I know what you're saying, but however you look at it, there was an element of racism there, even if it was accidental.
So im over weight and go on indian BB...

so why all the fuss about foreigners, Muslims, Indians, Chinese etc...since you would all appreciate being (racially) bullied and you are not racist...

But it hasn't.
It seems that way, as it's all come out in one go, but it's to do with the years and years of crap that has been dished out/taken on the chin, coming out in one go, and people standing up and making a scene about it, because there is something on TV which has given them a chance.
I bet 50% of the people who complained were not 'minorities'.

There are different levels of racism imo. I would not be offended if they made fun of the fact my country is famous for haggis.

I honestly don't think its a case of 'going crazy over one remark', to me, it seems like any otter situation, where it's just one thing too much, and people have finally decided to speak up about it.
Because it was on TV, it has far more leverage than if it was just an argument outside a pub on a saturday night.
edit - not an otter situation, that'd be wierd.

Jade is a moron, but imo it's clear to see she isn't a racist. You can see that shilpa is also annoying to. They are from two different cultures, and they both don't see eye to eye, big deal, get on with it. So what if she called her miss popadom, not the end of the world. Jermaine Jackson as made a few comments that are on par if not worse that that in regards to being racisist. Oh shit i forgot, he's black, so if a country of prodomenantly white people pipe up about that then we will all be racist. What a joke.
Come up this end of the country and talk to some narrow minded old boys, now they are racist!

JAde isn't racist agree.
Her comments seem to be racist though.
So if a person is annoying, you make racist comments?

Yes but to me they are more observations and stereotypes comeing from a half-wit rather than racist jibes.

Yeah, but the comments were ,in themselves, racist, even if Jade didn't intend them to be.

How and why have times changed.
If a black man called me a white bastard.......would i be bothered, hell no! So why does it bother them.....i wont even say why i think it annoys them, i'd get shot!
A police officer told me..........you stand a better chance of becoming a copper if your black, gay/lesbian..........WTF!
We cant say or do anything now days........i was watching only fools and horses the other week, some comment was made that wouldn't be allowed now days........
Is it because we have more foreign folk in the country.....
If BB was on years and years ago, this wouldn't have exploded like it has now.........what is happening to this world.
