My point being, that if I hadn't watched Celebrity Big Brother I would be none the wiser..... it hasn't made front page news, or been the top story of every news programme, or needed an MP to publically explain that the accusers country are not racists.&last but not least had that country burning effigies of the production team at channel 4.
I assumed racism applied to any colour? or does it apply to anything but white?...... or is the world becoming too sensitive & politically correct?

Another thing, what catagory does Jermaines brother Michael fall in to ....black or white?
As Michael once sang " it don't matter if your're BLACK or WHITE....apparently, it seems it did to him!

Didn't you know that racism in the UK only works one way. Jermaine has been racist for calling Jackie white trash - imagine if she had called his mother black trash that would be viewed as out and out racism from white person. Shilpa has also been racist in the house, doing all the things that Jade has been accused of i.e immitating how the british speak and pronounce words, critising our culture - but as she is indian - no worries, perfectly acceptable. Would you want any one putting their hands in your food by the way, Shilpa can get away with it because to critisise her is of course racism!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to Britain!

I totally agree. It has all been blown completely out of proportion just cos jade didnt think b4 she spoke (which every1 knew she doesnt anyway) Jermaine is the only1 in there that is racist. but of course cos hes black it wud never be taken seriously. it never does.
Jade shouldnt apologise for her actions. Everyone apart from the white can get away with saying these things. i wonder if it will ever change

I agree i personnally think that white people have to be very careful with what they say as it is portrayed in a bad way yet if its the other way round like the jermaine situation then nothing is said about it

Well they are white trash! That's a descriptive statement. Anyone, regardless of race can be trashy. So for arguments sake, let's drop the White out of that statement, and see what we have left: Trash! Can you argue with that description?

Yh it is racism and because it is a black person being racist to a white person no one cares - it's not a big deal, but a white person bullying an Asian person and then calling it racism WELL WE CANT HAVE THAT!!!!! lol

western world adopts double standard while measuring racism. They twist the arguments in their favour knowing fully well that they are wrong.

Jade and her family are trash there is no getting round that.
He also so said that they call people like Jackie white trash he didn't say she was white trash.
