This guy's just embarrassingly thick...it's not his fault.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_British

In 2005 the Dept. Of Trade and Industry, trying to assess the impact of the New Civil Partnership Act, and reviewing various surveys, produced an estimate that 6% of the general population could reliably be identified as gay.
straight 90%
white 85%
straight AND white = 94% times 85%
= 79%
Not that it moves the argument forward at all.
Producers will pick hm who are in one way or another extreme. Picking a house full of "average" hms wouldn't be that entertaining. I couldn't care who they get in there as long as they're fun to watch. eg Sophie/kris were rubbish to watch... not because they were straight and white but because they were a bore.

but it is the extreme ones that they pick that always turn out to be the dullest ?

like Lisa and Angel for example
dude lol don't edit people's posts in replies.

re Lisa and Angel ... nah ... they mixed it up and got involved. Love'm or hate them they did stuff. Had you mentioned Rod then I'd agree

I guess we will never know
As the UK is multicultural society made of all races, religons and people with sexual prefrences, I think having a right wing house is not right.

I'm sorry but I don't buy into the fact that all the housemate slots should be reserved for the white, straight, etc people of Britain. I think it's clear that you fit this discription, and have very badly disguised you prejudices.

Why should black, gay etc people be excluded from the programme? Do you really think 90% of the viewing figures fit exactly your category? The show is now getting viewers around the 2 million mark, and the majority of this audience, from what I gather is females and gay men. (I know there are exceptions to this, obviously, I'm not quite as blind as the opening poster).

So, where you pulled that figure from is anyones guess. In fact, it quite literally was anyones guess.

Why shouldn't disabled or people from different countries or people with a different sexuality to yours be eligable to go in? We have heard that you think they should be left out of the show, what we haven't heard is why you think this. Asides from the obvious prejudices.

Im pretty sure there have been more white housemates than any other kind since BB started but of course thats not enough for you. If you can't tolerate an enviroment that has people who are different to you in it then it sounds like your the one that needs to change not big brother.

I couldn't give a flying toss what their race, gender, age, sexuality is.


As long as they are entertaining then that's all I need.

So you're saying that white straight people prefer to watch white straight people on TV?

It's a difficult one, this. They have obviously tried to introduce us to people that in our lives we would nevert normally come into contact with. Ok so you may meet a Russian mid 30's lesbian boxer at your workplace, but the chances are slim. I guess we all like to think we are different, even us white middle class English folk...
