Big Brother have been doing it since that ******ing bint Jade ruined the show in 2007, all they do now is find little things to pick up on and make a big issue out of and all it does is making the producers look racist, for even making a difference.

Jade didnt ruin that series Shilpa and Jackson did, Jackson said the only racist thing in that series NOT Jade

This I agree with!

Taking responsibility for your actions is an adult activity

simple denial: deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether
minimisation: admit the fact but deny its seriousness (a combination of denial and rationalization)
projection: admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility by blaming somebody or something else.

and this!

I have to ask, if they were not being racist, what was the warning issued for?

And agree again! (Chuff, it was the attack on another forum member I didn't agree with, no need to get personal with posters on here).

2 reasons I believe

1) Possible chance of offending Indian viewers by being stereotypical
2) Verbally singling out Deana - the comments were made to be insulting

I thought Ashleigh's comment 'Wanid to giv her a ****ing spoon' to be very ignorant.

I thought Ashleigh's comment 'Wanid to giv her a ****ing spoon' to be very ignorant.

But does Ashleigh actually grasp British culture, let alone anyone else's? Personally I don't think for a moment she does.

Example: I used to work with adults with learning disabilities, each week we used to take a group for sewing classes at an elderly centre. The 'golden oldies' used to segregate themselves from the one's with LD's, even making them line up after they had queued for food! One day, an elderly lady approached us, it wasn't that she was being against anyone with disabilities, she just didn't understand through lack of education, blame a generation or whatever. The elderly lady became good friends with the people I looked after and genuinely cared for each and every one, and involved her friends. It was just something she'd not known about when she grew up.

Ashleigh isn't far off the mark either from my example. Should her parent's have educated her more with regard to social skills, oh yes! I grew up in a tiny mining village, where 99.9% were white folks. My children were taught to respect life, not the colour of skin. IMO, it's all about education in socialisation, first and foremost. But it cuts both ways.

I completely agree with what you just said Bev, and I think that explains her ignorance because she doesnt have a clue about much.

I dont think they meant anything too malicious in what they said, but in a way BB is teaching them things
