No Jade has been a typical big brother contestant and has behaved in exactly the way we expected her to behave.
Jade is in fact the victim of bullying from the press and a lot of the people who have answered this question.
Danielle is the racist bully in that house.
She loaded the gun and let soppy Jade fire the bullets while she sat sniggering shame on her.
Jermain and Shilpa have also made derogatory remarks about white people but that's okay because they are ethnic minorities right?
Give Jade a break Jade has been and always will be Jade.
What you see is what you get.
I know she isn't the most educated person in the country but look at her up bringing.
All things considered she's done pretty well for herself. She's a good mum and she looks after that woman who is her mother warts and all.
Leave the poor girl alone if you really must tear someone apart look at the real guilty parties or maybe at yourself. (not the question asker but the people answering.The Jade haters) and ask yourselves why hate Jade so much is there something about her which reminds you of you I wonder.

Is this a rhetorical question? Yes Jade has done something wrong, of course she has.
I find it funny that you have all these people saying, "oh she is just ignorant" or "it's a clash of culture" etc. The fact that she said comments that were racially prejudice and she offended a great deal of people means that what she said was by definition RACIST!!
Perhaps she didn't mean them in a racist way, a convenient argument since no one really knows what she was thinking when she said these things!! But my argument is this, she only really showed "remorse" when big brother called her into the diary room to talk about it. You can bet your bottom dollar that it was more than just a quick chat, it wouldn't surprise me if one of the producers or the managing director talked to her face to face and told her to cool it down. So when she finally apologised to Shilpa, was it an act of goodness and love......of course not!! It was purely selfish act to make her look better and scrape back some sort of dignity from the whole ordeal.
It is very worrying that even in the cameras eye, these things were being said, doesn't make you think even worse things might be said in the real world behind closed doors?
Jade is a public figure who has amassed a huge fortune from doing very little. With great success comes great responsibility. I'm sorry but Jade is the only one who can take responsibity for her actions, and if she is really that unbelievably stupid to come out with these horrific references and be completely oblivious to what she was saying, then in my book she deserves all she gets.

Jade was playing a game designed to draw an audience for the show and for herself, but she didn't know when to stop. She always comes across as 'a bit thick' and in the past that's been her charm but ignorance is no defence. Maybe using racist slurs were an easy tool for somebody unable to think of a better insult. But that does not make it forgivable. Even if her comments never had a racist intent, the pack mentality of the bullying that was shown on the news programmes hardly becomes acceptable as long as there was no racism involved!
She - and others - were prejudiced against their victim. Maybe because of her race, maybe because of beauty, or her intelligence or her manners - probably because of their own growing inferiority complexes. They segregated her from their group, laughed at her behind her back, were rude to her to her face, and made comments that intentionally or not WERE racist - they also found humour in the comments made within their group.To deny Jade (or the others) are wrong is to accept that kind of behaviour- the comment about 'Shilpa Popadom' cannot be seen as anything other than racism - and WAS made by Jade herself, as well as taking the micky out of her accent. It's one thing to take the mickey out of someone who speaks their own language with an accent or dialect - it's another to ridicule someone who speaks your own language better than you do with a foreign accent!
Surely what they did makes them all objectional human beings - and in fact racist?

Of course not!
She has done NOTHING wrong!
She did NOT bullied her.
She was NOT rude to her.
She was NEVER looking for any excuse to make trouble.
She DID set an example as a celebrity.
She was a REAL LADY!
Tell me when to stop....
Open your eyes and get real!
She was evicted for some reason!
Whether is Shilpa or any other woman, Jade's attitude was wrong.

The only thing she has done wrong is not to have learnt from her experience the first time around in Big Brother. What she does wrong is that she has a gobby mouth and a short fuse. She is not racist, the real racists are Jermaine Jackson for called her and her mother 'white trash' and Danielle who said definite racist comments about Shilpa. Shilpa could also be called racist because she was mimicking Jade when she said 'whale' and told her she needed elocution lessons.

Yes, is the simple answer - she has been foul mouthed and used slurs and insults which, however you look at them, are racist in nature.
But it does beg the question, what did people expect? She was performing to type - exactly the same sort of ignorant, grotesque behaviour that people thought funny to watch and enabled this talentless, essentially unlikeable person to become very rich and famous in the first place!
It seems to me that the show's producers deliberately chose an admixture of personalities virtually guaranteed to produce controversial behaviour, then throw up their hands in surprise when it happens!

Is it a Celebrity show or a Notoriety show. Even thieves ,shop lifters are invited. The BB housemates should check their belongings before Jade steps out.

Only someone who'd been on Mars for the last three weeks would ask that. Jade was awful in every way possible; arrogant, boastful, divisive, disagreeable, disrespectful, argumentative, aggressive, insulting and, yes, racist.

You didn't watch it, otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question. Or maybe you don't know what is right and wrong. It's not that she was racist (Danielle is the one who is racist), she was a bully. Try asking your parents or somebody if bullying is wrong.

She shouldn't of bullied Shilpa the way she did, but I don't think she was racist.
