Can someone please tell me exactly what Jade Goody SAID that was racist?

Question

Ok - Iasked what Jade said not one of the others. I also did not ask about mimicing otherwise Alan Davies would be being accused of that after the episode of QI i saw last week where he mimiced a Mexican accent. So far i have heard she said 'Shilpa Poppadum' - is that it (I have been called far worse for crying out loud.)

Answer 1

she called shilpa "shilpa poppadom"

Answer 2

Racism isn't just about what you say which is overtly racist ... like shilpa popadom. If your question is asking simply what jade SAID - then yeah shilpa popadom is it.. But if your argument is HOW was Jade racist... well.... that's different...

Racism is a mixture of actions, reactions and words which are directed to the receiver based purely as a result of the 'receivers' ethnic origin or belief etc. - So, the way that Jade treated shilpa was different to the way Jade would treat a hollywood equivilent of shilpa's bollywood status.

Jade disliked shilpa because she was asian. This was evident in what she said to her... 'go to the slums' - 'shilpa popadom' - the constant references about "in here you're not a princess.. you're a normal person"... "my claim to fame is not meeting a bollywood actress" - and loads of other things she said. Coupled with that she supported and was part of the group with jo and danielle who were racist... supported the bullying of shilpa and danielle said "she should f*ck off home, she wants to be white, she can't even speak english properly". I can't repeat everything they said BUT it wasn't simply about WORDS, And when faced with the things she said and how she acted, Jade herself admitted racisim and bullying, that's the end of that story.

Years ago, racism used to be blatant, but now a days, racism has to be diluted, and covert otherwise people get into trouble. Jade is a racist. And not knowing that you are a racist is no defence to the act. She is now using her 'mixed race' status as an excuse as to why she isn't racist. The biggest racists in town have an ethnic minority someone in their family or who lives down the road... it's just typical. As for Jade's mother... well... you can change the old hag on the outside, but on the inside she is the same old spiteful witch she has always been....

Answer 3

she couldn't think of shilpas surname so she said shilpa fukawala, shilpa poppadom.
jade also told her she should visit the slums because jade felt that shilpa was out of touch with her fans. this is now being misquoted by media. Daniella said she should **** off home and that shilpa couldn't even speak English. I personally think Dani should ask shilpa for English lessons.
Jo said that all Indian people are thin coz they don't cook their food properly so the constantly haves the runs

Answer 4

She called Shilpa - Shilpa Poppadom - amongst other things. She also mimiced her voice alot.

Although it is wrong, I think the country has blown it all out of proportion!!

Answer 5

I dont think Jade said anytihng racist. Dani and Jo did, but before all this kicked off, didn't Jack refer to Shilpa as a P***i? He was in bed with Jade and whispered it to her. How come he got away with that?

Answer 6

I don't think she was being racist, just a childish, idiotic bully. "Shilpa poppadom" is like something a 5 year old would say

Answer 7

Shilpa Poppadom, f**k off home, do you live in a shack? f**k off back to the slums. Referring to her as "the Indian" Taking the p*ss out of her voice, Not racist? Ok it has been blown out of proportion but to say it isn't racist is ridiculous.

Answer 8

She said "Shilpa Poppadom" - & she encouraged Jo & Danielle to say racist remarks.

Answer 9

jade is just jelous coz shilpa is pretty and successful....and i think jade is scum...she deserves every thing she gets.

Answer 10

shilpa poppadom.
