It's hard to not notice that black women, more often than not, get a rough deal on BB.

I don't think Nicola would have survived the vote if she was black and Stacy would have likely stayed if she was white.

FFS I can't believe this thread. If you look at the recent black women who have been evicted, they are often quite similar, and American and fairly unknown here (in BB - not in life, before someone lynches me lol). Anyone who happens to be black (or other) and happens to be nice have done well generally. tbh I think there's a lot of people who would love to see Nicola up for eviction and gone! We've just not really had a chance, especially with VTS.

Why do they get all the stereotypes its not fair.

Quick question though, if i or any fm were to syereotype geordie lasses or scots etc would that receive an infraction?

Really!...what about civilian bb when the hms are unknown and dont already have a following...then go to wikipedia and compare how many stayed over a white chick when it was one on one...dont come back and say makosi did either cause it eas just her amazing amazon booty that kept her in.

Depends on the context I guess, if it was really insulting then yeah but if it was something like Oh you're Irish you must like Potatoes then no (mostly cos that's true )

Was thinking more in the way of Brian Belo who I certainly didn't know before BB, and Shilpa who came across as lovely, and there was Darren (BB1) and Alison (daytime telly). tbh, I don't notice or care about colour, I care about if I like them! If they were sky blue pink with red spots, it wouldn't change my opinion. Makosi was a nightmare!

I'd disagree. I think the most recent ones that have done well (only Gina and Tiffany spring to mind) still fell victim to the 'Angry Black Woman' edit at points before the producers changed the narrative for them.

Plus you've got HMs like Allison who weren't victims of editing but were still evicted early anyway despite being a lovely HM that really raise questions.

tbf, Alison didn't actually come across so well in the house from what I remember. I think she was a bit bossy or moody, I forget. I definitely know she wasn't a fave of mine. I think I liked Audley. He came second. And I loved Derek from the early ones! There are never as many black people as white in there, and most white people don't do so great either lol! I really think people overthink it when it comes to colour. The day when nobody notices or cares what colour people are is the day we're all equal.

It's black women that seem to get the worst deal though rather than black men on TV etc

It is down to the black women they cast not the public they usually cast nasty vile ones and the odd time they let a Tiffany or Gina slip through

I think it's a mix of both.

BB, more often the not, only tend to cast black women that can be edited as the ABW stereotype and the public for typically not supporting black females in general regardless.

Thing is they cast Natalie last year and I honestly see so many similarities between her and Kim yet she was loathed

Isn't Kim quite unpopular with the public, too?

I love Nat but she was a loud mouth and was always going in VTE where as VTS she would have lasted near the end

Totally this.If only we could've seen more of interview and BOTS Stacy in the house.I liked her but she was seen to be one dimensional in the house.

She's second fave to win (I think) but I was more speaking about online forums/social media etc.

True but she probs would've gone in VTS as well, my point is that Natalie was almost universally hated whilst Kim had plenty of adorers

I think it because Natalie argued from the off and people waned the light stuff where with Kim she came in half way and revitalised the series

I have just had a look on wikipedia and got up to bb3.

Very interesting as everytime a hm who wasnt white was up for eviction they went..the ones who made the final were out first apart from dean who was beaten by elizabeth she got 2% he got 5%...cant be bothered to go through the rest of them but i cant see it being much different.
