They have reported on the news that some of the (non-) celebrities were being racist, but nobody is reporting what was actually said or done. What were the words that were used?

There was a thing about Shilpa handling the food and someone said about they didn't know where her hands had been. I hardly consider that racist but the media seems to think otherwise. Personally, I hate anyone handling my food, it has nothing to do with the colour of someones skin (that wasn't even mentioned) and yet apparently whoever said it was being racist. I hardly think the media would have called it racist if the person handling the food was white!

interior the context the be conscious exchange into used I agree! I settle for that channel 4 had no selection in the event that they % the programme to proceed on air, Charley made specific of that by using asserting she had no qualms with it, employing the N be conscious pertaining to herself, and then telling all and sundry who could hear, what had happened. I hate living in a country the place a black individual can say a be conscious which i'm not allowed to apply? Kinda racist do not you think of? actual no attention exchange into given to the context of it fairly is use, FFS it exchange right into a 19 year previous greater crust naive female attempting to be "area of" and be accepted. So, as an Irish guy am i able to not snicker whilst somebody tells an Irish humorous tale? ought to i seem fairly seem offended, telephone the police, and count huge sort my reimbursement? Britain is going down the chubes and a so called "British Day" will do not something to maintain it!!

They are only playing the race card as she is from India if all the same comments were say aimed at jade no one would bat an eye lid. even though she is thick as two short planks but all this racist stuff is just a cop-out to ruffle feathers and make some news.

What do expect from so-called talentless bimbo's who are made to believe they everyone loves them. We just think they're a joke really
This sort of behaviour against asians is rife in Britain. I see and hear it everyday. The jibes against the Bollywood actress that she is smelly, unclean etc, etc is the language of the uneducated moron.
The people who have been rascially abusing this person should be kicked out immediately and we should all say goodbye to what ever little career they had. I hope they all end up working in a supermarket.
What ever happened to real talent and real entertainment instead of this mindless drivel.

I haven't watched it, nor would I I think it is a dreadful genre of prog. What I would say, however, is that those "celebrities" who are under scrutiny for their behaviour ought to be careful because apparently people with a grudge over this know where they live, it would scare me anyway.

according to teletext, one of the girls, Jo, Jade or Danielle, said that Indians were all skinny cos they couldn't cook food right..and they questioned where Shilpa had her hands before? presumably before she came into the house??
Ian and Cleo are apparently disgusted about the whole thing, so whether it is just girly bitching or not , the fact that her nationality was sneered at is enough to suggest racism.
Also to the girl who doesn't like people handling her food, I hate to tell you, but everything you eat has probably been handled by at least 10 people before you, unless you grow your own.

Who cares?
The lesson is that even the BBC is giving BB hours of publicity!
Well done BB.
No doubt the institutionally racist (Their words, I would not dare to say it!) Met police will sent an armed team to enter the BB house.
The sad thing is that Londoners are taking the whole thing seriously.
IT IS ONLY A REALITY TV SHOW YOU THICK @?&%$£@s

i haven't heard anything racist. as far as i know they are bullying her because she is prettier and more successful than they are. the media have decided because shilpa is from India that must be the reason they hate her

To Amy 22 - It was more than just food - if you are too dumb or ignorant to answer the question - Why bother.

you should have stayed in the house Leo, then you would know:)
Nothing in particular has been said, just the mimicking of her accent and her handling of the food, calling her names like dog, saying she has a hairy face etc! Basically being a b1tch towards her! Playground stuff you expect from adult chav b1tches!
But it was said that Jack called her a p@cki, and this was bleeped, Ch4 say he said c*nt though!
