Of course they are racist. They are working class idiots. It's a given.

Not directly,but yes it is,it must be distressing for minoritys tho,when some white people do ignore or dont see whats in front of them,you see it on this board with 3 or 4 members.
But that signature should be taken off

[Bigmouth81]

shabaz was seriously annoying and had no class

[Leona]

WOW!
The update is huge!

This isn't just about Shilpa being Bullied and Racial slurs. Its also about others who had to face it in the past. The Bigger this comes and more people speak, the more BB will learn from past experience and future shows to come.
At least this is what you hope.
But BB need to learn right now that the Viewers speak more then themselves.

over 10500 people have already signed the petition. If you already have signed this petition then have you also submitted an official complaint to OFCOM. If not i strongly recommend that you do, as nothing will come of it unless OFCOM are also notified by more people...

I think you've got a hidden agenda here. The way you're conducting this petition and regularly updating the figure as though you're on some mission of justice, seems to me that you are intent on condemning these people (as horrible and vile as they may be) based on assumptions and speculation over mocking someone's accent. There has been absolutely no concrete evidence of racism.

Admin edit: that's an unacceptable comment to make to another forum member

Those who sign it are stupid beyond belief.

I’ve never mentioned racism, and it’s not necessarily the racism people are signing against, it’s moreso the fact that Shilpa’s being bullied in general - the girls are being HORRIBLE to her! And she’s still dealing with it respectably! People just don’t understand the Asian culture or even seem to want to, obviously. Why are those who sign it stupid beyond belief, sorry? Shilpa is a huge star in Asia and internationally, she has lots of fans, quite a lot being in Britain. They’re not going to just sit around and watch her get bullied and picked on. Others just don’t seem to be able to grasp that.

How come being horrible to an English perosn is bullying?
But people being horrible to an Indian person is racism?

People tend to jump to conclusions.
For me, it's just bullying simply because they don't understand Shilpa, the fact she's such a big celeb, her culture, anything. The fact she's foreign is just an additional factor.
So, IMO, it's bullying, but that's just as unacceptable!

Well the opening line of the petition is:

This petition has been created because of the racial discrimination Indian actress Shilpa Shetty is facing within the Celebrity Big Brother House.

And it refers to racism throughout it, so anyone signing because of general bullying has clearly missed the point completely.

Seems to be quite a few repeat signatures and joke names throughout that petition as well.

[Bells]

Sorry Slartibartfast, I obviously didn't make myself clear enough.
Obviously IMO they're bullying first and foremost, because they simply don't understand Shilpa.
But I don't understand why just because of their growing dislike for her, for whatever retarded reason, they have to add snide little racist comments. They're on national TV, are people actually going to sit around and listen to them? Not likely.

[Leona]

You can't say that the people who have been signing it is stupid, people have every right to defend when wrongdoing is shown,.

It's stupid because there is no evidence of any racism.

In fact I actually think this petition is a form of bullying in itself. Its intent is to bully channel 4 into throwing out certain housemates who have no opportunity to reply to the accusations. Of course because they're ignorant and thick hardly helps their cause, but there is thing of principle here.

I don't believe however stupid Jade and co are, that they would would be racist on a programme that is watched 24/7.

hmm, I've edited one of your previous posts. You can't call someone on here a disgrace. Not for that anyway.
