big brother race row?

Question

I thought that the three witches who have been bullying shilpa were just showing how thick they all really are. I didnt know if it was cultural ignorance or racist. After watching the show last night and hearing what danielle said -she should f-off back home. Is this racist? I think so. Shilpa is representing her country in a good light and these three witches should be punished. this is mild racism although it is out of order I have seen far worse. what do you think?

I think big brother has been a great way of raising this issue of bullying and racism. Who thinks racism is also a lot worse in this country. something needs to be done to make people more aware. shilpa can speak english better then those girls who probably cant even speak a word of hindi

Answer 1

I watched it last night for the first time to see what all the fuss is about and I was asbolutely disgusted. Prior to that I assumed it was political correctness gone mad. I am a white british woman, from Liverpool. That Shilpa girl is beautiful, intelligent, and very elegant. The other 3 in particular Jade and the scouse girl and mere scum. They lack all of the above attriubutes. Its almost like a class war rather than racism. They cant handle seeing a beautiful woman who is from a poor country who is so elgant and successful and in possessing them attributes she puts them to shame. She is winding them up because she is effortlessly stealing all the limelight that theywil be used to. Women hate nothing more than a threat to them, its blindingly obvious. Shilpa quite righly pointed out that Jade's claim to fame was the BB House and she was angry at her. Why didnt someone ask her why else she was famous since hearing the real reason made her mad?

I could go on forevor with my disgust for them girls, i say girls because theyre not women, certainly not ladies.

Them 3 girls are making me ashamed to be from the UK.

Answer 2

I don't think it's racist as all, I think it's pure jealously. If you saw the show on the first Friday when they all entered the house, the look that Danielle gave Shilpa. For a moment Danielle thought she was going to be the prettiest female in there until Shilpa walked in and it all started from there. She is a lovely looking woman and the other girls have got uglier as the show has gone on, their personalities coming out in their faces. They know that not one of them will ever achieve what Shilpa has done with her life and career, not one of them will be adored by fans like Shilpa is.

But the show has done one very good thing, shows us what these so called celebrities are really like, and that we are so much better than they are.

I just can't wait til they each come out and are shown what the newspapers have been saying about them, as they have no idea at the moment. They talk about other people being booed, I think those 3 will be drowned out by the amount of boos they will each get.

Answer 3

Jade isn’t racist, she is just angry at Shilpa because she blames her for her mother downfall.

She believes the public wanted her mom out because of all the arguments she was having with Shilpa, and they also blame Shilpa for Carol demise. On several occasions, Jade tried to be friendly towards Shilpa, but nothing bared fruit. The people in there who are racist are Danielle and Jo, they say nasty things about the Shilpa, and all the racist attitudes and comments come from them.

Danielle is very manipulative, she tries to make conversation with Shilpa and then she reports back to Jade and Jo, making the conversation sound worse than it was.

The media is despicable, they hate the way that Jade got famous and they are trying to stick all kind of mud on her. I challenge anyone to find one racist comment, mockery or attitude that Jade had towards Shilpa. I am hoping Shilpa win, but I think Jade is getting the blame for others behaviour. She isn't a saint, but she isn't the one to take the blame, it should be on Danielle and Jo

Answer 4

I don't think they are being consciously racist, but because they are bullying someone that is asian a few of the things they say have a racist undertone.

I haven't heard any one of them be blatantly racist to her, they are just acting like a pack of dogs and ganging up on her.

On last night's show big bro called Dani in the diary room and asked what she meant when she said that Shilpa should fvck off home and I think she knew what they were getting at and was genuinely mortified that she may have made a racist comment.

Don't get me wrong I'm not defending them, i don't like them or their behavour, I just think that we need to get a little perspective on it.

Without doubt they need to be dealt with as bullying whether racially motivated or not is simply not on and has no place in the modern world.

Answer 5

believe it or not there are many jades out in this world right here in london too, we all relate to someone in big brother right now, what we are seeing now is our self in one of these characters, either we are like shilpa, or jade mouthing away , or the girls laughing away or keeping quiet, or a jackson standing up for what is right and just, it would be nice to see these girls all punished and perhaps as we all look into this programme every evening perhaps lessons can be learnt and personalities changed. shilpa keep on being shilpa.

Answer 6

The simple fact is that those 3 retards are jealous as well as insecure about themselves compared to Shilpa and ignorant. Shilpa is young, attractive, successful, powerful, worked hard and earned her own fortune, which is far more than all of them, their families and lovers put together

Jade - Inbred whose only claim to fame is showing the world her Lard. She is NO celebrity and earned her fortune by claiming that she exercised when in fact the Lard A*se b*tch had liposuction!

Jo - What has she done since S-Club 7 disbanded? Nothing. She is NO celebrity either and needs to realise that her career is over and therefore needs to now get a job!

Danielle - Former disgraced Miss UK. As fit and fine as she is, she too is a retard and her only claim to fame is being the Former disgraced Miss UK and now she is know for sh*ging Teddy Sheringham!

Jade's Mum - Inbred

Jade's B/F - Needs to get a job and stop living off Lardy's DVD income! Cheryl must be so proud of him!!

Answer 7

The press is stirring up trouble and making it into more of an issue than it is. Racism is always used as an excuse for everything. Some Asian men killed a white boy not so long ago and another white boy was attracted at school, it goes both ways. People seem to go over the top over this issue which creates more bad feelings. No one cares about ageism which is directly targeted at women and sexism, these too issues are just as bad. People are often mean to one another in big brothers house. I remember when the Welsh ex model went in to the house, people were really mean to her, and what support did she get???

Answer 8

I dont think witches is the right word for them I mean witches are intelligent people who can do good or evil......they are just moronic trollops who haven't got a clue about how to act in a forced situation, they are happy at home in there little cocoons of life.
Daniel wanting to live the life of a footballers wife... yeah wake up Teddy shes a half wit with no etiquette at all who just wants your money and YOUR fame.
Jo washed up pop star from an awful group of wannabes living on a farm like lady of the manor.
And Jade well lets see what is she famous for ..........hmmm oh yeah shes famous for being a unintelligent ignorant little girl and guess what she still is.... but with money, I admit I started to like her a few months ago when she was bringing out perfumes and doing charity stuff but last night just put her back in the box marked No mark.

Shilpa has had to put up with a lot but I think burning effigies of the producers was way over the top.

Answer 9

I think it is more bulling than racist, Those faggots are rude and ignorant, like kids in a playground, but every dog has it's day, it's doing nothing for their reputation, on the other hand Shilpa will become a household name internationally

Answer 10

I thoroughly accept as true with you. It has long previous way too some distance. there is not any way in this earth that they have got been inciting racism. the human beings who complained weren't there interior the homestead, they did not experience it first hand - they only observed an edited version on television. how many human beings have walked right into a communique and have thoroughly gotten the incorrect end of the stick? lots. till you're there and see the context then save your mouth close - that's what I say. It exchange into purely a conflict of personalities and probably of cultures yet how many cases does that take place on a daily basis. lots...different than human beings do not call the police each time. I agree, they ought to get a life
