The 'adults' are such wimps and on the fence; were I a voter I'd never vote for these morally correct mices!
Jade was actually racist today [yep, even with her black genes it is possible
]. Its playground stuff rather than goosestepping NF material but sayinmg 'Shilpa Pappadum' is [pathetically] racist. Guess I was wrong, but I think all that merits is a 'dumb white trash' shrug in response. Abouit as heavy as 'Le Rosbif' from The French or 'snail munchers' in return; kiddie stuff.D

It would be interesting to see a Scoobynet policy statement issued on this; a separate thread maybe? Lets not sit on the fence ehh mods?

I reckon the 'racism' storyline was introduced into the script to generate controversy and attract more C2DEs to come and watch this pap. And it worked. I expect they need bigger viewing figures to pay curry girl her half million anyway. Maybe she's on a percentage? 
I can honestly say I´ve never watched it as it just doesn´t appeal.

I dont think you can 'produce' such a storyline - esp with people who cant actually read a script 
I really dont think it contrived; that could sink a few careers/share values if such a thing was true and got out [and that at a point when there are 5 bids in for Endemol at a 2 billion Euros starting price
].

This is what I was thinking. It sounds racist but surely its only racist if the intention was there to offend in a racist way. Jade is so imensley thick its quite probable that no racist intent was there, she simply didn't understand what she way saying and how it would come across to anyone with half a brain. Jade and Danielle have to be two of the thickest women I have seen on TV and Jades other half is even thicker than she is
But B2Z you dont have to be bright to be racist either - usually it is the LESS intelligent/travelled/cultured/secure that may have a racist tendency...

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.

Nail on the head! I was thinking it lacked an Alpha male there...

I am not defending the thick bitch in any way, I can't stand her. I would shout the bitch down and shut her up if I was confronted by her or watching her bully someone like that. I think you have to be very clear when playing the race card and the fact there is a black guy in there who has had no comments aimed at him makes me think they are just being bitchy to Shilpa, not because she is Indian but because she is far more successful, intelligent and better looking than them. Their attitudes that come out are typical school playground girly bitch fight attitudes. The only slagging off they can do is about where she comes from and what they *think* they know about where she comes from because they don't know anything else about her to pick on or make snide remarks about.
I don't disagree some of the comments sound racist because they do, I just don't think there is racist intent there.

True. However the same people are also the first to incorrectly label someone a racist / sexist / in contravention of 'Health and Safety'

Oh and of course I didn't RTM - I reserve that exclusively for the board's resident attention ***** and resident terrorist respectively. I'm sure they know who they are from those descriptions!

Think program is sh*t, those fakes in it are sh*t. Jade has made money from doing a "stunt" in first BB and hasn't got any talent at all...she is no celeb!

So your point is if your asian or black your more likely to get an asbo/more likely to commit crime, pretty much what was being said anyway. Or are we now going to hear that they are less likely to actually deserve them.

I wasn't talking about Shilpa. The word Paki has come up twice (without my contribution) in this debate and is obviously an unacceptable word to use. The point i was making is "White Trash" has been used a lot more but doesn't quite have the same affect. Both are racist phrases, both in my eyes are offensive but its obviously more acceptable to use racist phrases against white people.
