I'm a dumb white blonde male, Aussie beer drinking convict, who can frequently be seen riding the city streets on my pet kangaroo (when i'm not surfing Bondi, or stuffing my belly full of vegemite sandwiches!)..

As far as the black men having big *****. That's a just genetic fact, and most people (particularly women), seem to see it as a positive!

I'd just be worried of political correctness going so far that we can't EVER have a joke about our differences. Because when we lose humour and the ability to take the piss out of ourselves and each other, i feel it makes for a rather dull and sterile society.

Tell that to Aaron, maybe that will turn the frown upside down

I agree. But i tend to believe that it was more Aaron 'game playing theatrics', than serious dismay at the joke. He's a reasonably intelligent guy, i'd doubt he would be that shocked!

Been considering the same thought And the Cupcake massacre?

tweetypiebabe1 · 13-10-2011, 08:52 PM

It's because all the things people are talking about aren't shown on the HL show so the majority of the public won't understand or find any warrant in these complaints or calls for removal.

Personally, I don't know where I stand but I clearly don't speak for everyone.

Jay likes casual racist jokes because the jokes about black men who deviate from 'white man' ideal. And if you dare to challenge this white able bodied heterosexual men often say 'oh, you can't take a joke, it's just banter' etc.

People cant make jokes anymore, I am from the US and sensitivity towards races, sex, creeds, religion, weight and physical attributes are at an all time high. People shouldn't take things so seriously. It's ok to laugh at each other once in a while, the things that make us different are hilarious, stereotypes exist because they are true most of the time and funny! We should embrace our differences and celebrate them and not take it so darn serious all the time!

It's irrelevant whether it's a positive stereotype. Another so called positive racial stereotype is that black people are good at sport. I am not. This whole blacks can only do sport/ music is lazy, offensive as it reduces the cerebral qualities of black people eg I have a 1st from the best Uni in GB, so I intensely dislike being pigeon-holed as being sporty. I prefer rock music and hate R n B/ rap, but I am still black.

Jay should be thrown out for repeatedly making threats, urinating on Mark and coffee, pooing in freezer and racist jokes

Emily (BB8)got ejected - she made a racist though there was no malice - less offensive than Jay

Alexander (BB9) was evicted for making threats and gun gestures

Dennis (BB9) spat at Mo.

Kenneth Tong (BB10) was basically forced to jump the wall before he was ejected after he made threats.

I like Jay until I found out about the Poo in the freezer, now I am digusted and shocked that they tried to keep this hidden from the public.

Seriously though there's stereotypes for most groups of people, Women are bad drivers (gggrrrr) Men hate shopping, Irish people love drinking........ the list goes on, it's just a fact life, Black people are no more stereotyped than other people to be fair.

Exactly. Try living with ginger hair.

Yes but how do we know it is true. Where is this freezer?
Mark's escapades since he left the house have been gross so it is hard to say which one was causing these antics.

Why do people leave out the compliments. I understand that Irish women are the most beautiful in the world. I did not say that, Walter Raleigh said that before 1603.

It's a fair point Yayita but it's not a perfect world unfortunetly, and Gay people, Women, Ethnic people, do have struggles to overcome, which are unique to them. But yes everything works better if you can joke about it.

The freezer is in the Storeroom. and 3 ex Hm's have confirmed it happened.

You'll be glad to know the Freezer was steam cleaned afterward

I would have thrown it out and gotten a new one, that is waaaay to gross!

You would think they could stretch to a new Freezer right! Maybe they want to make sure it's not a habit of Jays before allowing him access to a virgin fresh one.

Housemates shouldn't be thrown out for having opinions. If they're racist, let their fellow housemates and the voters get rid of them.

There is no reason to think Jay is Racist, the joke was not offensive to any minority. It's just hype

It's no more harmful then the stereotype that black men are well hung, that's the point.
