almost the whole house bullied jodie marsh if i remember correctly, where was the hysteria & outcry then?
maybe because she's white trash it's ok, and she deserved it?

white trash is an interesting example
on the one hand the word trash does fall into the category of racist abuse
the word white just doesn't though does it?
For the avoidance of doubt, I am NOT saying that there is no such thing as racism against white people. The category 'white' is a metaphorical invention anyway, there are no more white people than there are black people.
As a good mate of mine who suffererd terrible racist bullying as a child and young adult explained to me, that it really hurts him when people call him the n word or a black bastard, black (insert insult here).
he said that he had called the bullies a white (insult insult here) but they just laughed in his face
the fact is that the words and metaphors association with black have been negative and with white have been positive since time and this is in many cultures and is pretty much universal AFAIK
so calling someone white trash might not be a very nice thing to say, but gaving the history of racism, it is very different to calling someone black / jew / paki (insert insult here)
apologies for pointing out the bleedin obvious but you seem to to be failing to understand something really very basic and fundemental about social history, racism and language

As someone who dips in and out off BB forums, just to keep up with what people are on at work.
Why do people watch this shit?

Anyway....I look forward to seeing how CH4 are going to handle this one...
I predict:
Lighthearted HL shows not focusing on the rift in the house.
Not showing any of the bitching.
Edits that focus on the possibility of Shilpa being manipulative, over sensitive and bring it on herself.

People did complain and support Jodie. However she was the first to leave and therefore it was over really quickly.
Nobody deserves to be treated badly and bullied.
It's offensive to call someone that, why do you insist on doing it?
i'm not calling anyone anything, i'm searching for reasons as to why they didnt get 8,000 complaints for that nasty piece of bullying

You again, interesting place to resurface?????
surely offence is in the eye of the person being offended
i don't see how an example of an 'ironic' gig in NY provides empirical evidence

People did not see it as JJ bullying Jackiey?
It was not part of a sustained attack.
He actually said he wouldn't use the term but others would.
Not condoning his use of it at all.

White trash is a class based insult though, isn't it? I'll bet it's used mainly by white people.
iROBOT said:
so on your own logic a black person calling a white person white trash is as bad as a white person calling a black person black bastard, so they are related

Hmm, I think we need two BB threads here - one for the updates and rumours and another for talking about the issues thrown up by the show. Anyway, back to BB for a moment and *reverse ferret* has been posting again over on digispy. The filleted info from the only genuine insider I've seen post anywhere is this:
Endemol are dealing with this situation in their own inimitable way by chucking three (THREE!) new people into the house on a live show tomorrow night. Nominations are now delayed until friday - basically they're hoping that the new people will deflect attention from this shitstorm (the same shitstorm that's happened every year since BB5 incidentally, you'd think they'd learn) and change the dynamic of the house.
I have no idea who they are yet btw.

That is a good point. I have mostly heard it used by White Americans.
