Dyson Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Bullying Yes racism i think not. Exactly what I was going to say.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 More on the bullying.... Threat emails have been sent to Channel 4 against BB housemates Emails have been sent to Channel 4 containing threats against Celebrity Big Brother housemates, police confirmed. Hertfordshire Police would not say if the emails were related to the furore surrounding alleged racist comments made by several housemates about Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. A spokesman said: "We can confirm Hertfordshire Constabulary have been made aware of two emails that have been received by the television studios that contain unspecified threats against a number of the housemates. Police are currently looking into the e-mails." Hertfordshire Police also confirmed they have received a complaint about racist behaviour in the house. In total more than 10,000 complaints have been made to industry watchdog Ofcom and Channel 4. A police spokesman said: "We can confirm Hertfordshire Constabulary received one telephone call complaining about alleged racist behaviour. "The caller was referred to Ofcom who will be dealing with all complaints of this nature." The police investigation was announced on the day MP Keith Vaz tabled an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons criticising the treatment of Shetty. Meanwhile, in a controversial 24 hours for the show, the chief executive of Carphone Warehouse said he is reviewing the firm's sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother because of alleged racism in the house. Charles Dunstone told The Times he was in talks with bosses at Channel 4 due to concerns about the treatment of Shetty. Complaints began to flood in after Jade Goody, her mother Jackiey Budden, Jack Tweed, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara allegedly began bullying the Indian actress.
scubahood Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I can't believe all this racism stuff it is not racism in the slightest. I've read that Jades mother referred to her as indian when speaking about her that is not racism thats no different than me saying "that black bloke" Pathetic this country need to get out and smell the roses and stopping claiming racism left right and center
Rummy Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Haden showed me a recent clip with an argument between Shilpa and Jade. Then, Shilpa, in a moment of brilliance said : "oh yeah, well your claim to fame is this!" (meaning big brother) Nice one. I did used to fancy Jo, but now I've gone off her completely. Pretty person, but ugly attitude. I really loathe Jade. Got a link? I haven't seen that. I'm quite amazed by the amount of controversy and activity this has caused, I expected a number of complaints, but not a record number. Scuabhood, she reffered to her as Indian as if it was her name, not a description of her. It was something along the lines of 'I'm not giving Indian nothing'. Some housemates have also been mocking her accent and her background, although not always to her face, people are offended that C4 are showing these intolerant attitudes which don't help at all in trying to stamp out racism. There's also the fact that they are practically bullying her, which is also being shown. I'll admit though, I hadn't thought it would become such big news. What is going on with the racism then? Are them 3 going to get punished or thrown out? Surely they cant get away with it can they? It's on the news which I'm watching at the moment, and apparently channel 4 have said they aren't going to do anything unless Shilpa complains.
mike-zim Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 is she Indian? is she infact an Indian citizen? if so what would she like to be called? asian? ethnically challenged? it is bull shit. She is an up her own arse bitch who is getting exactly what she deserves and i would love to see how many complaints are coming from the Asian community. EDIT: she isn't even a celebrity i have never heard of her, but then that is the same as most CBB. Why is she here anyway if she is so big in india? she wants to make a name for herself here. By god isn't she just.

I'll have a browse to see if I can find it, or I'll just ask him again later to post it here.
Rummy Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 who the heck is Shetty Shilpa Shetty, some rich bollywood actress. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilpa_Shetty I say that she's rich, but I don't actually have much to support that, I imagine she is if she's a bollywood actress though. is she Indian? is she infact an Indian citizen? if so what would she like to be called? asian? ethnically challenged? it is bull shit. She is an up her own arse bitch who is getting exactly what she deserves and i would love to see how many complaints are coming from the Asian community. EDIT: she isn't even a celebrity i have never heard of her, but then that is the same as most CBB. Why is she here anyway if she is so big in india? she wants to make a name for herself here. By god isn't she just. Shilpa hasn't actually complained about any of it I don't think, she's just soldiering through. She Indian, and I believe she is an Indian citizen, but her name is Shilpa and not 'Indian'. I did actually find the way she was reffered to like that quite offensive, and don't think anybody should be reffered to like it. Have you seen the bit I'm talking about? As for why is she there, why is anyone there in the house? They got offered money to go into a house for a few weeks, and decided it was a good deal, none of them are doing it for nothing. I hadn't heard of her before she went in either, but it doesn't make her any less of a celebrity. I didn't know who dennis rodman and tracy bingham were when they went in last year either, didn't make them less of a celebrity though.
