But they clearly aren't or haven't said they're representing ''Black'' culture have they ?
If a white British woman went into BB Africa saying they wanted to represent British culture then nobody would have a problem with it. Except maybe yourself if you were all out of other things to gripe about.

Exactly. If I went on BB (I would never but you know ) I would think i was representing Irish culture not "white" culture. I honestly don't think there is really such a thing as white culture anyway

I thought it was bizarre...what a load of bollocks. When they played spin the bottle and she was asked if she would grab the money if she got the opportunity..she said YES because she had had the experience and the money would help her family...fair enough. No mention of raising culture awareness etc etc etc...
What utter rubbish.
I've grown to like Deborah...but that comment kind of threw me and pissed me off. As for Hannah...she really showed her true colours yesterday..she really is a nasty vindictive bitch.

oh come on, the girls have been highlighting that they are different rather than integrating at every turn. Fine if you want to stand out and get noticed - fair enough, but they have been doing it primarily to chastise others unjustifiably and somehow win an argument on false grounds.

Its not the same as saying you are from Ireland

How so? I don't remember them ever doing that?

If you were going into a Big Brother in a Country that was as far away from Ireland as Nigeria is from England then it would be exactly the same principal.

You know thinking about it I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been a lot more people from other countries in BB, it distinctly lacks other nationalities and yet the UK itself is full of every nationality.

They used to at least try to get a more diverse range of ethnicities in the house back in Channel 4 days but, as with most things BB, C5 have screwed that up too sadly!

God forbid a Nigerian woman talks about her culture on TV. The skies will be falling in any minute.

[Underscore]

Apparently low BAME representation in the media is a laugh

Welcome to Britain

[smudgie]

Their entrance was amazing, the clothes they wore suited them perfectly.
Culture wise they are no different to many British girls, apart from the odd lapse into an accent.
I don't see what the fuss is about, all housemates represent themselves, and themselves alone.
As to them being Nigerian, of course they are, they come from Nigerian parents.
It's like saying Cliff Richard or Joanne Lumley and many many more people born abroad aren't British.

To be fair to Deborah she was put on the spot and had to think of something.Probably quick thinking and a smart move to whip out the culture card.I don't mind Deborah.She seems nice and quite amusing at times.Much nicer than her awful sister.

[reece(:]

And you wouldn't show your culture if you went in?????

And to say this is racist is just low.

[Jedman]

I can't stand them, always pulling the race card whenever their nominated or anyone questions there actions.

Acting like there on some holy mission or something, when they have shown some of the worst behaviour in the house.

Get them out!!

In the Rebecca example, Rebecca was the first person to bring up race in her argument about makeup/employment with Sukhvinder.

Don't even recall Rebecca having a disagreement with either of the sisters but I guess we're just inventing stuff at this stage of the series.

People have a serious problem with talking about other cultures. They seem to just want it to go away and never be talked about, or accuse them of "shoving it down our throats". Says more about them, really.

Is this designed to bring hate into the thread, because its a pathetic post and at best pure baiting. I hate these race orientated posts. They serve no purpose at all. They only serve to segregate and divide opinions which promotes hatred.
