Has Shilpa on BB been subjected to racial abuse ?

![Default](images/icons/icon1.gif)
she may not stop eating with her fingers just because she is in our country but she has no right to put her fingers in other peoples food.![Nono](images/smilies/nono.gif)
if she wanted to sample our culture in the BB house than she should have learnt a few basic things first.
she has rubbed up some housemates by being ignorant, and has failed to understand what she has done wrong. all she goes on about is how she is admired and put on a pedestal by her own country. she has also admitted that she is unknown over here.
when she was cooking the chicken she was adamant she knew what she was doing even though she had 3 people telling her she was wrong. she refused to back down and the dinner was ruined by her own ignorance but felt it was ok to rant on about more than one oxo cube being used. one cube doesnt stretch to 7 people, any idiot knows that.
Shilpa is acting like a spoilt child, a prima donna. she runs off to Jermaine when things dont go her way and all he does is wind the situation up by saying stuff like...'its becuse they are white...and its because they are trailer trash' WTF? racism?
f Shilpa had been white/English then this whole scenario would not be headline news. why is it that every culture runs off complaining when things arent going their way, what would happen if we were to do that every time a 'minority' person did something we didnt like....does seem like double standards to me..
the only thing that i have seen that could be construed as racism is the comment when Danielle said that Shilpa should **** back off home. i personally think she should if she cant live with the way that we live...
this is my opinion, i am not racist and i dont think this is a racist issue....yet

Don't forget though that this is an artificial environment created for a game show, and they're all highly paid guests. the fact that's it's in Britain is largely accedemic, especially as 3 of them aren't British.
Jade is playing the 'I speak my mind I won't change' card, as most offensive people do, yet she expects others to change if their behaviour doesn't suit her. Rather hypocritical.

Well, the pair of you obviously don't have a great deal to do either, you didn't watch the show but you are happy to navigate to a thread about it on a car forum at 11am on a Thursday morning, read it, and then post on it. And no doubt are reading this again now, and will post a reply to this shortly. ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)

Only reason why Jade is in there is to cause trouble and a poor attempt to improve ratings. She can't help herself but cause trouble. Its hard to watch that big gob of hers wobbling about with every other word a swear word.
Granted the arguments are sparked by the people in the house but the BB audience is completely manipulated by the editing.

Sorry to go off subject yet again but lets put it this way. When you start a new job you do what you can to fit in and adapt to any differences there is in this new environment.
If it was acceptable to call your boss a **** at your old job and don't adapt you'll be back in the dole queue very soon.
Anyways its a games ffs lets stop all the immigration bollocks!.

In one of the best programmes of last year, channel four traced back the roots of various well known racists and found virtually all of them had immigrant origins. Even better, some of the subjects, eg Garry Bushell refused to appear on the programme when he found out his great grandfather was black

What are you getting so uptight about? Because I said its a rubbish program and I don't see why people bother to complain about it? ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I am an extremely liberal and open-minded individual, but today is the first time in my 30 year life I have been driven to make a complaint about something I have watched or heard via some form of media.
Unfortunately our society is in an inexorable downward spiral. Jade is how she is because of her breeding and upbringing... just look at her mother. And unfortunately for the less fortunate, they are either too stupid to use contraception, or actively seek to get pregnant to get housing and benefits, and then continue to breed like rats. It's a vicious circle, and I can't see how it's ever going to get any better.
I was born to a single parent, grew up in a council estate, my dear mother has just retired and has simply never afforded her own property and now never will, but all that did is drive me to succeed, and succeed I have, not through luck but through hard work. Now I can afford to buy her a house this year, and give her a very comfortable retirement.
The difference with many of the young generation coming through today is that those faced with having to work extra hard, and in sometimes difficult family / home situations simply don't have any realistic role models, outside of trying to get on pop idol, and spend their entire lives consuming trash media. And when those people become parents themselves, often as teenagers, how can you ever expect that cycle to be broken?
I'm only 30, but the difference between my teen years and what we are seeing just 10-15 years later, is very, very worrying.
No doubt this post will get picked apart by the usual suspects, but its just MHO.

