After watching Celebrity Big Brother housemates victimise Bollywood star Shilpa, it seems that India is up in arms. It's been reported that people are taking to the streets burning things whilst chanting "Down with Big Brother!"
As well as this, Channel 4 has reportedly recieved e-mails of "concern" wich are being "investigated" by police, prompting speculation that they are indeed death threats.
I understand that many people are EXTREMELY angry with Jade (rummoured to have said "she makes my skin crawl" about Shilpa), Jo, Danielle and Jack; I also understand and completely agree that they should be made to formally appologise in person to Shilpa. Though I believe they are ignorant and vile individuals I find myself wondering, has everything gone a bit too far?
Surely the worst thing that could happen to these fame hungry people is to be removed from the public eye indefinately, and have all their fans see them for how they are; death threats are a little extreme.

It's gone a bit crackers now. These three girls are guilty of bullying, not racism. But because it's the Asian community being brought out in the public eye, it has to be some thing much much worse. So they throw the 'race' card in the ring knowing full well that that would get the news. If it was about race, why on earth isn't Jermaine Jackson getting picked on.

I agree, what is going on with the world. I hate things like this that get blown out of all proportion. I do think that what is going on is a clear example of bullying but weren't we taught in school that the bullies are the insecure ones and just to ignore them. If Jade had said that H (or whatever he's called) 'made her skin crawl' it wouldn't even be an issue but because it was said about an Indian person it's racisim. GRRR!

So comments have been made. Were any of the actually racist? Could these have been said to anyone else without hotheads making something of it. I suspect that Shilpa's lack of body language would make a lot of people feel uncomfortable it's just that Jade cannot put it into words.

Asians only need half an excuse to threaten Westerners with death or destruction,weve heard it so many times now over the last few years that its lost its effect.

she was paid "obscene amounts of money" - triple amount than other participants - to take part in the show and must have known what she was getting into when she agreed to appear.
