That little bitch craig made a racist remark and so did maxwell today. I used to see people like this in my school and they are exactly the same. Me being someone of colour, I would always try and be social and could speak to a lot of people and break barriers. I would have all to gain, while they have nothing to lose except a good person, and there would always be the little groups that shut themselves away. But I don't hate anyone, just the people who are racist and trying to keep barriers between us and distance themselves because of colour. Not blaming anyone, I have to live a harder life and don't fit into society as much as I would like to, and I appreciate the people here who understand with an open mind. Its bulls#it, we shouldn't let idiots like maxwell, saskia, craig or anthony have what they don't deserve. To this day, I have heard them all say something really stupid and narrow minded. The thing with saskia and BNP is mad too, she is quarter asian, just shows how stupid, twisted and ignorant she is. They are all wannabes who follow what they see and hear, it's pathetic!. We all need to move forward, love eachother and try to socially accept eachother as much as we can before ignorance. Peace!

nope not rasist at all, the others are boring and bitchy! the foursome are all funny and get on better with eachother than the rest of the group!

I Disagree . Life can be equally hard for all races . I'm half-arab and lived in a predominanatly black and asian area and believe me , some of them bring their "hard life" on themselves by dropping out of school to become a gangsta and deal crack then they wonder why they're not welcomed with open arms when they go for a job .
You see because my mothers white I see both sides of the coin , people do tend to speak out for their own kind except white people (they feel as though they have to walk around on eggshells when the issue of race/asylum/terrorism...etc... crops up , and those that speak their mind get branded racist). Well I don't have a "kind" and I'll say it as I see it , all races are as capable of racism , all can have a hard life , all can be discrimminated against .But as far as the general attitude to race goes in society these days , things have never been more fair and equal , and for people to still be making out life's harder for minorities in this day and age is ridiculous .
Let me tell you , I'm certainly glad I'm not living in the middle east where my ancestry lies or I'd have been on trial and possibly executed for leaving my religion (I was supposed to be a muslim ) , and Africa is rife with poverty , AIDS , and famine .

Any black , arab or asian living in Britain is lucky to be here and thats the bottom line , so lets cut the s**t.

BTW -
The BNP aren't actually a racist party , it's just that their policies attract racists because their politics fit their agenda (perhaps not perfectly).

I know Sikhs and even blacks who voted BNP .
From what I can gather the papers made them out to be worse than they are . Don't believe everything you hear .
George Galloway's RESPECT party are worse because their followers are a bunch of jew hating , islamic extremists , yet that a***holes on TV all the time.

[Romantic Old Bird]

Not sure about all these instances.

HOWEVER one thing I have seen and heard from Team Maxwell which was blatant racism was Anthony's comment to Derek when he called him 'Malteser head'.

Now I know there are now white maltesers as well, but I am in NO doubt the reference was racist. This was follwed shortly afterwards by a lot of semi-whispers about 'what they were thinking but weren't allowed to say' to describe him. They then did say them to each other and it was blanked out by BB.

This was a few nights ago and OH and I were stunned that they weren't called in to the diary room and warned about their behaviour.

[hass]

no his head is just shaped like a malteser, i dont think he meant that to be a racist comment myself!

Exactly , it's not racist if anything it's chocolatist .

If he'd have said it about science it wouldn't make sense , and it doesn't apply to all blacks just Derek 'cos his head does look like a Malteser . just like if someone called Maxwell "white Malteser head" it wouldn't make sense but with Marco from BB5 it would .

Do you get me???

Nowt to it mate .
Just chill!!!

[hass]

and if he said white malteser head then that would of been rasict because hes stating the colour lol

[Yoshimi]

Yeh but malteasers are a good thing right? So why's it racist. If she said you're a coffee cream head.. fair enough thats insulting - no one likes those things!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry, I still think it was a racist comment. Especially as their conversation continued along the same vein.

[Yoshimi]

yeh I was just trivialising... its borderline. Maxwell does seem the type to like "Jim Davidson" style "blue/racist" jokes

[hellohello]

when sas said that when she smelled her breath she was saying that everything coming out her mouth is bulsh**

[Kore]

omg its idiotic how people could think it was a racist comment. it blows my mind

[shawzer]

kore maxwell is the most boring housemate in there apart from vannessa all he do is sit down all day and moan about cider

[Kore]

hes one of the most entertaining tbh.

[JL]

The only racist type thing I rememer was Maxwell and Roberto's little squabble, I think Maxwell said something to Roberto like, "All your ever saying is mamma mia" and some other stuff in an italian accent which wasn't really fair coz italians are gorgeous anyway!

[Kore]

and when makosi made fun of all football fans, branding them all hooligans.
maxwell wasnt stereotyping he was talking to roberto, and not to italian people in general.

