And the legitimate answer is Britain is a predominantly white country. So odds are when you stick 10 people in a house out of 60+ million they're most likely to be white.

My problem is that we cant have a sensible discussion about this issue on this forum.

There's also a thread on this on Ds and if you ignore the jokes there are some sensible comments. There certainly isnt the defensive stance that many on here take. Sad.

Then start a sensible discussion on the topic and forum members will oblige.

But members starting threads saying viewers are racist or questioning why there aren't black people in the house as though it's a requirement will get a defensive response.

If all you want is people saying "yes, I agree with you. Never mind my own opinion" then I'm not interested.

There have been sensible discussion that have all turned to sh*t . During BB8 when a contestant called another the n word this place went into meltdown. There were about half a dozen people perm banned over a couple of days. The comments were disgusting and I dont intend to go thru that again. I dont think there can be a sensible discussion on this subject on this forum.

I do however think its legitimate question that given the 100's of thousands of applicants no black applicant made the final cut.

Erm don't know where you got that figure from.

I believe there were about 20 thousand people applying for BB this year...If that.

It was all done via youtube and sending applications via the internet.

Maybe they just didn't receive enough interesting ethnic applicants?

Last year had Adam, Shivonne and Deana so its just based on personality not race.

Noone complains about the lack of lesbians over the years but when its race everyone goes into overdrive its pathetic.

What others have said. Forget about whether housemates are black or Polish and focus on personality. Nine-tenths of people couldn't care less.
