OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME!
How about we put all the Indian people in Indian-Land, and all the Brit people in Brit-Land and then disconnect all the phone lines.
Works for me, I might even get through to a call-centre where the person speaks english.

Nobody is saying that the whole of Britain is racist...there are racists in every country - this does not mean that the whole country is racist.
As to the comment about the asians beating up the white boy - there are asians that do not condone that sort of behaviour and do in fact deem it racist. India obviously would not report it as it isn't there local news whereas Shilpa Shetty is a famous celebrity living in India, so of course they'll be reporting news relating to her.

The way they are behaving towards Shilpa is disgusting. Shilpa has come to another country, to a strange culutre - she already speaks perfect English (along with several other languages) and is making a real effort to fit in - trying to cook etc.
Can Jade speak perfect Hindu or Kannada or Tamil? She can barely speak coherent English!!! Would she even try to fit in with Indian culture if she was put in a similar position in India? I doubt it - she'd just sit there complaining she couldn't get Fish Fingers and Beans!
The reason Shilpa didn't know how to roast a chicken is because she is Hindu and most Hindus are vegetarian!! Even those who eat meat in India rarely eat Roast chicken!
I'd like to see Jade try to cook authentic Indian food.
I'm White British but studied Classical South Indian dance and Music (Bharatanatyam) since I was very young and have been to India. So I do understand a bit about their culture. I can see how hard it is for Shilpa to get used to the nasty "Chav" British culture exemplified by Jade, Danielle and Jo. Most Indians would be disgusted by it.
They are completely ignorant of Shilpa's culture - but at least Ian shows an interest - asking her about the currency of India etc. Jade, Jo and Danielle are sitting there spouting ignorant racist nonsense and making all British people look bad.
How are Shilpa's fans in India going to react when they hear she was racially bullied in the UK? Its going to make all British people look bad and they'll think we're all racist ignorant idiots.
I feel angry and ashamed of the behaviour of these girls. They have set a really bad example.
I hope Shilpa and her Indian fans realise we British people are not all as stupid and ignorant as some of the BB housemates. I think Shilpa is lovely and I hope she wins just to show those bitchy girls.

Typical.. use the word Racist as usual..I'm sick to death of us Brits being the bad guys, what about the Asian kids who attacked a white kid in a play ground not so long ago with a hammer, I doubt somehow India's papers will headline that!
As far as I am concerned the only contribution India has given the world is fine spices and Curry houses otherwise they can get stuffed!

I think with people couped up in a house with nothing else to but be around the same people,who theywouldn't normally associate with so much has taken them over. But i do think the three girls are acting very school girl bitchiness as lets face it most girls can be, and being couped up i think has brought the worst out in them. But to say the whole of England is rascist is mad as we have more immigrants come over here them most Countries i think with Shilpa they just don't connect at all since Jade and her family came in myself it changed gradually from there. But there are polite ways to speak to people then to be abrubt you'd think they were taught manners!

I totally understand that the whole of Britain is not racist, I am pleased to see that British people are embracing unity and peace with all races and are standing up for Shilpa.

Indians don't seem to mind stealing jobs from American workers. Try calling any U.S. based company for technical support and you get someone in India. I can't even understand most of them and they end up being no help at all. They piss me off. Does that make me racist?
