I am very angry about several female members of the CBB house making bullying and racist remarks re Shilpa. I want to make an official complaint because it is unacceptable.

"Channel 4 call it "Cultural and class differences"...yeh right! In my days it was pure bullying and racist comments. If making remarks like "go back home" (in tonights episode) and "that indian"(jackie goodie) can be put down to cultural differences it's obvious that Channel 4 does not want to put a stop to this. After all it feeds their ratings. I don't think anyone would put up with that type of stuff in the playground or workplace. Time to put a stop to it before thousands of youngsters think its okay to harrass and poke fun out of people in that way." It's racism which ever way you look at it! Shilpa is an intelligent woman, Jade is dimwit and Daniella ....well do I really need to say anything more (Teddy you really need to sort it out!).

To be honest, we shouldn’t be watching programmes like these; specially with some of our children sitting beside us.
It is not surprising that all the young British contestants carry such prejudiced views. They are growing up in an atmosphere where the media constantly demonises immigrants and anyone with different views or cultures.
However, I fell as is you are right in you opinion and need to be heard, after all this is a democracy; you can contact OFCOM, go to channel 4 website and email them or go on http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/article.html?in_article_id=33135&in_page_id=7&expand=true#StartComments – there is a debate going on here and many people feel the same way as you think.
I give you one thumb up.

If you look on skynews there is a article about this, apparently Jade was a member of a antibullying charity and has now been kicked out! You might find a link on skynews, i agree though that everyone has different views and opinions in the BB house and most people will feel bullied threatened in there celeb or not, its life. My daughter gets bullied at school, she is white english and gets bullied by white english, but no one deals with that.

Lets get this straight.
You want to complain about a show featuring stupid people, watched by stupid people, about people being stupid?
And when you make this 'official' complaint what do you expect to be done about it?
An emergency sitting of Parliament? Call the troops back from Iraq and Afghanistan? or should we send it to the full security council of the United Nations.
FOR GODS SAKE its a TV programme which needs publicity, NOT a national crisis.
Get a grip on reality.

I am absolutley digusted with Jade's behaviour screeching at a human being this way. who does she thinks she is? I can't believe what I heard over oxo cubes the girl (Jade) is clearly unstable. What impression does it give of the uk? I also think danielle and Jo should be ashamed of themselves as they were encouraging her.I think all careers are over.If this is how Bb is portrayed then I will never watch a BB series again.

OFCOM is the regulatory board for complaints on TV. Look them up on the internet.
They have already received a lot of complaints..pity they havent actually done anything about it...
And they are bullying her BECAUSE she is Indian..because she has a complete different lifestyle. This is the issue!

Just go onto the BB website and there could be a link or a name that you can contact via the TV channel website...

Don't bother, it's a waste of time. Legislation won't stop people having certain beliefs and as especially as every body is racist.
Pretending otherwise is whistling in the wind.

I think you need to start at the Channel4 website. It may be difficult, though, as those are a person's individual opinions - you'd have to bring a case against a specific person.
