BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Complaints rise in new racism row

Shockingly, it seems that people were complaining just because it was jade and big brother. I may even dare to suggest some people complained without actually seeing the programme

Let's compare the comments.

Jade : Shilpa poppadom

Lucy Buchanan: I'm for the British Empire and things. I'm for slavery, but that's never going to come back


She also put fat people, lesbians and ugly people in thier place too.

I quite hope that people actually burn her, as opposed to just effigys.

Lucy Buchanan : Britain is a complete mess. I just don't appreciate people coming into our country and taking over our culture.

Can't fault her on that point though.

I feel sorry for Jade, she has been guilty of being ignorant and stupid.

The people who smashed her windows are guilty of far more.

Something fishy there and I'm not talking about Jades underpants. The police say that no complaint has ben laid and also that she has never been under police protection - at odds with her PR people who are going all out to get sympathy.

its all a load of boxxoks isn,t it .....been blown out of proportion ......all in the name of tv , the media is a big part of it ,the comments made to shilpa that she got refered to as an indian.......isn,t that what is is , its like me complaining that i get called a brit lol ........the comment about slavery is a bit to the bone but some of the comment are generally the thoughts of 90% of the people anyway...i wonder who are these so called 1000,s of people who complained...........there many many spanish , and aussies who think the same of us brits that upsticks and go and live on there doorstep , its happening all over the world , its bound to when you get a big influx of people moving into your country , the media just are making it worse , and the people who bite to it are just as bad ..............

I think that certain races or ethnic groups are a lot more vocal and militant than others.

But it also reminds me of another disturbing statistic I saw the other day - something like 70-80% of people don't know that the ***** persecuted anyone else but Jews.

If you wanted to see racisim in the BB house, you should ask Shilpa what she thinks of muslims

To para-phrase Kryton from Red Dwarf..

"Jade Goody is guilty of nothing, except being Jade Goody. That is her crime. It is also her punishment...."

weslad

thats it..... (good example above) ......there are all types of what you could call racism going on and all sides are guilty of it in some way or another but it just seems that the white/asian bit always seems to get blown out of proportion which only makes it worse !!

Holy Ghost

all a pointless load of toss IMHO. couple of daft bints - one virtually retarded and one who really should know better - who've made themselves look ridiculous and unpleasant. it's only with a 24/7 TV and news media that we actually get to see these people now. all that airtime to fill. more's the pity.

Basically it is saying, you can be as unpleasant as you want to white people but you have to contrive to be extra bend over backwards nice to anyone of a different race, that to me is worse, for example if you are overweight and/or have ginger hair you can mercislessly have the p1ss taken, even on tv and radio, the minute it involves anyone who is not white anglo Saxon then you become a pariah. Sexism and Homophobia are taken a bit more seriously but not quite like the seething race issue.

jacko you couldn,t have but it better..........
