What are you talking about? She is dressing like a normal girl. In India(and the Indian subcontinent), salwar kameez, sarees, lenghar etc are normal, everyday clothing for women and girls, and it so happens to be traditional. If you're thinking jeans and t-shirts etc as "normal" (by the way I interpret it, you seem think those are the only normal clothing on this earth), then maybe you should stop dressing like the only place you've ever been to is America/UK/Mars. Racial matter is not the thing of the past if people are continually discriminating against a person/people just because of the differences in skin colour, culture, nationality and religion. And what's wrong with traditions? They won't cause any problems so as long as you keep your business to yourself. It's not doing any harm. Shilpa Shetty is not causing any problems, nor does she have any problems with anyone else in the "Celebrity" Big Brother house. As said many times before, she's a victim of bullying and racial abuse by a few of the housemates who are embarrassing and giving a bad name to us Brits - we always prided ourselves for our multicultural society and racial integration. I believe that those other, rather grotesque-looking fellow housemates are treating Shilpa Shetty this way because they think they are "celebrities" and "famous" enough to get away with it, with "fans" backing them (er, yeah right!). I also believe that they're jealous because she's rich, beautiful and successful in her native country (by that I meant 'positively', unlike Jade 'Sshhit Perfume' Goody) and perhaps even with a fantastic likeable personality to go with her looks... maybe... I don't know her, but it’s possible. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not siding with her just because I’m Asian, because I’m English too. I’m not familiar with Shetty’s work (same with the other contestants) and apart from the above clip, I’ve never watched Big Brother in my entire life and I never will, for that matter, as it’s just the regular low-brow, classless, quick-fame-and-fortune, entertainment-for-the-stupid “reality” crap. I’m guessing the average viewer of Big Brother watches soaps like Eastenders, read celebrity-infatuated magazines and tabloids like The Sun and Closer, and is very uneducated and inexperienced (possibly, no wait…highly likely). One other thing [sprawlinvideos], why should one be accepted to a particular racial group? Shouldn’t one be accepted despite of their race? By the way, “Paki” does not mean “Pakistan”, it’s a racist expletive used to refer Asians especially in the UK, very much like the “N” word used in referral to people of African/Caribbean descent. This is all I have to say for now.
