Exactly, I completely agree

I don't get why people are comparing the two.

I agree Rodrigo shouldn't have said it, but he didn't say it maliciously, didn't offend anyone (I'm not even sure anybody even noticed tbh), so a warning is fine.

Emily on the other hand actually (iirc since it's been a while) actually called Charley the N word, albeit as a joke. Plus it was directly after the CBB5 race row so they had no choice. Two very different circumstances

Lol Charley said at first that she didn’t mind then didn’t shut up about it all season, tho tbh she did defend Emily against Brian and cause an argument

At 1.10 in the clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj4jMww3ol4)

Emily: Are you offended?
Charley: No, not really

Of course the word IS offensive, i don't think anyone would disagree with that.

The point is that two different HMs used the same word in a similar 'street slang' kinda way, yet BB treats them both differently: which is unfair.

And because someone says they are not offended it means they are not?

You only have to look at her body language and what she told BB

It's an offensive word, no question (even though Charley does then say it twice herself in the same clip)

But the point is about BB treating two HMs differently for the same crime, which is inconsistent and unfair

People get in trouble all the time today for saying it, just as they did 11 years ago

Just seems like one rule for some people, one rule for others and i don't get why?

You are right

There's lots of unequal treatment, and it's good to point it out when it happens

Probably because he's white and looks stereotypically British .
Plus his English is clear and the other housemates would of heard him alot better, I bet there woudnt be baffled expressions ,Natalie wouldn't be laughing then .

Baby Jane · 18-08-2018, 03:58 PM

He will be ejected before the end of the week
