Can someone please give me some examples of how Jade and the the other 2 bitches have been racist?
I have been watching bits of the programme but I've missed the racist taunts / behaviour etc....Although I have seen Shilpa laughing at them for their accents etc...

Ema - at last, someone who seems to be watching the same programme as me. I have seen NO evidence of racist abuse on BB from Jade and the Girls. I have seen it from Shilpa though - immitating the English accent and laughing at how the white people in the house talk. Turning her nose up everytime she is asked if she would marry a white man and making degrading references to the English culture. . All that is happening is poor old Shila is having for the first time in her life to deal with "normal people" and the little princess doesn't like it. In her own words, "people stand up when I enter the room, people call me madam or ma'am, no-one has ever spoken to me like this before, I am a star, I have servants" bla, bla, bla. She is patronising and looks down on people. She makes no attempt go get to know the other girls but everybody is expected to be interested in her. Shilpa is manipulative, at the end of the day, she is getting paid alot of money - if she isn;t happy she can LEAVE!

I have watched every episode of this series, im hooked! Yet I never noticed any racism, in last nights the girls were only asking for the chicken to be served when fully cooked to avoid being given food poison again by Shilpa, there was NOTHING racist about that. Jades mum called Shilpa 'the idian girl' again, I see nothing racist about that, I am from Yorkshire & wouldnt think it racist if someone called me 'the yorkshire girl'. Has Shilpa made any complaints about being racially abused? NO & thats because she isnt being racially abused.
As for the accent chat - all accents were covered, nobody called Shilpa racist for trying to speak in a scouse accent.

Well EMA, i agree with your additional comments.
I don't watch BB, or read papers, but i do listen to the radio so they are talking about this today in the news.
So, i came here thinking people would be able to explain what the issues is.
From the above a gleen a few things:
Asking if you live in a shack is not racist, its nieve and stupid.
tellign someone you've not eating thier food because its undercooked is not racist, its errrr....telling people the food is undercooked.
It seems like the Jackson is a sterotypical NAmerican who does not mix cross-race.
Thats about it, the answers do not seem to have shown any racism, or certainly nothing more than i put up with all the time.
I live near Wales, people call me a sheep shagger. Is that any reason for the world to stop, or splash it all over the papers ? No
Identifying every derogotory remark as rascism halts the debate and does not allow our country to move forward.

We cant give you any examples becuase really and trully there isnt any!.....and infact shilpa was doing jades accent the other day and they were all laughing including shilpa!!!!!!
She has made it harder on herself and the others because she wants to take over all the time, she doesnt know that shes doing it....shilpa is used to a world where poeple call her maam..and stand up when she enters the room....and like she keeps saying no one talks to her like that! meaning i'm always right and dont you forget who i am kinda thing!
There is NO rascism just the differneces in culture and everytime jade tries to talk to shilpa she turns on the water works!
I think that racism is a terrible thing and would be one of the 1st to put my hand up if there was....poeple have jumped on the bandwaggon and its wrong!

Depsite the fact that Jackiey couldn't pronounce Shilpa's name - there have been a few incidents which I just consider as the girls infighting.
But there have also been some racially ignorant comments such as the conversation between Jo, Jade and Danielle where they decided that Indians are thin because they're always ill, because they don't cook their chicken for long enough.
Shilpa has also been called a Paki (behind her back) despite being Indian and not Pakistani. Whilst I don't agree with the word Paki being used in the right context - you should use it incorrectly.

You are probably seeing Shilpa laughing because they are probably editing it like that to compensate.
Jack called Shilpa a w..k..er and a P@ki, they refer to her as that 'Indian', she was asked whether she lived in a shack by Jade's mum, Jermaine said they are ganging up and picking on Shilpa so something has been happening.
It's been all over the tabloids.

They're NOT racist. It's true what you are saying, Shalip HAS been laughing at Jade's and Jo's accent. Imagine if they'd laughed at HER accent, there would have been uproar and of course it would have been labelled 'racist'. So why not the other way round? I think some ppl just use the racist thing when they have nothing else to use! It's pathetic! And I'll call her what I want!

I have not notice that they are racist and i come from one of the most racist country's in the world.
Shilpa plays the same game as they do by pretending she cannot understand what they are saying, that to me is rude as well. Ohhhhh giving up on this Big brother. Boring.

Exactly. Shilpa IS being picked on and bullied but I have seen no evidence of that being directly linked to her race. As I replied in an earlier questions, Jo was imitating her accent last night but it means nothing. I'm from Yorkshire and people imitate my accent all the time (in jest and when they're being horrible!).

Shilpa is a bossy moo as I've said a million times before. She thinks she is above anyone and I would say the same if she were white..... the girls have not been racist.
