I also think it was Jemima saying that Gina wouldn't go out with white guys that sparked the warning.

However since they were talking about dating and being romantically involved with men then I didn't see anything racist in the argument,only their own personal preferences which they are fully entitled to have.
Really I feel Jemima walked into Gina's trap by saying too much.

Possibly the most ridiculous warning I have seen given to any housemate on BB ever.

Urgh gina is pure poison she orchestrated that whole scenario out of nothing, there was no malicious intent in the initial statement by jemima.
Gina following her around the house was much more intimidating.

was thinking the same

[MatthewS]

She was talking about her 'ideal' guy, and yes, according to big brother, if you answer that question by specifically stating a particular race doesn't generally do it for you, you've breached the rules. It's mind blowing.

[ozzyshaggah]

the warning was nothing more than a pathetic attempt to drum up interest in the show via the morons of the media

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I think Gina was out of order playing the race card, after all Gemima only stated her preference in the type of guy she likes, but cause Gina felt it was races, so BB had not option but to give Gemima a warning.

[karezza]

Does Gina find Eskimos or Australian Aboriginals attractive?

I admit I missed the nuttiness in this forum...LOL, I see Sampy is still in the middle of them all.

[Roy Mars III]

some races are statically hotter than others

[CaudleHalbard]

From my personal observations, I've concluded that many white women find black men appealing (and conversely black men find white women appealing). To the extent that they sometimes end up as spouses/partners.

The converse does not seem to apply, however, and the "white man - black woman" combination is a relative rarity.

Whereas there are plenty of men - especially older men - married to oriental women, but there seems to be very few white women married to oriental men. Who cares? I thought no one, but apparently some people care deeply over who fancies whom and why.

We don't say "oriental" anymore, just as we don't say "negro". The term you're looking for is "Asian".

Who made you the spokesman for what we are allowed to say ???? and who is the "We???" its certainly not me, I can speak and think for myself I dont need someone with a filthy photo on his page to correct me ,,thanks

[Fish_Fingers]

Absolutely unbelievable. I was really warming to Gina, and I think Jemima is a total joke who looks like an old sea hag. But, but, but - that warning totally took the biscuit. So she's not attracted to black guys. So the eff what?? Perhaps she's also not attracted to male dwarves, or blokes with severe learning disabilities either. Is that also innappropriate?

[Yayita]

It was a dumb argument and BB got involved just in case and so that the overly sensitive viewers dont start writting letters. I too dont find certain races attractive but I dont consider myself racist. The eye likes what the eye likes and sometimes you just dont like certain features.

[Yayita]

LOL, fish fingers.... Im not sure if you really are a new member but I love your name and avatar

[sampvt]

If you listen or believe the utterances of a self confessed liar and seemingly lower working class hood *****, then you may spring to the conclusion that BB has miffed it up. I fear not, she has looked for an opening to get air time but she didn't think too hard before she opened her daft gob.

Her assessment of what was said was based on cherry picking words and a sentences she needed to promote her cause. Get the daft cow out, her conflicting brashes are moot and she needs to take her sorry ass back to the hood and her storyline needs to follow her. Ł18,000 a month rent and a 2 bob hair do just don't gel.

& racism is NOT a one way street.

That's got bugger all to do with it. Not fancying anyone in the house and "not going for white guys" are two different things.

Nobody in the UK says Asian unless they mean of Indian/Pakistani origin. Asian meaning oriental is an American term.

It is very much 'oriental' in this country.

So what did J mean when she said to Gina that she was sure that Gina wouldn't go out with a white guy? If that comment wasn't showing some racism, then what the hell was it?

Opinions are formed from our personal knowledge and experiences. How can J possibly know what Gina would or wouldn't do?
Can anyone actually answer the question I asked in a rational manner?

..the thing is though Chuff, would she have said something similar to say Sallie or Charlie..would she have said, 'I don't suppose you would be attracted to a white guy'...?...I can't imagine her saying that so she said it to Gina based on the colour of her skin, which is racist....I do agree that Gina pushed and manipulated the situation and that Jemima felt under pressure and probably didn't mean it that way but she did say it and I don't think that BB had any choice but to give her a warning over it....
