If this point is true then Big Brother are creating stereotypes which is not great. I think there have been other black women who have not been like this who were entertaining with out being brash and angry. Makosi springs to mind and i think the black community were happy with this choice.

Agree. Hughie is great and definitely not a stereotype. I think he is a potential winner.

Hate the stereotype. And Gina really was legendary.

Well i personally don't think they should look at peoples 'communities' to select them anyway.Just look at the personalities.Will they be a good housemate?The best ones get through.

People only cry foul at Natalie because she dared to raise her voice once (!) when Ryan and Charlie have been more vitriolic in the past few days. But people are using this as an excuse to hate her and say she's another angry black woman. Lateshya is largely liked too but no one cares about a mile mannered, funny black woman because that's ~out of character~ for BB. No doubt people will find something to pounce on her too like Adjoa last year and she'll of course be evicted before people who have valid reasons to go. To liken Natalie to Pauline that some people are doing is a bit of a joke too.

I think it's a tad reaching to assume people are using it as an excuse to dislike her. From the start she's shown to be pretty stubborn and dismissive of the other housemates opinions, people have valid reason to dislike her that has nothing to do with her skin colour

You make some very fair points here.

I agree. It's all about the personality and actions, not the skin colour.

To answer your question no I don't think that the black community should be a shamed of Natalie or Lateysha just yet.

I do think that us white people should want to disassociate ourselves from Laura and Marco though.

Oh come on if someone like Georgina (sorry Nicky) behaved in the same way as Natalie she would not be being compared to Pauline or Carole or anyone like that.

Black contestants full stop seem to get put under much more scrutiny than the white or Asian Housemates and it's really unfair.

I mean just look at BB5 where Victor only opened his mouth against the annoying twat, and he ended up catching up on Jason and being evicted ahead of him when Jason had been disgusting all series.

Not for me Mock, and I'm sure many others are the same - if someone like Georgina reacted in the same way as Natalie and was so awful to Jayne when she apologised I'd feel EXACTLY the same way.
And I loved Victor and hated Jason....

Oh god day 3 and already people are being accused of disliking a hm because if her skin colour.

It's actually become a bit of a joke on here, if you dislike a woman on the show who happens to be black people twist it into you disliking them because of race. Natalie was an idiot last night, she was obnoxious. I for one don't care what race a person is, if they act like a dick I'll call them a dick.

Happens every year

It works the opposite way too. If you like a black woman you're automatically categorised into the "you only like her because she's black!!!" box too.

or what's your point with naming my favourite as an example
