The reason Shilpa is on CBB is for the money, like all of them, but she is being paid a whopping amount of £400,000, I think I might put up with a bit of arguing and back stabbing for that amount of money, if she thought she was being victimized she would make an official complaint to BB and also she has the option of leaving the house, but of course thats a large amount of money to keep her in isn't it. The tiny amount they have shown of arguing etc is nothing in the amount of hours these people are together, this has to be the worst and most boring CBB ever, so after all this media interest in the 'racist bullying' the viewing has suddenly gone up big time!! Wonder if its all a ploy to get people to watch.........no surely not!! Last year Jodie Marsh was terribly bullied by Michael Barrymore and that freak Pete but there were only a few people who complained, wasn't because she was white was it?? This has all been blown up out of all context by the media and by Indians and Asians, burning effigys?? Oh come on, get a life, this is a 'game' show!! No one has mentioned Jermaine saying that Jades family were 'white trash'...........surely thats a racist comment isn't it???
There are far more important things in this sad World to be complaining about than a game show on TV people. Get Real!!

Didn't you do Bioligy at school?

Vegetable, Animal or Mineral

Which catagroy would you say we fit into?

expatinscotland · 20/01/2007 20:37

Yes, but when you're NOT a racist and NOT a bully, you don't act like one. Full stop. Even when drunk, wound up, hormonal, etc.

expatinscotland · 20/01/2007 20:38

We're Great Apes.

Did you learn what other species of Great Ape there are?

In biology?

B/c I didn't.

I learned that in physical anthropology.

lulumama · 20/01/2007 20:38

well, i have never beaten any one up, nor do i follow my animal instincts.i am a concious human being, i aim to think before i speak and not denigrate my fellow man or woman, regardless of race, colour or creed

i have been on the receiveing end of anti-semitism and i think acceptance of racism, however small or large the incident is a slippery slope

Jade might not have realised what she had said,but instead of refcting on it, carried on and on, and allowed herself to be egged on by the other girls, to carry on bullying shilpa

there is no excuse for sustained aggresive behaviour. it is not about lightening up! she got called a paki, a f*erwallah, shilpa poppadum, the other girls mocked her culture , and her discretion about discussing her sex life

there is no excuse IMO

expatinscotland · 20/01/2007 20:39

And Jade would have carried on behaving that way if she hadn't been tipped off by the producers that her behaviour was considered unacceptable by many in the outside world.

yellowrose · 20/01/2007 20:39

Shulpa is INDIAN - not black - it makes no difference to you hillary calling everyone black (even lumping in Muslims in there) but it makes a heck of a lot of difference to the people of any of these racial or religious groups !

Hillary · 20/01/2007 20:45

I wan't aiming at Shilpa, I was saying in general! I think Shilpa is a beautiful graceful lady! & No I didn't learn about great Apes in School I spent most of the boring lessons smoking in the bike shed!

Hillary · 20/01/2007 20:51

Dont have a go at me! I'm saying anyone who isn't my race! I was trying to tell you I have friends who are of all cultures and RACES I'm not saying anything aginst you or you being INDIAN!

Frenchsmallfry · 20/01/2007 20:53

Jermain called Jade white Trash is that not rasicm? It is IMO.

Great debate you have going by the way, no bullying

DizzyBint · 20/01/2007 20:54

oh dear.....

the white trash comment has been discussed to death.

Plibble · 20/01/2007 20:55

Hillary, of course people sometimes hurt others without meaning to. But Jade was consistently vile to Shilpa. It wasn't one or two throwaway remarks, it was a sustained campaign of nastiness. Her background does not excuse that. We can't control how we feel about things (our gut instinct), but we can control our reactions to people and learn to be tolerant and not to express our insecurities by lashing out. That free will (the fact that we can choose how we treat others) is what makes us different from the animals.

hercules1 · 20/01/2007 20:55

I dont watch the thing and i get the white trash comment

Frenchsmallfry · 20/01/2007 20:55

Sorry leaving now, Goodbye.

Cor I know its getting heated isnt it!

There could be a whole new discussion about the jacksons now but I'm not going there!

I don't think it fare he called her White Trash, (she said nothing to him)! (and i'm not putting shilpa into this discussion) I think It may be easier to penalise Jade than Jermaine because of their status - Ok he only said it once but he still said it all the same!

DizzyBint · 20/01/2007 21:00

hilary- have you read the explanation given for 'white trash' from aitch and expat? if you actually are bothered about it then it would be a good idea to read them.

Hillary · 20/01/2007 21:03

No I'm not bothered about it! He didn't say it to me! I was remarking to Frenchsmallfry!

You guys arn't nice here, you try and spread good feeling and you get picked appart like birds on a dying animal!

I'm off.........

expatinscotland · 20/01/2007 21:05

Bye!

Elocution lessons, anyone?

DizzyBint · 20/01/2007 21:06

who's trying to spread good feeling Hillary? you?

Hillary · 20/01/2007 21:09

Who's the bully now?

yellowrose · 20/01/2007 21:12

hillary - for the record I am white and an atheist

I was trying to say to you that the beautiful lady you are referring to on BB is INDIAN

lulumama · 20/01/2007 21:39

trying to spread good feeling? how? by saying we are all animals

boozyfloozy · 22/01/2007 12:47

fultime what a great post. i was actually thinking the same thing. no one would bat an eyelid if a black/asian made a racist remark to a white person.

speedymama · 22/01/2007 13:49

Boozy, perhaps if you stay of the booze you would not talk rubbish.
