I wonder if Charley would have been thrown out if she said the word to a fellow black housemate? I get called a Paddy on a regular basis here, but that's never deemed unacceptable. When I could actually take offence to it. |

Of course not, now I'm not racist by any stretch of the imagination. But in a predominantly white multi cultural country, white people will always draw a short straw. |

My comparison to racist jokes explains this. If Chris Rock and Bernard Manning tell the same joke then Chris Rock can get away with it. In my post I point out that it's a double standard. I dont celebrate the use of the word i just feel that a white person who I'd never met before would be taking a big risk if they used that word in front of me.

Well done to Channel 4, it shows they've learnt although I was enjoying Emily but at the end of the day she shouldn't have said what she said.
Will this be shown on the highlights or is it to risque? |

I'm willing to debate it, too. She obviously didn't say it with malicious intent. It's not as if she had any reason to. Big Brother are just taking all pre-cautions as their reputation is in massive danger since CBB. It's just becoming ridiculous. |

What makes me laugh is that there removing contestants in a game show for racism. But where are people to shut down the BNP and white supremicy gangs...
But nope to much to focus on about Evil-Emily and her offensive one woman battle against people of ethnicity different to her. *please not the sarcasm of the last comment* |

You could all read these articles on Wikipedia and see that this argument has been going on for years and will not be settled any time soon it seems:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/***** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloured Yeah I know they're longer than 3 lines so some may not bother reading them, but at least it would stop these arguments going round and round on a constant basis. |

Amy was saying that she didn't think Emily meant it in an offensive way. That, in no way, makes her a supporter of racism. |
