Saira situation is very different, she is integrating with the young ones but she's doing it by analysing them and patronising them...she has rubbed them up the wrong way and the three lads weren't picking on her in the kitchen, they were telling her how they feel about it....something she does all the time with everyone else...she just doesn't like it done to her

Marnie is a whole different thing and her situation with Saira was disrespectful, distasteful and offensive. And people who defend her while at the same time attack the boys are hypocrites. Marnie was humiliating Saira on purpose...the boys were just reacting to Saira by engaging in a conversation.
