Ok Ok i know racism is wrong, and that i should be stopped as it is happening all over the world. But i've been watching the news about big brother, and is it, or is it not racism???

And if it is, why is there such a large reaction to it?? especially in India, where they have started burning crosses with the producers of big brother on them, and of some of the contestants. I find this is outragious, and especially because Big Brother is not even broad casted in India, so the news is driving it away out of proportion!!! Racism happens everyday, yet there is that big a fuss(although it should be dealt with), yet this has caused a national argument.

Aghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate it, like burning crosses of people can't really be acceptable, and its certainly not as bad as racism, if it was racism.

I know there is a large debate about was it, or wasn't it racism. I would like to know your opinions.

I'm hoping people watched this, even though i didn't, just to keep this topic going.

racism is so wrong.. yet on big brother i dont see it as being racist! i see it as some silly loud mouth people who are quite opionated and dont know when to shush! i dont agree with this whole burning images of people! thats just sick!! i have been to different countries where people shouted "foreigner" at us because we had white skin and we didnt do anything about it. yet if we did that over here we would be brought to court. yet again the rules and laws are different from one group to the other. isnt it funny who we make the laws to protect others yet not ourselves.

its like the whole muslim veil thingy! i agree whole heartedly that if people want to come over here to live that they have to adapt to our traditions and our way of life!!! not bring their own over and enforce it on us! like that woman from BA who couldnt wear a tiny cross coz it offended other people!! what a load of crap!!!!

i dont think its racism, its more jealously cause the bollywood actress is better breed then jane, and jane is just jealous, i think it would have happened if some other better breed celeb was put in house, jane still would have commented on her

She means that the Shilpa is a more upper class person.

I'm absolutely sickened by what Goody said on that show. I'm not gonna start going on about her, cause she ain't worth it.

I think the reason Goody bullied Shilpa was because of jealousy at her upper class background.. however the things that she actually SAID when she was arguing with her were racist. It's sad that a small group of ignorant people could shame us all in the eyes of the rest of the world.

i agree with evry1 here and i think another reason why Goody made these comments was actually the media because our world is driven by the media and channel 4 seemed 2 encourage her 2 say some words that would attract attention and revenue. they also didn't edit anything she said either and when she said it the media destroyed her - quite ruthless really. tv has went down the drains and did u know that Britain has more porn channels than anywhere else in the world?

But number 1 every1 wake up and understand that racism works the other way to and also.... Kyle and every1 else .... ever heard of a mistake? I saw goody say how sorry she was... God forgives her so i think u guys all should aswell.

I think some of the comments said were extremely racist..but i dnt hink they were meant in a racist way because i genuinely believe that jade didn't realise that she was bein racist!i dnt think thats her fault i think that is purely the fault of a bad education in social issues!!realistically we havnt been taught anything like that since 2nd year RE and i personally wouldn't know how to describe certain races without offending...as in i dnt know what words are acceptable to use and think that is because Political correctness is forever being updated so something that isnt racist today could be 2mo!!!!

Also i agree with Phil, Jade was sorry for what happened and you could see that and I think she spoke so well for herself under the pressure!!!but did nobody else notice that Shilpa was just as degrading about Jade's background as Jade was about hers??are we becoming too/ over minority concious and why did Jade take teh brunt??I think danielle said some far more offensive things than jade yet she seemed to get off quite lightly!!

To be honest, I think the press were just looking for an excuse to stir up something out of nothing.

yes, Jade did say " They eat with their hands in India dont they, or is that China"

However, the way she said it leads me to believe that she genuinely didnt know what she was talking about. The girl simply isn't educated on the subject, and probably isnt educated enough to know not to say stuff like that. I'm not slagging her off, it's the truth folks. East Angular, anyone?
