They'd get ripped to pieces by the press, then bullied into saying they were incorrect in what they said, and or lose their job the New british way of doing things

As far as I can see the arguments have been the same as Pete Burns and Jodie Marsh last year, except the victim is not of British descent.

Just heard it on Radio 1 too.
Channel 4 made a statement saying they've been watching it strictly and questioning Jade and Dan over it, and they asked Shilpa over it and she said she didnt see it as racism.
They also said they've had over 30,000 complaints and the police are now involved

This angers me so much, this country will fight itself you watch

It was a British Airways member of staff, have you been in a coma? It was all over every paper 
Also the Carphone warehouse have pulled their sponsership for BB because of the racist claims, and the Perfume shop has stopped selling Jade's perfume over it

fact 1:
publicity stunt. simple as. controversy sells. publicity means c4 will make a mint from it
fact 2:
no one cares about these no bodies in there really
fact 3:
this crap happens every hour of every day somewhere in this country, BB is a reality show, it shows reality, big deal.
fact 3:
they always will play the race card, probs get compensation and a free house from it too
fact 4:
sounds like a good excuse to end this era of crap z list "celeb" TV shite
fact 5:
if it was the other way round things would be different. does anyone actually feel hurt if someone called them a whitey? makes me laugh if someone said it to me, so fuck, thank you for stating the obviouse. if someone is gay they would play the gay car, fat they would playe the fat card, old they would play the old card etc.... maybe you are being bullied becuase ure a twat, if you are white, indian, fat, gay it does not matter if you are still a twat

Shilpa herself didn't complain about racism and even stated that she wasn't racially abused.
it's the British public who sent 27000 complaints to ofcom...do you think they all want compensation and a free house?
that would mean a whole district to accomodate those 27000 people

did I ever say they were Indians, Non-Indians, Chinese etc...? I stated the 'British public'
imo, 1/2 of it might be of Indian origins but British, maybe one of them was Mittal...
