it has forced open the doors to the discussions, of the diffrent types of racism that occours. there are some people who think racism only takes place when it directly stated e.g "your a ........"
but do not realise that there is the sly, underhand, unsaid racism which is not directly stated but is obvious to the person on the receiving end.
is it so uncomfortable to watch because it represents the state of society today? as we can either be cast into the role of shilpa or jade and her friends? or the others who stand by and say/do nothing?

I think that there is an element of truth in what you have said. Although I do believe that Jade Goody and co are clearly bullying. It is also my opinion that Jade is not necessarily displaying blatant racism, however, I personally believe that she is portraying the resentment for the large amount of foreigners who have come to Britain. That is to say, a vast majority of British people feel that they have lost their British identity which has become embroiled in the over-whelming political correctness, and all too lax immigration laws. Fear has been spread due to the controversial actions of the minority of 'muslims' who have been in the media over the last few years. It would seem that diversity does not work, and this has been proved through the polarisation of communities throughout our country.
It is the aforementioned issues that need to be addressed, but Jade Goody and co are simply not the candidates to bring these delicate matters to the fore.
I would like to make it clear that I am most certainly not racist. However, I do feel strongly about the issues that I have mentioned.

Exactly. I'm totally anti-racism. However I wouldn't censor the show or take it of the air. The Big Brother experiment is showing alot of these celebs for what they really are... all their flaws + some who have full fairness and inner strength.

Yes,I call it latent racism. I watch a colleague offer better service to people on the light end of the spectrum, all the time.I don't think he even considers it a weakness.
