I know they were very stupid and didn't know what they were saying but:

Danielle : I think she should **** off home
Jo and Danielle kept going on about the way they eat in India and said it was *disgusting*
Jo: [mimiking Shilpas accent] I wanted tea .... **** off with that going around my head
Jack called her either a P*** or a ******* (channel 4 said he said the latter)
Jo, Danielle and Jade made up a limerick to which the rhyming words rhymed with P*** (was not shown on channel 4 but transcript was released by Ofcom)

The list goes on . Racist? Maybe. Ignorance? YES!

I think it descended into racism but to begin with they just plain didn't like her and they were using her race as a way to demean her in the same way they would if she wore glasses or had braces or was fat... it was like watching a group of bitchy fourteen year olds. As things got more heated, there's no denying it became outright racist abuse, though.
