GeordieMessiah 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 One thing that amazes me is that the BB producers still haven't acted on all of this. What should they do? Nowt racist has occured and the bitching isn't half as bad as what's been seen on other series. Given the fact that it's now (ludicrously) become an international incident and the show has received death threats for Goody and her crew (get in! ), they might want to have a quiet word like. No need for them to say owt, tbh - keeps the rating up, revenues up. C4 is basically pimping racist bigots for profit. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must download that as it seems I missed a right treat there, then. I like a bit of racist television I do...tbh Big Brother should move onto having all the white housemates dress in KKK uniforms then chase Skilpa Shitty round the back yard with blazing torches. That'd be just grand. Edited January 18, 2007 by GeordieMessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes de France never got these complaints, and amongst other things that show pasted 'NIGGER' across the screen repeatedly. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it should be anywhere near as big an incident as it is, and I think it's the number of complaints that have elevated this rather than the severity of anything that's actually taken place in the house - as usual, it's people being offended on behalf of the victim causing the bother. But I would have thought the BB producers have some responsibility to try and get some control over this before it goes any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The whispers are that Jade and Shilpa are up for eviction this week but it's not been confirmed. Sounds a bit convenient considering all the carry on, but it would be interesting. Jade will no doubt plead ignorance (not difficult) when she realises her "career" is on it's way down the pan after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 One thing's clear - the media are just as ignorant in all of this as the housemates are. Rolling news in the UK and in India is stoking up an international relations storm, and people are protesting in India, burning effigies of BB producers whose programme they haven't even seen! All of this is being whipped up by the media frenzy - about a programme which effectively was dead on its arse two weeks ago. Quite some achievement to see ALL the papers getting themselves hot under the collar on this, as well as breakfast TV etc etc... Good to know the country's got its priorities sorted and also has such a healthy perspective on what is important. Nice to see Hindus (guessing there) are just as bad as Muslims [/not overtly racist] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2652 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 This whole racism thing is pathetic tbh. I've seen all the highlights and having seen anything remotely racist. Jade is as thick as shite but she's doesn't appear to be a racist. She's admitted she doesn't like Shilpa because she thinks Shilpa believes she's above her and she's too controlling. What's wrong with that? Unless something else has gone on that hasn't been aired, in which case BB would have cut the sound feed so no-one outside of the house or BB would know about it, I don't see how the media have blown it up to what it is. A difference in class is the only issue from what I can see, in that Jade has none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 “She undercooks chicken like that because that’s what the people over there do, and they’re all diseased.” Which ignorant cunt said that? She probably undercooked the chicken because she's a film star and never cooks for herself. Not overtly racist though, obviously. I must say I (honestly) haven't been watching it but having heard that, you have to wonder how thick someone would have to be to 1) Hold a view like that and 2) Express it in front of a large TV audience.

In last nights highlights they discovered that Shilpa was using the oven on the grill setting which was why the chicken was undercooked and they told her that's what it was. She just laughed about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneytoon 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Even calling her 'the Indian', while not plain racism, isn't exactly the most civil thing to call someone. If I was in there and people referred to me as 'the Geordie', it'd annoy the living piss out of me! Imagine if they started calling Jermaine 'The African-American'.

A difference in class is the only issue from what I can see, in that Jade has none. You're talking bollocks. Care to elaborate? It's very clearly displaced and underlying racism (the irrational fear/dislike of someone because they are different, but vocalised as non-specific aggression). The conversations about "Do they eat with their hands"..Going on about Shilpa's accent and even mocking it (playing out/verbalising) to each other. The general tone of how Shilpa has been dealt with by the three other young girls with an air of scrutiny and overt criticism of every little mistake she makes. The whispering in her presence etc.. It is clearly playing out as a textbook case of the 'fear of the other' and I suspect large measures of jealousy as Shilpa is actually very famous 'and liked' in India, where as these three trashy little madams probably know that people see through them and that their fame/being liked is going to be very temporary. That's my take on it anyway. But I have a strong feeling that CH4 has engineered this knowingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
