Emily - Booted Out

[Browney]

Firstly, I disliked Emily, so I'm not too fussed about her ejection.

She said I stupid stupid thing, trying her best to look "street", and it didn't work. She's obviously been around the word for it to have slipped out, and has had an ignorant enough upbringing to not fully understand the implications of the word. It's a HORRIBLE word. Whether or not a "word is just a word" doesn't matter, it means a great deal to some people and it's not fair to use it. I would never use the word around anyone, and I have similar objections to using words such as "gay" and "******ed" derogatorily (though as kids we seem to be brought up with those words and it's much harder to pull yourself out of the habit).

Big Brother was totally right to take her out of the house. Not only has it shown that this sort of thing won't be tolerated after the CBB fiasco, but it's saved Emily herself a hell of a lot of trouble. After saying that, there's no doubt votes for her would have surged and she would have certainly been evicted tomorrow. At 19 facing the boos and public jeers would have been character-breaking, and she didn't deserve to be hung out to dry. I honestly believe she didn't mean it, but that doesn't excuse her.

Some are saying it's all Charley's fault for going on about it. Well... yeah. She has a right. It was said to her and despite protesting she wasn't offended it obviously quite deeply affected her.

Call me a cynic though, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Emily was a plant in the house. Someone to make an example of very early on as well as generating good press for C4. I mean... they were all briefed before going in so there's no way you'd even think of using that word unless you had a clear intention to break the rules or were incredibly stupid. I'm not entirely sure which Emily is.

I find it funny you're talking about racism when your signature has a character with the swastika on his forehead.

charley is gay. she made so much of a deal out of it. i call people ****** all the time & i go to a 90% black school, so yaknow?

its stupid. but i suppose, bb have to cover their backs after january.

Same. We all make jokes at each other in my school. The Indians call us dirty white boys, n we say things back.

The thing that annoyed me (I didn't like Emily anyway) is that when she was in the diary room, it said NO house mate should use offensive language. Yet Charley kept repeating this word. NO house mate should mean NO house mate, not any white/Asian housemate. Thats racist in a sense too, saying that black people can say it, but white can't.

i think it would have been different if charley or someone called Emily a white person wigger whitey or whatnot, although i wouldnt be offended by any of them, but u catch my drift?

Charley milked it for everything she could get.

exactly. at first she wasnt bothered and she still probably isnt, she just made a big deal out of it for press. also it wasnt racist at all!!!! black people can call it each other all the time!!

I think it's even funnier that you immediately jump to the conclusion that swastika = racist. Do a bit of research and you might realise that the swastika is actually an ancient symbol that represents good luck, widely used in a number of religions including Buddhism and Hinduism. Just because the Nazis hijacked it doesn't make it racist.

Plus the character in my sig is from Naruto, and Naruto is cool.

That probably made alot of sense to someone with a superior knowledge of symbols...

But that I understood.

Wiggers are damn annoying though, you go to america and every other white is acting like they're in the crips or something. It's like Aisleyne from the last one.
