Sheer Hypocrisy!

Is there racism in the Celebrity Big Brother House? I dunno, I haven't really been following it too much this year. From what I have seen though, I would say its more down to bullying and jelousy.

However, I did read on the BBC website, that one of the reasons the racism card had been played was because the house mates were mimicking Shilpa's accent. Fair do's...

Imagine my surprise when I logged onto that great bastion of journalism's website this morning and read an article entitled 'Its Hinlish, innit?' poking fun at the asain subcontinents bastardisation of the English language

:-) Its a crazy topsy turvey world

Jade's mother - whatever she was called - was racist in my opinion. Not being able to pronounce the very technical syllables "Shil" and "pa" she reorted to calling her "Injun". I think that was the reason she was booted out in disgrace wthout being able to say goodbye to anyone.

The three stooges in there are mainly bullying her. They are being mildly racist imho, but not as openly as all that.

Hiya Mark,

Good to hear from you. From what I can gather, there is a racist element in the house (don't watch it, but seen clips on TV this morning). I think it is a disgrace and should be taken off the air. Anyway, glad you are well. I'm doin ok, and so is the cat!!! ;)

i havent seen it but the bits i have seen i dont think they are being racist, just bullies, this happens a lot with one housemate being signaled out, like i say i havent seen it properly so i may be wrong, maybe some good will come from this, we may be seeing the dying moments of big brother forever.

Tonight, one of the three said they think she should F off home.

But it's OK, big brother showed footage of her saying how much she regretted saying it - if she did, she didn't remember.

I just wonder what kind of abuse she has been taking which they have been afraid to show.

Yea, you have to wonder how much is edited, and if the editors are trying to manipulate the publics perception
