I don't see how their skin colour is an issue

Maybe 60 years ago it would have been something worth mentioning as being exciting, different or unique, but not in 2017, especially in the UK

Your OP seems to take the subject of race quite seriously

Yet when confronted with me giving my opinion from a mixed-race perspective, you seem quite happy mocking the subject of me and my racial background (of which you know absolutely nothing at all)

It may be a laugh to you but your 'joke' reads like sugar-coated bigotry to me

Nothing wrong with stating facts or opinions on this or any thread.

But PLENTY wrong with mocking the racial background of forum members, especially when you don't know them. It's not how we play here 'hun'.

I think the point is black females tend to not do that well on BB - especially in VTE as they are usually hated above all other HMs (Pauline, Toya, Natalie, Adjoa all excited very early on in the last couple years alone)
The topic isn't as much about society as It is just BB its self

Don't you find the TiBB poll interesting, I thought the sisters would be top two with all the that goes on for black women, maybe we are more in tune with the public after all, if Isabelle wasn't a forum fave there would be accusations of the racist public all round as she is leading the betting odds Deborah should be topping the TiBB poll, people like to talk the talk, but there is no walking the walk

To be fair in like 60 plus seasons of BBUS/BBCAN/BBUK/BBAUS there has never been a black female winner, this fact is statistically significant and so threads like these do have a point. It is a show based on the public voting and the public do discriminate whether they it's subconsciously or not and it's interesting to see facts like this.

It's no different to no female ever going first for 16 years of BBUK, because its statistically significant it is worthy of a thread and its not just luck, because that is ridiculous odds if you go by luck, something like 1 in a million.
