It is obvious that using the word Popadom in a singular form does not constute a racial word. However, one must be sooooooooo thick to think that you are not victimising or abusing or implying racial content if you are saying "Shilpa Poppadom" Is Jade really thick or is she really intelligent but making us look stupid?

Jade is ignorant and ignorant people tend to like to discriminate against others for all types of things, race, class, education, attractiveness, intelligence, sexuality etc.
It is not at all ok for her to have called Shilpa the names she did, I think Jade is a very spiteful and nasty girl and she will not change. She thinks she is being clever by trying to argue that saying the word poppadom is perceived as racist by us now (trying to deflect the problem to society rather than her individual action) - in fact she knows very well that it is in the context of how she used it that makes it very insulting.
I think she is jealous of Shilpa, as Shilpa is gracious, beautiful and intelligent, everything that Jade is not.

Jade is just thick, but NOT a racist!! I am getting fed up of this NON STORY filling the news!!.... What a coincidence that this comes to the fore the VERY moment Gordon Brown is visiting India! A place where 'Shilpa' is worshipped! Now ask yourself where 10,000 callers came from (I didn't know that many people were watching let alone phoning)?? With this governments track record I wouldn't put it past them to have had Brown's trip sponsored by 'Vodaphone'!! Along with 10,000 free mobiles for the locals!!

She's just ignorant.
Although some of her comments may be seen as racist, I don't think she herself is - she's just a bully, and her and the others were picking up on what made Shilpa different and using that to bully her. It's the stuff of Big Brother: the producers are relying on bullying and conflict to take place, if the contestants aren't going to sleep with one another.
It makes me wonder why it's called "reality television" because I can't think of a more artificial environment than the Big Brother house.

I think that woman who found the name difficult to say is kind of retarded. Or maybe she's jealous of Shilpa just because she's more beautiful than her and has a prettier name.

no darling, jade is just really thick it's not funny anymore.
its so obvious that ppl should not say things like that in public, even though we may say it in the privacy of our own homes.
i had a similar situation at work when someone insisted on calling me by my first name followed by africa as he could not pronounce my last name.
instead of getting upset about it everyday, i took him to one side, tought him how to day my last name and explained to him that i did not quite get his "sense of Humour" and asked him to stop.
you see, ppl are threatened by things they do not understand and that's what happened between jade and shilpa.
jade simply refused to budge and singled out shilpa as she was petrified of the person that shilpa is.

och its simple, Jade Goody isnt a racist, she's just thick. Trouble is, real racists will start using Poppadom as a slur and try to pass it off as a joke.

So its ok to call someone WHITE TRAILOR TRASH THEN? FROM JERMAINE JACKSON.
double standards....as usual.
No fuss was made about the comments on the program dispatches was it?
i mean they was only on about killing inocent ppl who do not believe in the muslim faith...........oh yeah sorry poppadom is far worse.
She is just very thick,you only have to look at her mum to see where she gets it from.
Still thanks to this withc hunt jade will make millions from this incident which should of not spread like wildfire.Once she writes a book about this she will be the one who is laughing.

the word popadum isnt racist at all, but jade meant to use the word in a racist way.
watching gmtv this morning and apparently alot of stuff was said in the house about remarks but wasnt shown on the tv.
jade, jack, jo and danielle were all calling shulpa little indian girl, after jackie said it.
plus with all the bullying towards shupla, it was all meant to because of the racist stuff.

I'd say she is just ignorant & a little dim. After all, we do learn things from our parents & u cannot say that Jackiey is the sharpest tool in the box either.
I doubt very much that she would mean to be racist, especially knowing exactly what BB edit after she has been in the house before.
