The problem is that you're thinking of the voting public's racism in all or nothing terms. A white winner receiving a mixed reception doesn't cancel out the countless people of color who have been booed. Similarly, a black male being cheered doesn't mean that the voting public is never racist ever.

I never said they're never racist ever. If you actually follow the flow of discussion I was responding to a comment which consisted of "Hira was booed on her eviction in BB10" as an example of racism?
How is that an example of racism.
I'm not thinking of it in all or nothing terms, I'm saying it as it is, most housemates come out to boos. Watch any eviction video from BB5 onwards on youtube and 9 times out of 10 the housemate comes out to boos.
I never said a white winner cancelled out racism, I pointed out a white woman who won the series got boos. So if the actual woman voted winner of the whole series gets boos, then they'll boo anyone.
Lisa was booed going into the house? Why is Hira and Sylvia's boos going in an example of racism? You quoted Sierra Leone and Pakistan comments followed by boos so if you weren't implying they were booed for those things then what exactly is your point?
