multi-cultural mix of people living in any country... Even in parts of the US where there are large black communities there is an abundance of racism & great cultural divides between the black & white communites... Hurricane Katrina anyone...

DOes it matter? Naturally, most will not be white, as there are about 5 black people on this forum!

BUt to answer your question, I am one of them, I am black!

THat would have some merit if the OP ever said, he thought Black People were never racist. That would have some merit, if the OP e ver said, that asians arent discriminated agaisnt! The fact is, he didnt!

WHen you are talking about this specific instance, the only thing he can talk about, is how the black housemate are conceived, by a majority of White voters. What des racism of balck people , or towards asians have anything to do with this?

And even if they were racist, it doesnt mean the OP cannot question the leaning of the voters in this situation. As thats what the subject is about.


The funny , and sad thing is most people arent able to discuss this subject, or are extremely defensive about it! Its not a big of a deal, or anything to be uneasy about. Its a thing that happens, and raising awareness towards it, is the way to combat it. Most racially biased votes are done subconsciously. I am sure most people dont pick up the phone and go, right, I am going to vote to evict that Black housemate. Its something that you do mopst of the time, instinctively. And if its pointed out to you, acting all offended, and brushing it under the carpet, is the worst thing you can do.
UNfortunbately, its too common in the UK, whenever you bring up the subject, thats exactly the reaction you get, denial, and indignation!

YOu know why you think that? Exactly because of my point. They are actually able to talk and acknowledge racism, in most places. Of course it exist, the difference is, people arent shy about talking and having discussions. Which is exactly whats lacking in this situation, and thats why you think its not a problem. Because its diverse, you think its not racist? LOL!
Have you seen how those so called multi communities are segragated around here? Everyone stays in their area. I know for a fact its not like that in most of the US. They encourage integration a lot more. There are of course cases where its not, but whats more important, is people take an active role in trying to remedy that! They have made more progress when it comes to race, than any modern country in the past 10 20 years. ITs not happenning here from my observations. And Ive seen both sides. Ive lived both sides, and I dont go with one element in the press like Hurricane Katrina. I go with what Ive seen!

Anyways, this debate is never ending, because people dont want to hear it, so I will just leave it at that, and hope some actually learn something from it.

[StGeorge]

If the 5 Black HMs were voted out because they were Black then the OP and others would have a case. But its not exactly easy to determine the reasons why the voting public binned them, one can only speculate.

IMO:

Rachael was voted out due to being a Diva and for sh1tstirring.
Govan was voted out due to being a sh1tstirrer.
Ife was voted out due to being a drama queen.
Rachel was voted out due to being a loud scouser.
Jo was voted out due to being abit of a know all agony aunt and then throwing a hissy against Corin.

I dont see them being Black had anything to do with it.

[THE WATCHER]

Not racist at all, as the UK is so multi-cultural, its unfortunate that those HMs were evicted. We still have a true foreigner though, Roo, perhaps C5 will have better rules, UK ONLY, born and bred and living in UK to qualify. All other countries do so we should, no more Canadians, Yanks, Aussies, Spanish, Portugese, UK only in UK BB House, of ALL colors

You say you've lived both sides of the Atlantic, but your post doesn't make it seem like that. You're trying to quantify racism. You're trying to say the UK is more racist than the USA. That is not my finding. Wander round New York for any length of time, and I don't mean Manhattan, and you'll see that ethnic groups stay pretty much in their own communities much like they do in London and other places in the UK. It's the same in Chicago, it's the same wherever there is a diverse population. There is just as much racism in the USA as there is anywhere, and if you don't believe that, have a look at their statistics on the ethnic background of their prison population.

This thread though, was created for an argument. It intimates that the WHOLE of the British public are racist against black people. That is simply not true. For the record, if I had to choose from personal experience the most racist place I've ever been, the place where social and ethnic divides are the greatest I've ever seen, it's India.
