We all know that this is on the rise, but does anyone care, indeed we are seeing a rise in hate crimes/bigotry against eastern European migrants. In short anyone regardless of their colour can become victims of racism.

I didnt want Tiffany to win because of her behaviour, not because of her colour.
But lets get a perspective on this, Like all the others that didnt win, shes walked out the
house with a nice fat cheque, and yes like the others she has earned it so well done to her. She will be going home to country where she will be free to spend it, unlike many
others who wont.
Posts like these could potentially set back the cause of equality years, fortunately that wont happen because the majority of the population dont take them seriously, and also dont like the race card being brought when it isnt necessary. CBB really is just a game show.

Firstly most of the crimes committed against Eastern Europeans eg slavery, rape, violence , trafficking are by white people. Bigotry yes, jingoism sure.

Secondly racism isn't just KKK, BNP, EDL violence. It could be in the form of microaggresions.And I for one are glad black and other groups are hitting back and not faint it.
