Robin.

It's the 'Holla back' from a person who doesn't have a sufficient IQ to think of anything better.

As`little as that...

That isn't a good enough defence IMO.

She's intelligent enough to make a connection, knowing that it would be offensive, so she's intelligent enough to know it's wrong.

NO-ONE who can link an item of food to a particular nation is incapable of seeing the fact that it's racist.

She said it as an aside to Danielle...not to her face, and because she had forgotten her surname.

Seems peeps here might be making the same media lead assumptions as the 37k others then?

So saying it behind her back stops it being racism?

There is no defense.

Jade admitted she is disgusted with her self and embrassed no one can say it wasnt if the person saying the comments admits that it is.

She has admitted it.

In all honesty thats like someone calling me Alex McHaggis because I'm Scottish. I would be laughed out of a police station if I tried to accuse someone of racism for that.

True, but there wouldn't be such a song and dance about it if that was to happen. Unfortunately it happened to an Indian girl, so the PC brigade were up in arms.

Yes it happened to an Indian girl, but that doesn't make it more or less racist than it being aimed at a scottish/american/german/chinese person.

I know what you're saying, but however you look at it, there was an element of racism there, even if it was accidental.

Yes there was more to it than the poppadom thing. Its called bullying. I think that in its own right should see them all kicked off the show as they are cowardly cunts. But the whole incident has escalated until its out of control.

Ok then, it wasn't racist, nothing is racist, anyone who says it's racist is being an idiot. there is no such thing as discrimination by colour in this country, it's all made up.
