After the massive outcry with regard to Jade Goody’s anti-Indian slurs – it is ironic that when Big Brother actually puts an Indian in the house, this person just serves to be a dire model and representative of his country.
Sree is immensely self-serving, egotistical, and Janus-faced. He demonstrates a complete lack of integrity, is perpetually immature and his references to his own social position and intellect risible. His pseudo-smiling; his egotistical conversational gambits; his emotional idiocy… Jade Goody felt the need to go to India to apologise to the nation – Sree should do the same… Big Brother has played into the hands of the racists by putting Sree into the house, as he has manifested the stereotypical behaviours xenophobes cite with regard to people from the sub-continent. Shame on Big Brother for choosing this candidate for the programme. |

Such nonsense.
No man is a representitive of any country, only of himself. I happen to hate Kris more then Sree, and think he is fundementally a more vile person. Should every twat on TV be forced to apologise to their home country? Idiocy. |

Big Brother is patently watched by a huge audience, and Sree is quite possibly their only introduction to somebody actually hailing directly from the Indian sub-continent. As such, I am sure many will be judgmental… If you were watching the Indian version of Big Brother, and you were watching the only native English person – the sole representative of your culture on the programme, acting in the same manner as Sree – how would you feel? The rest of the housemates provide a cross section of Britain – we appreciate the other characters’ idiosyncrasies – they will not be labelled. I appreciate you are attempting to provide an equitable, politically correct view – but do you have the faith in British society to hold the same view? |

British people do act like that, well some of them, we are not that thin skinned, we got lots of people we are ashamed of, the prime minister to start with!
But thats not our fault, people are judged individually not as a nation, look at posh spice, or Jordan I'm ashamed to come from the same country as those talentless morons!!! |

British people act like sh!ts on TV day in day out, do you really demand an apology from all of them to the British people? Ridicolous. On your second question... I am aware that you offer up being 'political correct' as an snide insult, but thats ok, I don't mind that. Sree is a twat because Sree is a twat, nothing more nothing less. Stop trying to subersively trying to turn this into a race issue. Your cover is paper thin. |

I don't like Karly. The fact that she's Scottish is neither here not there. They could put in a Scot I really liked.. Most people base their observations on the individual. Same goes with Sree.

Vesavius,nice dictionary you have there but maybe GO and I were trying (perhaps too obliquely) to indicate that the OP had nothing at all to do with anachronisms.

Reminds me of when Gerry used to go on about how he's "representing Greece" when nobody realisticly thinks of gerry when they think of Greece. It's famous for so many other more respectable things.

We are representative of our own country and culture; we are its product – and it is especially true when we are the sole representative that another group encounters… Shouldn’t you feel like that when you are visiting a foreign country? Isn’t the expectation that we are all, effectively, ambassadors – don’t we all shy away from the British examples who misbehave abroad or embarrass us as a nation?
Big Brother has been in existence for a decade; I presume that every candidate is vetted, psychologically profiled, etc. extremely thoroughly. With this level of appreciation, Big Brother must have had an excellent notion as to how Sree would behave and his character traits. As such, what was Big Brother trying to achieve with its representation of Indians? I would have expected them to implant an especially worthwhile role-model when they were looking for a native Indian – especially after the purported world-wide furore with the Jade Goody Celebrity series – what was the motive for placing such an egregious person as Sree for everybody to disparage? |

Before Sree apologizes to India, he should do that first to Hertfordshire University.

He is representative of himself, not his country. You're the one being stereotypical.

You didnt even answer my direct and clear questions. Should every British person acting like a nasty or rude twat on TV apologise to the Nation everytime they do so? Should I as an individual be judged on someone elses behavior, just because they are British? |
