Even though she said this..
Shetty later told housemate Cleo Rocos that she feared she was being targeted because of her race.
Rocos, comforting the Bollywood actress following Wednesday's row, told Shetty: "I don't think there's anything racist in it." But Shetty said: "It is, I'm telling you."
Yes, things have been said which can be taken as racist, but I think she's playing on it..

I never thought there was anything racist in it. But piggy features is an out and out bully, no doubt about it. She is jealous of Shilpa. How on earth she has become a "celebrity" is beyond me 
I really hope she hits the gutter when she gets out, couldn't happen to a nicer person

'Racist' is a weapon used by PC do-gooders to discredit views people may have by labelling them in such a way that the other mindless sheep instantly associate them (the racists) with the spawn of hitler and the KKK.......

It's actually 22% of young people given asbos, not *all* asbos and thats for young black and asians combined. Of course that leave 78% of young people getting asbos being white.
Of course proportianally it is high - Two and half times that of the population proportion.
You need to look at the reasons for that, to see what you can do about it - I refuse to accept that simply being black or Asian means you are more likely to commit crime.

To throw yet another cat amongst the pigeons..
have you thought the proportion of asians/ethinc minorities given ASBOS are low, because those doing the arresting etc don't want to be accussed of doing so because of the perpertrators colour?

Young balck and asians make up 22% of asbos to young people, whilst making up less than 10% of the young persons population.
If anything it says you are more likely to get an asbo if you are asian or black.

However, to satisfy your curiosity, I was born and grew up in Hammersmith, West London. Then I moved to Wembley. I now live on the south coast. I come from a working class background.
I had two children with a woman of mixed race, who I have seen have to combat racism all over the place. I have seen my oldest son come home with a broken nose because some ****ing cretin had a problem with the colour of his skin.
I absolutely hate racism, against *any* race, creed or colour. And I will defend any person attacked on the basis of their skin colour or religion, rather than thier actions. I absolutely will not accept that the actions of a small minority mean that the majority will act in the same way - If I did, I would have to assume that every white person was a bigotted racist.
