I can see where you are coming from wannaBe.

But I don't think the girls see themselves as being racist, amazingly, they seem completely unaware.

Also, I don't think any of them could act that well.

And, lastly, as already stated, they are thick.

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 16/01/2007 14:48

and of course c4 are rubbing their hands together. because now more people will tune in to vote off the "racists". It's not channel4 who get the bad press from this, it's the individuals.

and jade is thick as fuck. can't believe she can be considered a celebrity at all.

Caligula · 16/01/2007 14:48

Ooh wannabe you are a cynic.

I don't think you can ever under-estimate people's stupidity tbh. And also in the BB house apparantly people do forget they're on camera (occasionally they remember) but they get drawn into the hotbed of intrigue and bitchiness, they can't help themselves.

And if they're all stupid to begin with (as it seems a high percentage of them are) then you're definitely going to get stuff like this coming out.

madmarchhare · 16/01/2007 14:49

that was at greenys post

AitchTwoOh · 16/01/2007 14:49

shilpa hasn't got worked up, handbags. i think if the only ammo you've got on shilpa is that she laughed at Jade's pronunciation of 'whale' and said that Dirk was a silly name (which it is, unless you're talking about a knife) then you're batting a sticky wicket.

Handbagsrus · 16/01/2007 14:49

ledodgy that is what is so stupid people are only getting worked up about this because of her colour. If she was white no one would make a fuss would they?

Caligula · 16/01/2007 14:50

Why was Shilpa being nasty about a whale?

Saturn74 · 16/01/2007 14:50

ledodgy, I know what you mean.
I think it depends on the tone of the comment, and in the case of Jade's mother, it was definitely used with a derogatory intention towards Shilpa, IMO.

LittleSarah · 16/01/2007 14:50

I hardly think her having a laugh about the 'whale' can be compared to the shitty bullying she has been putting up with.

If that was her only comeback then I say well done, most people would have said/done a lot more.

AitchTwoOh · 16/01/2007 14:51

handbag, didn't think anyone would have the gall to trot that old cliche out.

LittleSarah · 16/01/2007 14:52

If she was white and being bullied like that then I am sure people would kick up a fight.

But considering it is racist bullying I can't see how that is relevant.

ledodgy · 16/01/2007 14:52

Humphrey, i missed her actually saying it so didn't see the tone.

AitchTwoOh · 16/01/2007 14:53

caligula, jade waid whale and shilpa didn't understand her cos jade pronounces is wwwaaayooooww. then shilpa laughed.
string her up, the accent-ist bitch.

LittleSarah · 16/01/2007 14:53

Caligula - Shilpa was laughing at Jade's pronounciation of the word whale.

Saturn74 · 16/01/2007 14:53

Ledodgy, you are much wiser than me - I watched in horror!

100PerCentCod · 16/01/2007 14:53

Estimated time of imploosion - 16h

Caligula · 16/01/2007 14:54

I think people would make a fuss. There was a big fuss last year about someone being bullied - that woman with the extraordinary lipstick which went all the way up to her nose and all the way down to her chin and whose name escapes me. And then after her, Brigitte Nielsen. Both of whom are white (or in the case of the former, multi-coloured with make up)

fuzzywuzzy · 16/01/2007 14:54

If she were white a lot of the issues wouldn't even come up handbags.
eg she wouldn't be told her hands are dirty, or that she was skinny because in her country people are always sick, or be accused of wantign to be white for bleaching her facial hairs (no one on here use joleyn??)

Handbagsrus · 16/01/2007 14:54

She was making fun of the london accent because she didn't understand the word whale, it is like if I made fun of how geordies speak or pronounce their words and I was up in Newcastle, I think it is rude. You go to Newcastle and you don't make fun of how they talk otherwise they will get offended won't they?

AitchTwoOh · 16/01/2007 14:55

yep, i complained about the sam byllying (geek that i am) and the aiselyn bullying caused uproar too.

NbgsYellowFeathers · 16/01/2007 14:56

I have just started to watch it and I think those 3 girls behaviour is appauling.
Its 100% bullying. Why Jade Goody thinks she can belittle other people when she doesnt even know where Eskimos come from is beyond me, as for that Danielle, the only reason shes on there is because she's doing Teddy Sheringham so hardly a celebrity and hardly a person to comment on other people.

AitchTwoOh · 16/01/2007 14:56

what i thought was hilarious about that fuzzy is that those girls were slathered in fake tan at the time...
