I don't, in fact I know people don't because hundreds of thousands of people joined multiple Facebook groups a couple of years ago about turbans and posted negative comments about the Muslim community and I often stumble across people who on their raging criticism of Islam like to mention turbans

A lot of people don't know the difference and aren't interested in the difference either, it's a different culture...therefore they don't like it. Media depictions don't help matters either

If you were to ask most members of the crowd what religion Pav belongs to, I'd bet money the majority would say Islam

[armand.kay]

For those suggesting that racism is above the bb audience pls explain ehy someone like hira was booed because idgi.

[Marc]

Because he's too sure of himself. He'll be gone soon

[Brother Leon]

Not sexy enough.

[Kazanne]

I really like pav,hope he gets better edits this week,he looks like someone who has his head screwed on.

[Pete.]

People are finally defying against the bores

[Brooklyn]

Yeah, I don't really understand the boos either. Seems a decent guy.

Good point. She was a sweet, funny and harmless.

[CaudleHalbard]

I always thought that black guy, Brian Belo, should have won, over those white twins....

....... oops, I forgot............... he did!

[Futaba]

I was surprised by the cheers for Ash, as well.

Honestly I really don't like the crowd at all and I wish the'd just get rid of it...

[CaudleHalbard]

Yes, the crowd should be evicted from all future BB series. Just an annoyance now.

[Achilles]

We don't live in a country where the vast majority of people are tolerant and open minded about other cultures. That is just a fairy tale people like to believe in to make themselves feel better.
But, Pav was not booed just because he is a Sikh, he was booed because crowd can either cheer or boo, 1 of 2, they cheer for Zoe, boo for Biannca and decide boo for Pav. He hasn't done anything of note to deserve cheers or boos, so

[CaudleHalbard]

I don't believe Pav was booed because he's a Sikh. I think he was booed because he came over as a bit full of himself in his VT.

Why do people do such awful VTs? They rarely live up to their promises!

[Black Dagger]

He's not attractive enough as a male tbqh.

But he can have the boos for not getting Steven out now

Hira: I immigrated from Pakistan to England and feel so blessed to be able to life my life in this beautiful country ^_^
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sylvia: I'm from Sierra Leone and there's a civil war going on so I'm so thankful I can seek refuge in this great country
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yup.

Rachel Rice was booed and she was white and she won.

Making out Hira was booed because she wasn't white is clutching at straws. Virtually every housemate is booed going in and coming out since about BB7.

Incorrect. Another poster (is it you? ) made these claims a few weeks ago and I rewatched those clips from launch night and Sylvia had a couple of faint boos whilst walking into the house (as 99% of housemates do, black or white) and there was no noise at all when she mentioned Sierra Leone.

Try harder next time.

[Black Dagger]

Goddess Rice getting booed was a travesty.

Bet Luke paid the crowd.

[psychtracker]

Yeah, i thought the Boos were ridiculous as well. True, he hasn't done much..but, he's not had much chance. We've seen barely any footage of Zoe..less than Pav..i'd suggest (and she's done nothing special), but gets rapturous applause & cheers!!!

[chuff me dizzy]

I thought that last night,even felt a tad sorry for him,but after today he can piss right off

[abhorson]

Spent a whole pound on saving him. Worth it to see SB evicted.

But no more now. Call me fickle.

I'll address these points accordingly,

A white person receiving a mixed reaction does not automatically rectify a ton of other colored people being booed, I don't know what you're trying to prove. White people can get booed too? Nobody was disputing that.

"Virtually every housemate is booed going in and coming out since about BB7" is such a gross exaggeration I'm not going to address it.

The boos for Sylvia weren't faint but okay.

[chuff me dizzy]

oh ffs the racism card is being flashed around

Just because he got booed, quite agree.

All too easy. Nearly everyone gets boos. On all polls Pav did not fair well so boos were expected at the crowd pantomime.

[Razor]

Because he doesn't deserve cheers, so they boo instead.