Ok, I understand what you are trying to say. But I can't help to think you really don't understand and some of what you said is ignorant. The truth is, you are mixed english/arab and most likely you will be light skinned and accepted more by your looks more than some other people. You have nothing attached to your looks and most likely fit in the same way as saskia(being quarter asian, but it would never arise as she seems like she could be english) would. I am not saying any race is better than another, I am just stating facts. Me being a different race, means I have to work a bit harder to get my place in a job someone else has easier access to, and then I would have to keep up the hard work to please my manager. Aswel as convincing I am far from the stereotype and having to prove myself to people who might think I look like a 'gangster'. Everyone can have a hard time, but to fit into society and working class it's hard for people like me. And I'm not complaining, I choose to live here, thats just the way it is. And I'm sorry, but we don't all have the same education as you do so please don't look into something and make comments when you are not actually a full witness to it. I have family members that were smart and tried to finish school too, but failed like me, not because they wanted to be 'gangstas' like you say, but because the education system let me and them down in our area, so they found selling drugs was a reliable option for them after being turned down from numerous jobs. It really is easy for someone to criticize and claim they know exactly what is going on inside the bubble they see on front of them. But the truth is, you never will know until you are inside that bubble experiencing it, as it is completely different to what you thought. I am not trying to argue or anything with you, I am just hoping you understand there is more to being a man with skin colour than wanting to be a 'gangsta'. We choose from our options, and sometimes, there is no option but the reliable one which we have to resort to. Anyway, I would go on for ages, so I will have to stop. The only race i favour, is the human race. Peace to everyone!!

[Sunny_01]

I knew this would happen - it was only a matter of time before the race card was played. At the end of the day we are all people and so are the HMs - does it matter what has gone before us to allow us to have the lives that we have now. Yes we have to respect history a lot but we dont have to live it!

I think that to be honest they are just from complete oppostie backgrounds and have generated to the ones that they are most like. I know I woul probs do the same.

At the end of the day you can only like who you like and no-one can make you do any different and we can no like everyone in this world now can we!

[hass]

At the end of the day

you have caught it LoL

[GlitterEyes]

Im 50/50 on this . I think Makosi, Kemal and Vanessa stick together and play on their colour alot aswell as their backgrounds but I think science & derek are very much free spirits in the house. I dont think anyone is racist as such but i think the public will be slightly racist and vote for the saskia, max, ant and craig group. Big brother has mixed alot of ethnics in this year and it has formed bonds...but more with the Makosi group. I dont think Ant is racist but i think he just tries to be 'funny'.

[JessRF]

No it's not to do with racism. In Makosi's group are all the ones that like to bitch and that is what split them. They then chose Craig because he was willing to have a laugh and be picked on by Anthony and Maxwell. I don't think they even noticed that they were the only full white people there and in their group. I notice that it's always the black people that bring up the issue and make a deal. Plus do you ever see white people acting like Science, it is always those black rapper types that are loud, intimidating and refuse to socialise.

[stoney12]

"Try Big Brother Zimbabwe,love you might do better on there"Craig,live streaming,sunday night just before being birdied out.A racsist comment.

[selfinflicted]

Oh dear, oh deary me. It looks like the left wing establishment have succeeded in their mission to brainwash people in the west and turn them all into 'right-on' pc thought police, scrutinising every non-ethnics words and actions, waiting for any slightly non-pc comment so they can jump up and shout their favourite word - "RACIST".
I wonder who really suffers from racism in Britain today? What with ethnic quotas in all kinds of industries and public services, guaranteeing non-whites get preference and are hired over higher-qualified whites. There has just been a prosecution in the met police whereby three white officers who were hung out to dry and 'made an example of' won a case of unfair dismissal. In other words, a modern day witch hunt took place.
I read daily of 'ethnic' gangs of Asians or blacks terrorising, mugging and raping almost exclusively white passers by. Nobody utters a word. Sure, there are many white gangs who do the same. But contrast the coverage in the media of the Stephen Lawrence or Damilola Taylor cases, with that of Kriss Donald, Lee Walker, Michael Swindells, Gemma Atkinson, Stuart Watt etc etc, all murdered in racist attacks, but virtually ignored in our corrupt, bias media. I bet you've never heard of any of them.
Our left wing schools are brainwashing our children to believe that any white achievements in history were 'evil' while glossing over any savage or barbaric behaviour from our 'ethnic brothers'.
Meanwhile, people like science, the most arrogant, braindead example of a stereotype since Victor last year, walks around wailing that lifes not fair. The guy has a chip the size of Belgium on his shoulder. Learn some humility mate, realise that big egos are not attractive traits to have, and then maybe people will treat you with your much sought after, but little deserved, "respeck".
