I don't think she was really that racist. She became a figure head for all the comments in the house that could've been interpreted as racist. As a result of media spite, her perfume is being dropped from shop after shop and she is no longer patron of her Anti-Bullying charity. She's lost her livelihood and happiness for both her and her children. She was a subject of her upbringing. An unfortunate product of today's society and had managed to make something of herself.

She's half-black herself!

Yes I do. I don't think she deserves all that's been slung at her and I really don't think her comments were racist. Today she was interviewed on television and she cried all the way through while the interviewer, with a smug look on his face, really stuck the knife in. Frankly it was like watching a public execution ... disgusting and bullying (ironically, what she's being accused of). It's like a public lynching and it's disgraceful that there is a 'racist' bandwagon looking for an excuse to get at her.
There's something going on that we're not being informed of. I think there's a minority of 'anti-racist' fanatics in the media who have blown this out of all proportion, for their own means, and who now have a whipping boy (or girl) in the form of Jade.
She really doesn't deserve this public lynching.
I agree with you, and I'm glad you raised this question.

I think that this has been hugly hyped up and edited by big brother to improve their ratings and made things appear worse than they were. Jade is a very open person and says what she feels, sometimes yes a little tactless but not meant in a nasty or racist fashion. I think the conflict with Jade and Shilpa was just a clash of personality and because they are all living in such a small space there are bound to be conflicts, this is why big brother does this to create aruguments etc. I do not dislike Shilpa but I also have trouble understanding who she is on television and maybe she is not being true to herself in the house who knows. This is where the arugument stems from not the colour or nationality of Shilpa but how real or true she is being amongst the other housemates. I can understand Shilpa being reserved due to her upbringing but maybe she is trying too hard i don't know the only people that can answer this is those that know her best. I just think the whole affair has been blown hugely out of proportion. If Shilpa and Jade can sort out their differences than why can't the rest of us just learn to forgive and forget. I am sure all of us have regrets in their past and made mistake, come on she's still only a young girl. Now what the papers are doing and the public are doing is bullying Jade, how can that be fair. So what people, the media are saying etc is it is not ok for Jade to make mistakes but its ok for everyone else to treat her with more disrespect and ok to bully her? Why doesn't everyone just 'teach what they preach' and leave the poor girl alone.

Yes / No
Yes - She was not the only one, Danielle said something FAR WORSE, C4 did 'stitch her up' (one day the news said they were 'playing it down' the same night the showed OXO-gate), SHE IS THICK, some of her comments may have had a racist slant put on them when there was nothing intended by it.
NO - She should know better as she knows how the press / BB work. She will do all the magazines getting paid for photos & saying how sorry she is, She has had AN AMAZING RUN considering that her career is, well lets be honest, is based upon her thickness / BB. She will also get work 'repairing' her damage.

Yes definitely. She has said sorry but guess what, the press and everyone else will run on and on with this - doing the same bullying that they have accused her of. Interestingly, did the press come to her rescue the first time she was in the house and everyone was ridiculing her - given that she is mixed race did we hear crys of racism and hate - not we didn't. What double standards we have. The only thing she did was stick up for her self - she saw straight through Shilpa "I am famous and have servants, people call me ma'am or madam (take your pick), people stand up when I enter a room" Shetty (what how you spell that could easily be something else). She is being blamed for Danielle and Jo laughing - christ - give her break. If Shilpa was so intelligent and bright- she wouldn't have gone into the house in the first place but guess what, she is being paid £350k for her troubles.

Jade Goody was built up as a "celebrity" by Endemol on Channel 4 in order to enhance their ratings and now they have engaged in the process of destroying her. Quite clearly Jade is not particularly well educated or eloquent and placing her in the BB House in a cross cultural situation was beyond her capacity and experience. Sadly she has fallen into the trap, doing another BB in the hope of monetary gain, fame and fortune. Endemol have now through the "gaffs" she has uttered for the reasons already stated, boosted their ratings at not only the expense of the housemates, but also at the expense of good racial harmony in the world. Shame on them. I feel sorry for her and all those who have lost out in this sorry affair. I will not feel sorry for those responsible for this show should they (sadly most unlikely) loose out.

I don't feel sorry for this vulgar person in the slightest she brought all this on herself a) for going back in there in the first place and b) not shutting up her big gob! No one forced her to say those things. Hopefully her career is over but if sad people like you are anything to go by it won't, she will make even more money by her brain dead fans who buy her merchandise adding more money to her greed, no way in hell I would spend my hard earned cash on such rubbish, she's earned money for sod all, she's utterly vile, and her"i'm so naive and can't pronounce words" act is soooo old, but its the publics fault for falling for it in the first place, I wouldn't shed a tear if this cruel venomous person got her just desserts! Why should normal joe bloggs care about her, she's made millions for nowt while must of yer have to work hours on end and make a pittance for a wage at the end of it, why say you like this plonker, let her face her own probelms, she dug herself in a hole let her try and get out of it, she don't care about her fans really just the money she can make out of them. She thought her behaviour would impress but it backfired hugely now she's got to face the consequences, she's an utter scumbag! Ugly in the inside and the outside, wretched!

I only feel sorry for her that she is so thick she cannot see how people have laughed at her, not with her, from the day she stepped out in public. It has been perilously close to the bad old days, when tours of people were allowed to go round Bethlehem lunatic asylum in London, to laugh at the "antics of the loonies inside" - in other words, deride mentally ill people - Yuk!

Not at all. But I think it's a bit ironic that the press and indeed a lot of the public are now bullying her!

i do, she has been made to believe she is racist by the PC brigade worried about offending other cultures. i think the government has managed that already all by themselves! jade is just an escape goat, they're using her to take the flak they have built up in other cultures! she is poorly educated, and has few brain cells, another fantastic achievment of the british education system and OUR crappy culture, blame the gov for this pathetic uproar

No. We are all responsible for our actions. I don't feel sorry for her at all, but I do think she is merely the public face of that type of bullying and probably doesn't deserve to be villified as much as she is being given this type of racism is rife in the UK.
