The whole racism against shilpa crap.

[Samster]

tbh, i never said u were wrong :/
ur the one who said i was :/

I know, I was just showing you, as I thought you meant I was wrong

Like I said I haven't watched the show but I don't see how the comments can't be racist if the TV regular OfCom has had 35,000 people call in to complain about the racism.

I don't see how 25k+ people (and they're only the ones who have bothered to phone) and a number of newspapers who have reported on the incident can be wrong.

Basically once Jermaine said they were being racist,all the complaints started,then once the radios and news announced about the complaints,more happened as people suddenly thought "I hate racism and that if they're all complaining ,something must be wrong

apparently jack called her a the p word wich pakistani people find offensive but it was edited out but thats just what i heard

Incorrect, he never called that, big brother have said in an official statement he called her a rude word begining with c

Well in the same way Shilpa made fun of both Jackie and Jade's - so how come it's different standards just because she is from India?

Well, all that was said is that they didn't like her poking her food as they "didn't know where her hands have been" - and from that their saying they are being racist. Well I'm sorry, if someone was taking food off of my plate I'd be saying the same.

Apparantly jade says the "P" word tonight, so if she does - then fair enough it's racism. I don't particularly like Jade, Jo or Danielle anyway.

It just annoys me that it's like the indians are all saying they want to be treated fairly, yet when they get in an argument (as all has happened so far) it's all of a sudden racism. :S

Yep you're correct, she has made fun of their accents,and when Dirk came in she said his name sounded like a dish, Duck Benedict, yet nothing gets said about it, i feel very strongly about this sort of thing-It's like we have to ***** foot around them,yet they're the ones saying they don't want to be treated differently,but news papers and the like use it to their advantage

JADE said she didn't know where Shilpas' hands had been? OMG! That's pretty rich coming from that disgusting *****r.

I have to agree with that And again that comment isn't racist,just a little offensive

jack did say the p word i heard him on T.V i was disgusted

That's a load of rubbish, he said a word begining with c that was blocked out,channel four have released an official statement saying he never said the word you alleged he did

[Ostinato]

tbh not all the racism is agaist shilpa jermaine called jo danielle and jade white trash to me that is just as bad

Exactly. It's like completely different standards. When they say things about us white folk, it's all alright and we are just meant to get on with it, but if someone even gets in an argument with them then it's the end of the world.

The Jack thing was a load of crap the newspapers just came up with and big brother said he never did, so...

I agree with the person who was saying about us footing around them. It's like we need to watch every single thing we say and can't get involved in any form of a dispute with them - otherwise we are being racist - yet when the tables are turned it's alright for them to do it against us.

I don't even really like Jade, lol, and if she does say the P word tonight then fair enough she is racist or whatever - but still, it's the whole situation in general that annoys me.

[Seacat]

lol I know I was trying to think of a better word, but without been banned from the Forum I can't put into words what I think of her/it and her tagalongs.

lol@theword*****r

It's not the same becasue they didn't colonise our country and stal our resources.

As for no rasist comments: Jade was heard reffering to Shilpa as 'the Indian'. If you still claim that's not rascist, how would you think of someone reffering to a homosexual as 'the gay'.

[Browney]

Like I said in my comment, noone would say anything if it was to us because we are an ethnic majorty.

[brodeo]

i think calling somone shilpa poppadom is just wrong..

[Hazza]

I agree with ostinato.. Its lyk people saying stuff about white people EG. White Trash. I find that offence.

Anyway.. Shilpas getting publicity out of this, Why is she bothered?

LOL@DIRK in the diary room.. taking the mick out of Jade's accent.. Well sorry, Its like me saying I cant understand a geordie accent [No offence to anyone]

[sim]

I dont think Jade was herself being specifically racist or the other two mentioned. However I did hear a racist comment earlier in the series which sated:

'Shes trying to be white. But she can't shes a dog'

Now that is racist.

[Indystar]

Ive heard some quotes off the news.. And some involve them saying something about "shes so skinny because indians dont cook proppa food.." or along those lines.. That to me is mildly racist.. And also.. Jade Jo and Danielle dont seem smart enough to insult her in other ways.. than making them seem racist, which I think they are being, even if they arent intensionally.

I havent watched bb so dont actually know the whole of it. But even so.. how is bullying any more acceptable than racism?? Come on.. racial abuse.. any verbal abuse.. is still abuse!

[DCeption]

Surely if they were racist they would have said stuff to Jearmaine to? And we cant say anything nowadays becuase it mite be racist.

but on the other hand black people calling white people racsit things is fine, or racism is never mentioned