I doubt it, she's got 92% of the vote so far against SHilpa's 8%, and its mostly teenage girls that vote for these things.

I just feel she is a disgrace to herself, women and the country. I'm embarrassed by her.
Is it still illegal to have people out down??

From last week it was Danielle that started the fight against Shilpa, the other 2 have joined in and Jade's taken over as leader.
It's not racism though, just the usual clashes that people have - the catalyst being the class and race differences is making it worse than normal, not to mention being stuck together for that long.
Nobody's at fault IMO, they're all using stupid reasons to argue because of their feelings, we can pick at the OXO cube, pink chicken, finger food, pronunciation, etc till the cows come home - it's just the BB way at the end of the day.
On a deeper subject, those of you naive enough to think that government agencies aren't willing to do anything to protect their country, those that think Alexander Litvinenko couldn't possibly have been killed by his government, any that may believe that (because they're Russian?) but don't believe our illustrious MI agencies killed Princess Di (she would have taken over the monarchy eventually, she was too strong, and the 'cheating' questions that arose; we can't have a king making bad judgements about women or how could he make decisions about a country - easier to have an 'accident').
All this racial tension in England is caused because the government agencies own the press, they leak what they want leaked. They can't just turn around and change their views on immigration and the Muslim cummunities etc. So how do they 'clean up' the country? Turn the people against them instead - there have already been vigilante racist attacks on Muslim families, and things like this only make it worse.

She probably doesn't understand the food thing,but i'm sure if it was explained then she would abide by it. Its obviously a cultural thing. But,there is no culture where it is acceptable to be rude,uneducated and vulgar,except the British chav culture.

It was called "100% English" if I remember corerectly. Basically they took blood from various people and subjected it to a DNA test to revela thier origins. It turned out Garry Bushell had 8% Sub Saharian African DNA - Most probably as a result of a single mating sometime in the previous 5 generations.

Just to shine some light on how intelligent Jade is. Do you remember when she thought Rio de Janeiro was a footballer and Sherlock Holmes invented the toilet

Typical women starting trouble and squabbling - nothing to do with racism.
Women with never change and stop bitching - its in their genes

You've got a point.
Spoke about this to a colleague and in fact although I don't feel any sympathy towards Jade, she has just been used as tool (and performed like one) by C4.
My colleague said shes been dropped by one or more of her promoters due to her behaviour.
Although there probably is some people out there that think she behaves in an acceptable fashion, theres now many more who dislike her.
She'll probably come out and (with luck) vanish from our screens. She'll come off worse and C4 will have managed to do what they wanted from the start

Lol well that just shows his lack of intelligence and hatred of his own background. Most people's views on immigration are that the flood gates should be closed when you consider the NHS etc are already over-stretched. Its not racist, otherwise Autralia would be a completely racist country rather than a country with a far more intelligent government. The BNP are quite obviously finger pointed as racists and in my eyes are but the first real party with non-racist views but a policy of stopping all immigration would almost certainly get into power.
I don't think you can stop *all* immigration, nor do I think you should.There are times when as a country you must help and aid others in the world when their lives are in peril were they to stay where they are.
Britian, owes quite a large debt to the sub-continent and to africa due to our exploits during 1600-1940. We got rich off their backs.
However, I do not think it is racist to impose some form of border control.

Doesn't everyone find it funny how politicians are jumping on the bandwagon in an effort to be seen as "with it" and "cool".
Bunch of to$$ers if you ask me.

A lot of s**t boils down to your politicians and pc do-gooders and they cause more trouble than anyone - instead of letting people get on with things

Fraid not, I don't read papers either, cos I'm a crackpot conspiracy theorist I can't believe them 100% so what's the point.
I think Jade will win BB, the majority of watchers are lower/working class and will relate with her side rather than Shilpas.
(another crackpot conspiracy relating to this: programmes like BB and [more so] soaps are put on the TV to keep '*******' off the streets for 3 hours a night)

Well moving aside from some of the above doesn't anyone find it upsetting that we live in a time when watching someone get bullied live on TV is classed as entertainment?
I do and I think it is just another a sad reflection of what much of the UK has become.
