She was right though......don't you think?

you could say someone who called shilpa a paki was right, doesn't make it acceptable behaviour

ditto sub-human & white trash

but as has been demonstrated quite effectively by liberals lately, that the last remaining acceptable biggotory is against the white working class

 

[Treacle Toes]

and it continues.....

Friends of former Miss England Danielle Lloyd have jumped to her defence and insisted: "She's no racist."

Fellow model Leeandra Anderson said: "I can say 110 per cent that Danielle is not racist.

"It's horrible to see her being accused of racism and I'm so shocked by what people are saying. It's not the Danielle I know. She would be mortified if she could see what's being written about her."

Ms Anderson, 21, from north London, added: "Out of 10 of Danielle's close friends, half of them are probably from different races and cultures. We've even got a friend who is half-Indian.

"There might be some bullying going on but it's instigated by the others. Danielle is stuck in the middle and doesn't know what to do.

"I don't mind Shilpa and she's very attractive but I do think she's a bit manipulative and is using the situation to her advantage."

Another friend, 17-year-old Rochelle Wiseman, a former member of pop band S Club Juniors, also stuck up for Danielle.

"I can't believe Danielle is being labelled a racist. It's ridiculous," she said.

"As a group of friends, we appreciate each other's cultural differences and if anything is said between us, it's as a joke.

Danielle wouldn't mean anything in a horrible way,'' said Rochelle, from Romford, Essex.

"She wouldn't like anyone putting their hands in her food, it's nothing personal against Shilpa.

"Racism and bullying are really not in Danielle's nature. These accusations are just silly.

"I think she will really take it to heart when she comes out. Any other thing written about her she would take in her stride, but she would never expect this.

"If Shilpa feels bullied, then that's not nice for anyone, but she has distanced herself from the others. I don't really feel she has tried to get on with them."

Full artice

But no-one called anyone subhuman.

carol said that jackiey is "essentially sub-normal", but the term is actually educationally sub-normal, and I think she's got a point

Isn't that a bit of a leap? to assume she mistook essentially for educationally?

I'm wary of the term 'sub-normal' regardless of what someone chooses to prefix it with

 

[The Sick Anchor]

Even sadder that they probably actually believe that themselves. Institutionalised racism, covert and effective.

unlike the racism being displayed by everyone who didn't bat an eyelid when people were being labelled as white trash, but are squeeling in uproar when a similar insult is labelled against a coloured person

I suggest you read this thread properly and then you'll see exactly what people around here think of the term 'White trash'...

spot on

 

[The Sick Anchor]

i'm not reading 60 pages of thread to tease out some line thanks

interesting not one complaint was lodged for the white trash thing, but the whole nation appears to be up in arms about this one

maybe it's a leap, I have a cousin who's ESN so it's a phrase I'm familiar with and in this case it fits

Because it's happening within a context of a sustained campaign of systematic bullying and victimisation of one person.

As someone (LLBelle) said to you very clearly on this thread, nobody here has stuck up for anyone being called 'white trash.' But if you can't see the fundamental difference between a sustained campaign of folks ganging up on one individual and an isolated comment then I really pity you.

Fine. But don't imagine you know what people are thinking then.

 

[The Sick Anchor]

people have been bullied on big brother ever since it started in one form or another

where where all the complaints then?

By jove you are right....we should all shut up and pretend it's not happening and that we don't care.

ETA: There has been a lot of comment about the bullying that goes on in the BB house....perhaps this is worse than before and people have had enough?

 

[The Sick Anchor]

why weren't people outraged in previous years though?

what's different about this time?

IMO, it has never been so intense, such an obvious gang against one and the racial undertones go against how us 'Brits' like to market ourselves and our country....

Yeah but name another incident that relates to the culture of the victim??

Apparently some proper racist comments have been blipped out...time will tell, I've just heard on R5 Live that the transcripts might go the the police.

I really liked Jade (working class girl done good) before this. What a shit she is, and she's involved with a Anti-bullying charity. Hypocrite.

ok, so so far on the last page or so of this thread we've established

pack bullying is ok (witness no complaints in previous years)

racist remarks are ok (witness no complaints re the 'white trash' abuse)

but pack bullying accompanied with racist remarks is not ok (8,000 complaints)

WTF is "pack"???
White trash is wrong...I would complain about that. And two wrongs dont make a right, I think people have had enough of this shite show.

 

[The Sick Anchor]

group bullying, i.e. a few people ganging up against another

Gotcha.

 

[Louloubelle]

There were loads of comlaints about racism in previous years, for example whem maxwell and whassername were saying that makosi stank and had breath like dog shit and I can't remember what else but it was extremely vicious and had all the tell tell 'equating a person with filth' nastiness that so often accompanies racist attacks.

 

[The Sick Anchor]

white trash being a case in point

 

[iROBOT]

I'm watching this show for the first time (for Shetty...YUM!!)...but if this is what's been going on I think we all should be ashamed that we allow this crap on the TV.

 

[iROBOT]

it's all really primitive, nasty stuff, horrible projections and malicious envious attacks from a group of nobodies onto someone who is beautiful, dignified and actually has talent

She has, she's a very good actress, one thing I'm proud of is that she said she wouldnt react because it would let the Indian and Asian citizens of this country down.

Good on her, dignity, something the other lot could do with.

Shilpa is Indian, not Pakistani.

When did this happen before?

 

[The Sick Anchor]

that's a fair point

 

[The Sick Anchor]

When did this happen before?

every year there has been incidents of people using alliances to bitch/bully/ostracise people on bb

Well I have never seen it so intense...and don't rememeber the group thing either, apart from Shabaz last year, which I thought was hideous because I believe he has mental health issues and was far to vunerable to be in the house.
