Seen as Big Brother has been a crock of ****e since they started casting 98% white reality stars Love Island types, it's gone down the pan.

People with different cultures makes the show and entertainment. Don't knock it.

Plus you're forgetting there's a lot of racists about who think Africans are savages so this raises awareness that Africa is a place of culture.

Yeah I think (especially in the climate we're in right now) alot of people fear anything/anyone who is different and maybe don't understand. This can only be a positive I think and especially how it seems Deborah is being so well received as well by the public

Exactly!

This show has quite a different viewer base than Love Island too, it tends to have more old people watching (such as my gran) who tend to have more socially conservative views...

She loves Deborah/Hannah lmao

[smudgie]

Their entrance was amazing, the clothes they wore suited them perfectly.
Culture wise they are no different to many British girls, apart from the odd lapse into an accent.
I don't see what the fuss is about, all housemates represent themselves, and themselves alone.
As to them being Nigerian, of course they are, they come from Nigerian parents.
It's like saying Cliff Richard or Joanne Lumley and many many more people born abroad aren't British.

Who's been racist ? aren't you supposed to be commenting on housemates? What question do you need answering ?

I am talking about housemates. The sisters have been accused of being racist and the question has been asked numerous times, how have they been racist.

But you continue to jump on my posts there. Work away.

She's asking when have the sisters been racist, someone suggested they had been

She was pretty much just saying she's not in it for the money she's in it to show her culture in a positive light because it hasn't been done on tbis show before

she is there for the money though, she confirmed herself she would be happy to leave early on if she was offered cash..so lets not try and paint her as something she isn't that said I would be happy with her winning..

tbf Hannah has brought out the race card more than once, when she was fake evicted she immediately said something about it all happening to them, she takes no responsibility for just not being that likeable.

There's a difference between using the race card and being racist.

But you know that.

Doesn't make her racist (I'm not saying you said that but doesn't answer the question to how they are racist)

she is assuming that she is being targetting for her race which is a wee bit racist/chip on shoulder mentality

She's probably experienced racism in her life so when she feels ganged up on it feels like how she's felt before
And she hasn't brought it up in weeks and didn't mention it last night

Tbh I think Sukvinder was stirring that in the 1st few weeks because there hasn't been mention of it since she went.

Suki was continually bringing up the fact that they were black and stirring the pot.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Hannah I just hate the racist word being thrown around by either side.

Not that you did but OP certainly did.

[Northern Monkey]

To be fair to Deborah she was put on the spot and had to think of something.Probably quick thinking and a smart move to whip out the culture card.I don't mind Deborah.She seems nice and quite amusing at times.Much nicer than her awful sister.

[reece(:]

And you wouldn't show your culture if you went in?????

And to say this is racist is just low.

Well I don't know if it would be deemed racist but they have said a few things that seem to alure to their colour,when really most people dont see the colour just their actions and personalities.so maybe the poster meant that,I dont know

i said earlier that they had played the race card ... which they have, on several occasions. 2 times I can specifically remember was in an argument with Rebecca and another when they were chosen for nomination or something

The sisters are the only 2 that think there are racist undertones in the house, everyone else is unaware of it but it seems to suit their agenda. They are playing a good game but their reasons to be in the house are purely financial and fame related. Citing showcasing their culture is a crock and so plain to see through it.

[Jedman]

I can't stand them, always pulling the race card whenever their nominated or anyone questions there actions.

Acting like there on some holy mission or something, when they have shown some of the worst behaviour in the house.

Get them out!!

[chuff me dizzy]

Why can't they have just gone in as 2 girls ? why bring their colour and place of birth ( one is English ) into the BB house ? no need for it whatsoever

[Shaun]

In the Rebecca example, Rebecca was the first person to bring up race in her argument about makeup/employment with Sukhvinder.

Don't even recall Rebecca having a disagreement with either of the sisters but I guess we're just inventing stuff at this stage of the series.

People have a serious problem with talking about other cultures. They seem to just want it to go away and never be talked about, or accuse them of "shoving it down our throats". Says more about them, really.
