I think a lot of people think that if a racial comment is ment in jest then its not racist, that it has to be said in a hatefull way to be classed as racist. I know people that will jokingly use the word paki and the like and dont consider that racist when it is! Its like Jade calling Shilpa a popadom she doesnt see is racist, but Im sure she would take offence if someone 'jokingly' called her a fatty. | =D> =D> | | | | Status: Offline

You make a good point though, BB save the best bits for the highlights, it's not the full picture Quote: |

Shilpa is a good actress playing on her colour and her upbringing. There may have been some silly comments and people speaking/shouting without thought but nothing shown so far has been racially vindictive! Quote: |

I find this whole debate laffable, and if it ruins Jade, I think BB have won, and we as a Country should be embarressed by how easily manipulated we are.
It's like the Dummies of Beckham being hung after he kicked that Argentine player in the world cup 5 years ago, got sent off and we lost the next match and were out of the cup. He was hated, and then we loved him when he did something we liked.
As a Country we love Bandwagons, and are acting like Rats to the BB Pied Piper.
As I said earlier......
IT'S ALL A LOAD OF BOLLOX!!! |

Did he say, Hey Shipa, did you hear that Leo "Anger Management Issue" Sayer said that Jade is White Trash?
NO HE DIDN'T.
Did Leo also say that the only reason Shilpa was being spoken to in the way she was, was due to her face? Her colour?
NO HE DIDN'T
DID LEO OR ANYONE OTHER THAN JERMAINE QUESTIONS JADES PARENTAGE?
NO!! Jermaine and Shilpa are two clever people playing a game!!!
If Shipa was not the Stupid, Controlling, Bint she is then no one would argue with her!
If Someone else was playing Shipa's role in this Pantomime they would have got Jades raw reaction!!! Jade is a street fighter brought up in the gutter and has done really well to bette rherself, all she's done wrong is reacted in anger rather than walking awya and comong back calmly! |
