Celebrity Big Brother bully victim Shilpa Shetty has been accused of racism after starring in a TV comedy sketch alongside a 'blacked up' actor. The skit has echoes of the Black and White Minstrel Show, which was axed from British TV screens in 1978. Shilpa is seen laughing and joking with an actor wearing a large Afro wig and black make-up.

Wow! I've always been one of those who, not defending Jade Goody, stated that Shilpa was not victim of racism at all. Had she been a victim of racism this sort of behaviour would still not be acceptable. I believe in karma - what comes around goes around and if she's been behaving this way, I suppose she only got what she deserved - although I must emphasize again, she was not a victim of racism. I think she should be grilled and made to apologise like the other 3 girls (Jade, Jo and I forgot her name now).

Laughing at a TV comedy? Obviously trying to curry favour with the producer.

I don't think it was racism as much as poor taste. Shilpa concerns herself a person of color, so if she felt it was racist I am sure she would have not done it.

I think the television stations are doing things like this to get peoples backs up about racism, I'm sick of it to tell you the truth, why we can't all just get on with each other regardless of colour or creed is beyond me.

Makes her a total hippocrite! She hasn't even got the excuse that it wasn't planned! At least JD said what she did in temper!
She isn't a Brit though so I'll bet good money on it being forgotten pretty quickly!

Shilpa is a well known, moderately priced, whore. This will only extend that status.
