I think since they have an ex Detective in there as to Dan, they should have asked him, would he have cautioned or arrested Jemima for that comment as being a racist one.
I would safely bet he would say something like not likely.

Awww BD, she didn't put it like that. Someone said Jemima was backed into a corner (Vicky, I think...) and that's how I saw it. Gina called her a racist long before that comment was made. It wasn't the most intelligent thing to say, but she threw it out there as a defence mechanism, I think and I don't believe that makes her racist.

Gina was spoiling for a fight. She decided she was going to bring up the whole thing and make it a racist issue long before Jemima made the "dating white men" comment.

no.

Its completely different from that, not going out with a Monday is in no way offensive to the homosexual community but saying that you would never give a black guy a chance is quit offensive, I didn't really feel aright when she made that comment.

I'm not really a 'fan' of either, but come on now. Jemima didn't say she would "never give a black guy a chance". Let's not put words in peoples mouths. In fact, she did say she fancied the look of Daley, but he was taken and not on the market.

the only people who think it's racist are Gina fans who realize she will be gone soon

but she's not saying that she wouldn't befriend a black man, just that she wouldn't want a romantic involvement. She possibly doesn't want a romantic involvement with lots of others either, the twins for example, but they aren't being offended by it so I don't see why Gina should?

But I just don't see what is wrong with black people that a relationship with them is completely out of the question...

Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't find attractive? I don't generally find blonde men, very dark skinned men and oriental men attractive. So what? That doesn't make me racist and it doesn't mean I wouldn't quite happily have any of those people as friends.

People are so bloody sensitive. Awww she hurt my feelings! Suck it up and get over it.

perhaps she's a bit closed minded, but racist is a touch too far, at least for me.

That's not what she said. She was speaking in regards to what features turn her on sexually. She was not saying she found black people ugly. She was talking about a type of man, his look that turns her on.

Sexuality is inborn, so let's not go there.

I was drawing a comparison about sexual preference, I think you probably know that. So let's not make a mountain out of a molehill.

Not preferring Black Men (or Women) is not racist it comes down to personal sexual preference. The racism card does not apply in this situation.
