I watched big bro last night and they were taking the p*** out of Dirk's accent mimicking him, in much the same way that Jade did to Shilpa. Is this not exactly the same thing? so they are now being racist towards Dirk...wonder if this will cause as much controversy, i wonder if president bush will now intervene!!!

I agree, its all a load of shite. Thats why have stopped watching it. I love Ricky Hattons answer when he was asked to do CBB:
"It took me about 3 seconds to say no to Big Brother. I want to be remembered as a legend, not a total ****."

Some people of the media said that one of the things Jade did was mimicking Shilpa's accent and that was seen as racist. Jo did the same thing with Dirk's accent and I have not seen any comment by the media on this (anyone seen anything about it?) To my knowledge, the media are applying different rules, I think because both Jo and Dirk are white.
My personal opinion is that it is not racism but they are bullying him, just like Shilpa.

This is not racism. I take the p*** out of my girlfriend's accent. She's the same race as me and from the same country but has a funny highland accent. How can I be racist about someone from the same country and ethnic background as myself? And if thats not racist then how can doing the same thing to someone else be?
Also, lets be honest, Dirk deserves what he got last night. For weeks he has been perving on Shilpa, making suggestive comments and even diving on her and rubbing himself against her stating 'I will have you'. When he got a tase of his own medicine from Cleo he couldn't hack it. What a loser.
"If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team." Except save some money and don't hire Face. He's a whingeing loser.

i saw big bro last night too. i saw them taking the mick especially cleo i think who was flirting with him. ther e wasnt any real racism there like there wasnt with jade, but its BULLYING all the same. you can see he's pretty fed up with some of the behaviour thats going on. again its JOE who is fuelling it by taking the mick and saying things to egg the other's along and threatening to do stuff. obviously that girl does not know when to stop. big brother should pull her and cleo up on it, otherwise this may be another situation that will get out of hand eg a campaign or he will walk. i dont want to see him leave, but if he does i think jermaine will too. i like them both, i cant stand the other guys who are boring, and none of the girls deserve to win. shilpas too nice and i wouldnt want her to win on the sympathy vote. i would like to see jermaine, dirk and shilpa in the final three though. i would like dirk to win!! even though he does smoke those big cigars. they know that contestants (some) must smoke when they enter the house, so h from steps was WRONG to ask him to smoke outside. tough !!

i don't think they are being racist towards Dirk, but then they weren't being purposely rcist towards Shilpa in my opinion.
It was vicious bullying with an offensive slant to it.
This is taunting and leg-pulling to get a rise out of someone who clearly has a temperamental nature.
And even if it was racist, nothing would ever happen as there are a ton of racist comments on British TV all the time about Americans and no-one does a damned thing about it.
Watch any episode of 8 out of 10 cats, Have I got News for you, and so on and so on....
I hope they leave Dirk alone - i think he might crack and go all A-Team on their arses otherwise!!!

No they are not being racist.....it's called having a laugh, just like it was with the other 'incident'!! No it will not make the news because the left wing pc t*ssers' only get upset if their is a difference in colour!!! Then they can really start to push the boat out and try to oppress us even more!!
By the way I must be a racist.....I ordered a poppadom over the phone last night from my local Indian takeaway!!!

Well if they are Jade can't be blamed this time. I thought it a shame that Jade was reduced to tears by the media, in my book this was the real bullying!!!

It is not racisim but it is just bullying and ganging up against him. What do they think of the British public, I wonder? A bunch of lunatics?

the right element to do would tell him that Germans would get truly indignant through that jersey. Is he truly that dumb to be putting "nazi foot fetish" on a jersey and wearing it? or you should enable him learn the not person-friendly way and performance him placed on it interior the generic public. LOL yet heavily that tousled.