scubahood Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 So what if people are mimicking her accent haven't we all been doing that to Jade Goody for the past four years. Again it is not racism it is bullying. Yet again it is the muslim community blowing things way out of proportion.
UziT Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Yet again it is the muslim community blowing things way out of proportion. Muslim Community? You got peeps in indian burning all these stuff on the streets because of this lmao
Haden Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NlaOlwqJ78 PURE PWNAGE This is the Jade clip Rummy
scubahood Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Muslim Community? You got peeps in indian burning all these stuff on the streets because of this lmao Its pathetic isn't it they always have to take everything to far and try and make out they are the victim. Its only a matter of time before they all start doing it here like they did over that bloody cartoon
Haden Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Um Muslim community? Is she even a Muslim this is about racism not religion.
UziT Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Its pathetic isn't it they always have to take everything to far and try and make out they are the victim. Its only a matter of time before they all start doing it here like they did over that bloody cartoon You got the wrong of end of the stick mate
Platty Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 There is no racism going on. Talk about blown out of all proportions. Yes there is bullying but its nothing to do with the colour of her skin. The woman is a stuck up annoying human being end of. I don't her, most of the people I know can't stand her either. So I dread to think of what it must be like to live with her. Yes the 3 girls are "bullying" her but it's simply cos she annoys the hell out of them. Nothing racist about it. So they mimicked her accent? so what? if she was white and say from newcastle and they done the jordy accent is that racism?? No they are simply impersonating her. Jeez people need to lighten up. People forget that Shilpa has also took the piss out of jades accent and took the piss out of Dirk's name. So as they are a different colour to her is that racist ? This country and the do gooders annoy me so much sometimes. Anyway Danielle in the red carpet task FTW.
Goron_3 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Um Muslim community? Is she even a Muslim this is about racism not religion. She's hindu.
Zechs Merquise Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Look, BB is the most moronic programme on the TV, the celebrity BB is full of nobodies and has beens. It's utter crap and it's being given far more attention than it's worth. Personally I'd flog both those in the house and the sad twats how turn up outside and worship them.
Dante Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Its bullying and India are now attacking UK for racism.
Haden Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Its bullying and India are now attacking UK for racism. What theyve declared war on us? Oh no we are gonna become part of the Indian Empire. TO be honest this owuld be the best declaration of war reason ever.
LukeLee Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I dont think the bullying is race driven, but i do think her race and culture are used as another reason to be bitchy towards her. Regardless, i dont think anyone who hasnt really done anything wrong deserves that kind of treatment.
Rummy Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NlaOlwqJ78 PURE PWNAGE This is the Jade clip Rummy Ahhh, brilliant! That's a continuation of the clip I saw on Big Mouth, they cut out the bit where Jade started shouting 'no you shut the fuck up!', but on Big Mouth they didn't show the bit where she said about her claim to fame. As for whoever mentioned the muslims, where the hell did muslims come into this? Seriously, that's the sort of ignorance I'm talking about what causes problems. I think mostly this is bullying, but it also has some slightly racist undertones, however Platty raises a good point about mimicking accents. I haven't seen much racism from my point of view, except for bullying which seems to be centered around her race, the point about Jackie calling her 'Indian' however, I still stand by it being completely unacceptable, for anyone.

Because people with brown skins are Muslims. This is a well known fact.
UziT Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Because people with brown skins are Muslims. This is a well known fact. lmao....hindu's, skikhs, converted jews, converted christians....ur fuked in the head mate
scubahood Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I was generalising (sp?) It don't matter if she is muslim or not no doubt they'll jump on the bandwagon. Who would of thought that Jade Goody could mess up relations between us and India oh it is a funny world we live in
