It is possible to be bothered about both at the same time.

Oh yes I know that - but unfortunately I see many throwing around sexist comments and then getting in a tiss about racist ones. Annoys the hell out of me because it is double standards.

As soon as he said it, I thought 'you disgusting pig'...and I am shocked he hasn't been removed.

He said it so casually and he knew he was on tv...imagine what he says in his own house or the pub or the golf club etc.

Thank you to all who defended the muslims community.This prove we have decent,caring and honest people in the uk who are offended by Ron comment.

All across Europe including UK there are girls and women who wear the Hijab (head scarf) going about their own business not hurting anyone and have their Hijab ripped from their head.Some women were spitted at on their face and some were slapped because they are muslims.In Germany a women was stabbed to death with her unborn baby because she wore the head scarf.

Remember the holocaust, same thing happened to the Jews and millions died.We must not let this happen again to another community.

Ron was wrong to say the joke but I believe he did not realised the offence he will cause and I forgive him for this.

God knows where these "sexist comments" you speak of are coming from.

It was definitely justified.

Islam isn't a race.

It's usually brought up to derail threads.

Are we really comparing the Holocaust to an ex football manager making a comment about a woman wearing a blanket on a reality tv show? really?

Do you think stressed people all run around clucking like chickens or something? Are you a medical professional who can assess who is/isn't stressed on or off a tv show?

If he wasn't stressed before, he certainly will be now.

..I think removing him would definitely be an over reaction..he's hardly a 'disgusting pig' for making a stupid joke...

Every day you see hatred against Muslims..not a day goes past that the daily mail or the SUN prints a story designed to whip up animosity towards muslims.

but his career ended on what you call ' a stupid joke'...the fact he hasn't learned means he must be really thick...really nasty or both.

Exactly, those kinds of jokes don't necessarily make the person saying them racist or evil incarnate but as mentioned by someone else in the thread it does add to society's perception of people and emphasises stereotypes so BB was right to pull him up just to say mind your language, watch what you're saying. He accepted it and moved on.

Stereotyping and name calling female contestants for behaviour not condemned in male contestants happens every year on BB and has happened again with Hazel and Charlotte this year and is blatant sexism. You don't seem to even recognise sexism - yet you condemn Ron for failing to recognise racism. You just proved my point.

karezza · 25-08-2013, 10:16 PM

What has happened to the British sense of humour.

Big Ron to win.

Do you even watch the show? He's had the chat with BB and gotten over it, moved on. As seen by on the latest clips. You're claiming to be inside Ron's head at the moment...

The desperation is blatant.

I think not - just pointing out the obvious double standards that people responsible for them don't want to see.

Ever heard of the term 'uncle tom'...if not check this out..

The phrase "Uncle Tom" has also become an epithet for a person who is slavish and excessively subservient to perceived authority figures, particularly a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people; or any person perceived to be a participant in the oppression of their own group

Not many are calling it racism.

Was he offensively stereotyping a group of people? Yes and he was rightly warned for it.
