Also, it's stupid af casting somebody just because they're black.

Yep, this cast is both age diverse and ethnically diverse

I think it's pretty diverse tbh. A lot more than in previous years.

I'm speaking in terms of nationality (America & Australia), sexuality (three gay guys) and age (four people who are 40+); considering in previous years the 'diverse' housemates were one or two older people, one or two gay people and one American.

Still a disappointing lack of lesbians. BB has cast so many gay men over the years which is great, but I don't know why they can't do the same with gay women

As silly as it sounds I don't think that many women like outing themselves as Lesbians on national TV so they go on the show pretending to be "straight."

So my point is that there probably really is at least one Lesbian in there, but she hasn't outed herself to the public which is her choice of course.

There might be some truth in that, I don't know, but I'd find it hard to believe that it would account for such a massive ratio difference.

Since when did Diversity = race
