Default It's all about context

I think BB were right to warn Ashleigh and Scott re the offensive comments about Deana.

If they had been having a serious conversation and made an ignorant remark about eating with hands etc it would have been deemed just that, an ignorant remark but the two of them were laughing and making fun of Deana.

Absolutely disgraceful, I can't understand some young people, it's almost like they don't live in our multicultural society. There is no excuse!

Didn't Jo, on that infamous Celebrity BB make similar comments about Shilpa?

You're spot-on and yes, of course they were right to give them warnings.
The vast majority of those who think otherwise just happen to be on an anti-Deana tirade so it suits their cause to claim that poor little Ashleigh and Scott were falsely accused and hard done by.
They got off lightly if anything!

-3 Load of tosh. They wouldnt know how to be hurtful as they are inbreeds with no morals and see everyone as an idiot. Dont blame them for their afliction, blame the producers for picking on them to pacify the Golden girls fans, aka the killer queen. Then you can go back and blame the way our schools and society have brought these ingrates up. In my day if you did anything wrong PC plod would clip your ear or the teacher caned you. I grew up with respect for authority. Nowadays you only need to look at our streets and read the papers to see whos right and whos wrong. Dont get me going, I will burst a blood vessle.

I don't think there was anything wrong with what they said either....
The way they said it maybe, however lauren was stereotyping when she dressed in adams clothes?....

The things you write about make it obvious that you are not a young person. But the context of your posts generally make me think that although you are mature in age, you are in fact extremely immature when it comes to your personality.

Perfectly said and exactly why the world is the way it is today. Too soft.

It wasn't ignorance, Ashleigh knew what she was talking about. Instead it was picking up on a cultural practice and saying it in a snidey derogatory way which therefore makes it racist.

BB were correct to address the comment and they done so in the right way.

It needed a light reprimand but I cannot resist a comparison with a previous incident which received an even lighter reprimand.
Conor, in a massively deliberate show of violent temper, threatened sexual violence and vicious reprisal with no mitigating circumstances at all.

Ahh yes, the good old days. Back when you could see a quite legal sign in the windows of pubs and B&Bs "No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish". Happy days, eh?

Just when it seems like you couldn't possibly post anything more ridiculous than your last post you plumb new depths of the ridiculous!

People like yourself are trying your hardest to ruin this forum for the rational amongst us and it's such a shame. I really hope you don't succeed!!!
