I tweeted this and was waiting for somebody to pick this up on TiBB because Ive made quite a few threads tonight but nobody has so I shall

Gina several times remarked on Jemima's age and how she should 'behave' tonight, and BB allowed this to slide by without warning (or at least showing a warning) of this to Gina. Or if they dont want to use the term 'ageist' at least give her a verbal spanking for being offensive if they must warn Jemima over ridiculous things.

Dont you think? BB acted very unfairly.

[Jake.]

Gina should have given her a warning for her behaviour in general. Why should somebody be allowed to victimise somebody, accusing them of racism and what not and get away with it with zero repercussions. BB should have either given both a talking to or neither. But good thread Jords.

[Jords]

Thank you Jakey

[Jake.]

No worries Jords! And you'd think that given Gina's age, she'd grow up a bit and stop acting like a child. Will be interesting to hear about how she lasts in the real world once her mothers credit card dries up.

If GINA a BLACK woman felt offended then she has the right to say so. Neither of them should of got warned it was just stupid and didn't need bb to get involved.

[Jords]

Gina is black?

[Jake.]

The right to say so? Yes I agree. The right to go around the garden labelling her as a racist? No, she didn't.

[armand.kay]

This thread is petty and several seats are required.

[Withano]

Wouldn't being ageist sound more along the lines of "I hate you because you're old, you're incapable of doing things because you are old" She was only saying that an elder lady should act more mature because of her age etc.

[iRyan]

I'm sorry Jords but this thread is just plain silly. Are you actually being serious?

[Jake.]

Not seeing how it's petty, Jords has a valid point

Was Jemima walking around labelling Gina as a racist?

Exactly my point lol surely if Jemima was being racist she would say "I wouldnt date a black man because I hate black people"

[Jake.]

Honestly if I was accused of being a racist by somebody over something like that I'd lose it lol

Oh. Good point. I'll just sit in a corner and reread stuff.

But Jemima basically said you're black therefore you probably wouldn't date a white guy

Can you imagine the complaints if Big Brother ignored this. People just like to complain.

[Jake.]

She didn't really lol, she was talking about taste and what her preference generally is.. her comment to Gina was a bit ignorant and unneeded but it's all about context

I agree with Vicky on this one in the poll thread about whether Jemima should have been warned or not. Jemima was backed into a corner and was trying to argue that she isnt racist (which must be really nasty to be accused of) and it just didnt come out well.

I get why they warned her, but I dont agree with it. I would have been more satisfied however if Gina was also warned, she was accusing Jem of something that could really blow out horribly on exiting the house.

This 100%. It's such a damaging accusation.

If they ignored it how long do you think it would take for the hags and journalists to take it out of context and put Big Brother in the newspaper claiming another race row.

They're just saving their back against the temperamental, pessimistic fans who complain at every opportunity.

See my thoughts in the other thread.

Basically, if the accusation can ruin somebody's life, the FALSE accusation or wielding of such power in a frivilous or ruinous manner should have similar repercussions.

As it stands right now, idiots can go around just branding innocent people "RACIST!!!!!1!!!" and destroy people's lives.

They are abhorrent.

Oh no I agree with you and get why they had to give her a warning, I'm just saying that given the context they shouldn't have had to but yeah, there would be a right fuss
